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.
