Default Forum calendar feature

A few questions regarding the forum calendar. Today I saw an article that reminded me of the date of an upcoming broadcast. I thought I'd start using the calendar feature of my phone for these things, but also thought to see if there was a forum calendar, which there is.

Question 1) Can someone fix it so that the new year is available? It seems to be stuck on December, 2013. In searching the support topics I see that a similar problem occurred in the past.

Question 2) (I would have explored this on my own had January been available) Can anyone add things to the calendar, and how are scheduled things announced?

Often I find that I forget about an appearance or program and thought this might help me at least.

2014 calendar is now available on the forum.

Events can be added to the calendar.

Are you able to see the option to add an event?

Thanks! I will even be getting a reminder notification.

Yep, Ray suggested the Les Enfoires and DALS Tour dates be added on there, which I have. Well, the LE dates and the January DALS Tour dates at least. I tried adding one for today to see what it would look like, but it seems (I haven't checked everywhere) like the only places you can notice an event is on the Calendar page itself or at the bottom of the main Forums page. You'd have to request a notification for each one to know what's going on the day-of. Is there any way to move that closer to the top? Maybe where the birthday announcement banner thing shows up? Just a suggestion

Thanks Ray, for bringing this up. I did not realize that the calendar feature existed and it would notify you of coming events, as long you adjusted it to do so. I will look at this feature in more detail and start using it. Maybe now I won't come in on the back end of her appearances!

I wonder if it might be possible to use a different colored font for birthdays. There are so many of them which makes it tougher to pick out the Alizée events.

One other question I have is there are events such as the Francophiles show in NY and there are similar shows in Canada and other parts of the U.S. I believe that when the time comes up, I'd like to urge her to go to if her schedule allows and maybe urge the shows to invite her which has a much bigger possibility of happening with her recent success. Is there a way to put a note in the calendar when the date as of yet may not be fixed. Maybe adding a notes section to the calendar for monthly events?

1. Getting calendar notifications at the top

2. Different font and color

I don't have option to implement any of those two features directly. I guess it can be done, but I might not have enough permissions to do so. Even if I have, it will take some time to understand where to make changes and what exactly do I need to change.

Edit:

Ok, I changed the color of birthday and events shown on the calendar page. If you have suggestion for color and font then do tell me.

I'm not picky about color. I just think it should be something that will stand out and will still be clear on smaller screens of smart phones and such.

I suggest black for the birthdays, and red for Alizée events so that they stand out more, and well because they're AAm colors. But for some reason we can't see the changes, MA said he will spend some time on it when he gets a chance
Thanks Merci!

Well, everything still shows up in black text on my calendar...

In addition, the administrator could create additional private calendars for individual members or for specific user groups.
Maybe a new user group could be created "Members interested in her schedule" that was open for everyone to join or they could be joined automatically and the group could have a calendar without the birthdays.
