Good grief this is tough to find
On the main
forum site look for the brown menu bar that has "User CP" on the
left and "Log Out" on the right and click on "Calendar" - it's in the middle.
Once there scroll down the page to the bottom, on the right hand side is an option to
"Calendar Jump", click this and then select "TV programme Calendar" and it will reset
the page to that calendar.
Just above that link is the 'Jump to month' which is reasonably self-explanatory - but
this time you do have to press the little 'Go' button to get there.
To add a new event you need to scroll back up towards the top and click on the 'Add
New Event' menu which is on the right hand side. The option "Ranged event" is most
likely the one to use - it allows you to add an individual programme and set the time,
eg 8pm to 9pm.
Basically what you're doing is adding a post - normal text - but putting a time stamp on
it. I think DST means Daylight Savings Time or something like that. I am bewildered
by this 'spring forward fall back' British Summer Time whathaveyou so there's a danger
that my timings will actually be wrong on the calendar listing. For this reason, unless
you're less gormless than me, it's probably safest to include in the body text some info
about the correct timing.
It would seem to work as well for TV and radio - suggest maybe adding [RADIO] to the
title of the post for clarity??
Suggested checklist
- Title of programme
- Channel
- Day and date (you're already forced into adding the date in order to add the 'event' but
it's useful to add a day as well, in the text bit I think)
- Time - start and end (as before)
- VideoPlus number, if appropriate
- Website reference, if relevant.
- Explanatory text along the lines of "why watch this".
Let's add programmes people
... while remembering to get outside occasionally, of course!
