Guided Mode and Enhanced Mode
Guided Mode pops up a box when you click a button asking what you want to be input in that style. Enhanced Mode simply inserts an opening tag, you do your typing, then click the button again and a closing tag is inserted.
Highlighting the text to modify and then clicking on the button is available in both modes.

Groups
User groups are mainly one way to handle permissions and privileges. They are not implemented as we have been handling this otherwise, but there could well be a group 'Canon Forum' of users who have access to the private canon forum.

Can a normal user input the mouse-over popup which describes the link in question
The hover-message is actually a preview of the beginning of the first post.

Private Message Coloured Status Bar
From what I can tell, the bar represents PMs in your inbox (red), sent items (yellow), and free space (green), giving a graphical representation of the space occupied and available.

Searching

I am re-indexing the search database now, and that usually takes several hours. This may slow the forum down a little now and then, but when it is finsihed, the search function should work correctly again.

Question Using the Private Calendar

When I try to add an event to my Private Calendar, I get this message:

Quote:
piosenniel, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Please advise as I do like to use the Calendar function.

Calendars and Reminders
By clicking on CALENDAR at the top task bar you access the forums public calendar. This contains the birthdays of users who entered their date in their profile, and anything administration might consider important.

You can access your private calendar by selecting Private instead of Public on the Calendar Jump dropdown on the bottom right and hitting GO.
There you can add private events which only you can access, because the private calendars depend on the user name. After you've added an event, you can select 'Add reminder for this event' on the following screen.

I can view my Private Calendar with the events I've already added, but when I click on (still under my Private Calendar and logged in as piosenniel):

Add an Event

and try to add any of the following:

Single, All Day Event
Ranged Event
Recurring Event

I get this message:

Also - once an Event is placed on the Private Calendar - is it possible to Delete it so that it can be moved to another date?

Silmaril

I like it!
Very clear and easy to read. I also like the log in at the top of the page, definitely an improvement
It will be interesting to see if there are more changes the next time that I visit.

Editing Calendar Events
After you've entered a date into your private calendar (see above), you can bring up the event's overview by clicking on it. You can see the description you entered, request a reminder for the event, and edit or delete the event under Event options.

Adding events to your private calendar is allowed for all users. This is how it is set, and I have verified it by creating a test account and editing its calendar.
