+Gus Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I really like the new "I plan to attend (in the next 30 days)" feature at the top of the My Account page but I have a couple questions / problems with it. First question: I have noticed that if you post a "Will Attend" for an event and then an "Attended" after the event, the event still shows at the top of the "My Account page". I had to go back to the "Will Attend" log and edit it to make it a note. Is this just a bug that there is a fix in the works for? Second: It says "I plan to attend (in the next 30 days)". I posted my intentions of attending GeoWoodstock VI on 5/24/2008 and it is showing at the top of My Account page. That's definately not in the next 30 days. I'm not nit picking, just wondering if these are known issues. Link to comment
+angellica Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Second: It says "I plan to attend (in the next 30 days)".

I'm not nit picking, just wondering if these are known issues. I've noticed that too. I think it's showing previous 30 days not the upcoming 30. I've posted a couple of 'Will Attends' for events in the middle of July and they are not showing. It's would be a nice feature if I am using it correctly. Link to comment
+trainlove Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) These questions and observations have been hashed over for the last month but now maybe they will be acted on! A picture says a 1000 words... I like the Will Attend feature but: 1. Either remove it as it's current incarnation is less than useful, or. 2. Fix it to show ALL 'Will Attended' events no matter how long ago you posted the log (up to a year for a Mega Event). 3. Fix it to remove an event that has happened already. Perhaps keep it up there for about a week but keeping it there for 30 days is just plain a pain in the neck. 4. Make the feature useful by placing the date of the event and not the day you said you would attend in those few lines at the top of your profile quick view. Or put both dates but definately put the DAY THAT THE EVENT IS SCHEDULED up there. It's been several weeks since all the shenanigans at the web site have settled down but it looks like few if any of the previous suggestions are being acted on. A photo somewhat along the lines of what I'm suggesting is as follows: Edited June 22, 2007 by trainlove Link to comment
+Thrak Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 It seems that the entry in the "I plan to attend (in the next 30 days)" list simply lists the date you POSTED YOUR LOG. Mine shows this: 5/26/2007 You will attend GeoWoodstock VI (Mega-Event Cache) That's the date I posted the log. The Event is actually slated for 5/24/2008 Link to comment
+txoilgas Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 If things are automatically added then they should be automatically deleted. If this can not be done then the feature should be archived. I have not seen any answer from GS regarding this topic. Link to comment

The reminder stopped appearing when the event was over. Link to comment

The reminder stopped appearing when the event was over. Did the event happen to be 30 days from when you posted the "will attend?" Today marks 30 days from when I posted a "will attend" on GW6. I just noticed that as of today it is not appearing in the events I plan to attend section... Link to comment
+dougsmiley Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Either FIX IT by using the placed on date, or REMOVE it. Right now it's just a major annoyance at the top of the page. Link to comment
