 Your user interface is underwhelming.If I specify "Event Repeats", there is only one occurence posted, sometimes, other times nothing gets posted. Even after specifing a "Repeat Until" date just a few days from the initial event Date How is the "By Day of Week" supposed to work? Results are erratic at best. Also, why is there no "Cancel" function available? |

You have to tell the event when to repeat. Your post is missing vital information - did you say the event should repeat weekdays? weekends? If you enter an event on a Monday and tell it to repeat weekends - nothing will be shown (  )"By Day of Week" means exactly what it says. If an event repeats on the same day(s) of the week each and every week, this is your setting. Then, it's just up to you to select which days it repeats on.
Umm, because that's a very ambiguous word? There's a line that says "Skip occurrences that fall on these dates..." so you can "Cancel" specific recurrences. All in all, our repeat functionality is very powerful. Sorry you're having trouble. ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Marc, After providing start and end dates, it is not a very powerfully function, if one has to also provide day of week information. "CANCEL" is not an "ambiguous word" in WINDOWS. It most always appears on the line with "SAVE" and means abort this transaction and return to the previous screen. Another problem: There seems to be a difference between the "Public" and "elsie" selection of default date for added event. "elsie" uses the selected date at the point of "Add event" "public" returns to the current date and this not expected by a user. I have already had to go in and correct several public additions. |

An event repeats from Oct 1 to Oct 15th. Does it repeat every day between 1 and 15, every other day, every Monday and Wednesday? I rest my case.
Not everyone who uses the Web is a Windows user  . Cancel might mean "Cancel the single event instance I am looking at", "Cancel my using the Event Editor", or "Cancel the entire event". When you are talking about events, Cancel has an entirely different meaning then looking at a dialog box in Windows.
I have no idea what this means. I think you're talking about when you're signed in to the calendar (elsie?) versus... ? ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |
