We have an Events Calander module on the left, is that what you mean?

Yes

Did we figure events was too much work to maintain?

Well, if we're keeping it I'll add some country events to it later. Just need to find the list...

If people are adding to it then we should definitely keep it. The last time we had TFS running you could see it was getting loads of hits

If we are keeping it, then surely it needs the calender module?

It's a bit chicken and egg I suppose. The more people use it the more people will add stuff etc...

It's just the amount of space that it takes, that's all.

So we are back to the "busy" argument. I think that in order to get the poeple drilling down into things, they need to be on the front page....

I've got no problem with the month view as long as it's an active component, just seems pointless if it's not actively being populated (which it isn't)

The separators are confusing me. The left column one you said was missing, did indeed appear to be missing when I looked, now it isn't for me.

Now they are all there, following some changes. But it is still odd, with the same style sheet and code on the mirror I was not seeing the left hand divider. Now it seems to be there on both platforms.

Me too. Although I'm not entirely happy with it stylistically I've got to say that it works about a 1000% better than it did in terms of content presentation and ease of use..

Glad to hear it, I did groan a bit at the length of your list

Whilst I know it all has to be open do discussion and criticism, it has been buckets of work for all involved in the new style, and I do think it is way way better than 1 week ago.

I can see that a heck of a lot of work has been involved, but the results are excellent - miles better than it was. Well done!
