How can I add a new event to the calendar?

This is much easier than it used to be. We don't use the "events" forum any more, as we have a fully integrated events calendar now.

From the "Quick Links" menu on the right side of this page, click on "Create content" and then select "Event" from the list of available content types (or jump right now to the Add event page).

You need to read the "tips" before adding your event, as we do need event info added in a particular way to make it work well on the site (and for your event as well).

Events can be added by registered users or by visitors. Events added by visitors will need to be approved by the site administrator, whereas events added by registered users go live right away.

If you've added your event correctly you should see it in the events list on the home page (if it's near the event date) or on the Events listing page.
