Is anyone compiling the 2007 dates for European racing events that might be of interest, including Classic racing etc. Nurburgring Spa etc.
Just wondered if someone had more time on their habds than I do.
I want to vary my races next year but not sure what to do after SEBRING.
Perhaps Pieter has a list as he prob goes to more than most, or even Termie.
A dated list with a couple of comments would prob be handy for everyone.
Thanks

Happy to do this - think maybe we should post these seperately and (relatively) chat-free? Will keep an eye on the appropriate websites. Let me know of any other races/series you want me to look out for. Any clever b*ggers with a calendar-type programme we could use?Just wondered if someone had more time on their habds than I do.

Interesting, the 'Add Birthdays' button is unchecked in the Settings - but they were still added ???
I've added the DfH Rotterdam meet and the Jersey meet to the calendar.
There should also be a new 'Upcoming Events' box in the Info Centre on the forum front page. It's currently showing the DfH meet as a link to that post.

Not sure everyone will want their birthdays to be common knowledge. Mine isn't there for some reason.
It's quite usual to pilot this kind of thing before going live ya know!
(I've checked - the birthdays option is definitely off - I tried changing the colour but that didn't help as I can't find out what the background colour os - maybe a server reboot will remvoe them)

Your date of birth is probably not set in your profile. Mine wasn't earlier, and my birthday didn't appear either. So if anyone doesn't want their birthday to show, simply zero out the date of birth in your profile.

The current version of this forum software (SMF 1.1) has an option to turn birthdays off at admin level.
We're using SMF 1.0.7, which requires a modification to coding at server level.

If this is just a calender of events do we need a reply feature on it ?
We have been known to wander off topic occasionally and IMHO this would be detremental to the usefullness of the calender of the events list. There is plenty of room to discuss individual races etc on the open forum.

Maybe I'm being oversensitive but IMO we should turn the calendar off, as there may be many legitimate reasons (other than vanity) why members don't want their birthdays made public.
It's all very well saying preople can remove them from their profiles but most of our membership hasn't logged on for months.
Steve, we should see if Lennarts can upgrade to the later version...
