Re: Merged Calendar images show up as broken on calendar
Hi Tia,

Amazing! I wrote this whole message below​ to explain how you didn't set things up correctly - and then when I went to fix your calendar, I found you *did* do everything correctly and there must be a bug on our site that's not making uploaded imaged work correctly for your cobranded calendar. Ack! I'm including the below for posterity - but now that I know the issue is on our side we'll track it down quickly.

​Ignore this:

Let me try a bit of a reset.. I think also now that you have set up your calendar it will be much easier for me to help you get to what you want.
​A little quick background on why we started "Cobranding". Cobranding was originally designed so that people who ran websites could let their visitors come and create their own calendars. It would look like a feature offered by their site, but behind-the-scenes, it would really be hosted by localendar.

​When you enable an account for cobranding, localendar creates a sign-up page for just for that account. Because since webmasters want people to think the calendars are being offered by them, and not localendar.com. In your case, this custom page is http://localendar.com/cobrand/NampaLibrary

​Also, many webmasters said "We don't want you to offer to sell our members individual subscriptions. Can't we just pay 1 fee, and let our members have an automatic subscription? And so, Premium Cobranding was born.

​The advantage of Premium Cobranding is that any accounts created under http://localendar.com/cobrand/NampaLibrary all essentially get their own 49.95 subscription. Some members who needed multiple calendars quickly realized this was a lot cheaper than paying $50 for every calendar (especially if they needed more than 3!)

​Based on how you want to include images, etc on all your sub calendars, it looks like you needed them to all have Premium subscriptions. And because you have (as of now) 15 sub-calendars merged, it would be a lot of money ($750) to purchase a subscription for each one. Purchasing a single $149 Ultra subscription was definitely the most cost-effective way to go.

​And it all would have worked perfectly if it weren't for those sneaky-kids.... No wait a sec. I mean, it would have worked perfectly if you created all your other calendars at http://localendar.com/cobrand/NampaLibrary . But you didn't :( Since you created them from the localendar.com homepage and not at your cobranded url, localendar had no way of knowing they should have gotten an automatic subscription.

​So: The solution is super-simple. I have moved all of the accounts you currently have merged under your NampaLibrary account (again,http://localendar.com/cobrand/NampaLibrary )
​If you need to edit or change events on these "sub-calendars", make sure you use that url (and not the localendar.com homepage) to sign in. However, if you need to work with the main NampaLibrary account, since that is your cobranded-master account, you need to sign in at the localendar.com homepage.

​I hope that helps to clear up your understanding! If not, please let me know.
