FYI:

If you are going to add a URL (web address of a link) to your post, either use the full address OR the URL open and close tags . . . NOT BOTH.  When I put the open and close tags around an address starting with http://www . . . in the events section the link included the closing tag as part of the address.  I went back and took the tags out and the link works fine in both the forums and the events page of our web site.

By the way Russ, if no one has told you yet . . .  :thumbs-up:  \/  :occasion5:  :salute:   . . . SUPER JOB!!!

If everyone will post every event they here about, we'll easily have THE BEST events page in the south east without haveing to depend on any one person to handle it.  Again, SUPER DOOPER JOB RUSS!!! =D>  :occasion5:  =D>

Well, I changed the way the URLs work in the Events page, sortof. If you just type an address it won't auto-create the link anymore. I ran into problems if someone used the BBCode instead. So, if you want to create a link and have it clickable on the events page, use the correct BBCode like this:

[ url ]http ://www.volksfolks.org[ /url ]
or
[ url=http ://www.volksfolks.org]Volks Folks[ /url ]

Without the spaces of course, they are there for the example. Please try not to link to any images in your event post, they get messed up on the events page for some reason. If you have pictures you want to share, just reply to your original post and put them there.

Also try to keep your post short - include just the info relevant to the event: time, info, links, etc. If you want to discuss the event, again just reply to your post in the thread and start there. You don't have to include the date in the subject line either, just pick the date below when you post. Don't feel bad if I edit your post a little, sometimes I have to in order to get the events page to work right.
