Calender - problems, and potential!
I recently tried using your calender. You have to click on the rcuniverse logo to see what is on that date. Often the same event comes up regardless of the date. Try it yourself and you will see what I mean. Even if the information on your calander were accurate, it is still an effort to have to click on each date to see what event is scheduled. I think there must be a better calender format that you could use...
On a constructive note: Good calender information from any one source is something very hard to find in the RC community. I spend a fair amount of time in Google searches looking for club sites that have current calender information. It would require some effort on your part to develope and maintain some good information contacts (rather than just letting your members post events as you do now), but it would be wonderful if rcuniverse had such a complete and accurate calender that you became THE source on the web for this type of information. Also, including a calender catagory of "swap meets" would be a welcome addition to "event types".

RE: Calender - problems, and potential!
I fully agree with you. I don't like having to click on that every time to see events. not a good implementation.
we do have this calendar as well: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/calendar.asp
we plan on revamping the other one in several ways to address the issues that plague it but have not thus far since we have been adding other stuff or doing minor fixes in other sections.
I want the caledar to show all events in a date plus a text listing under the calendar of all events within the next 30 days based on your filters. this way you can look at the calendar or look below it too for events. some other ideas I have too for it but michael is working on a couple other things so it could be a couple weeks.
In the meantime take a look at the other calendar as that has some cool features.
