CALENDAR FAQ
For those of you new to the Calendar system (like me), here are some hints and tips!
How do I add an entry to the Calendar?
*Select the Calendar from the list of options below the banner at the top of the page
*Click the "Add new event" button at the bottom of the Calendar page
- this will open a dialogue box for the event information
*Add an event Name
- this is the title that will be shown on the Calendar day entry
*Select an event Type from the drop-down list
- there are two alternatives:
"Normal" does not allow sign-ups, and is useful for general RP events, kinship meetings etc.
"Participation" allows other kin members to sign up for the event. Selecting this also generates a "Group size" field. This will be 6 for fellowship quests, and 12 (The Rift) or 24 (Helegrond) for raids.
*Type a more detailed description of the event into the "Text box". It may be useful to add an estimate of the time required for the quest/ instance/ event.
*Select the "Date and time" you wish the event to be held.
*Click the "Save event" button when you are happy with the event description.
You have now created an event in the Calendar!

How do I sign up for a participation event?
*Select the Calendar from the list of options below the banner at the top of the page

*Select your "Member name" (your forum username) from the drop-down list
*Select the "Character name" (the character you wish to bring to the event) from the drop-down list
*Click the "Add participant" button
You have now signed up for the event!

How do I add a character to my member profile?
*Click on the "Members" button from the list of options below the banner at the top of the page

- this will bring up a dialogue box which will allow you to add your LotRO characters
*Type the character name into the "Name" field
*Select the character's "Race" and "Class" from the drop-down lists
