Those of you who use SwiftKit may have noticed that with the latest version there's a new feature called the Events Hub. I've just been reading through the FAQs and testing it out and it really is a great tool.

How it works
You create an event at the create event page. After you enter the details of the event you'll be given a link that you enter into the Events Hub utility built into SK. When you import a link it lists all the information about the event that you could possibly want to know and will also give reminders that it is about to start 60, 30 and 15 minutes before it's due to start.

I've made some changes to the Creating Events sticky in the Events forum so make sure you re-read it before you make an event.

I've also written a guide in the Events forum for how to import links into the Events Hub utility and how to read the information that it shows which everyone should read. You can find that topic here.


FAQs
Can everyone see events that I create?
No. The only way for someone to view an event that you have created is via the event import URL. So clans need not worry about outside members viewing their events.

How long do events stay listed?
Events are deleted from the database automatically 48 hours after the specified event date.

Can I delete an event?
No, as stated above events are deleted from the database automatically.

Can I modify an event I've already created?
Currently no, you will have to re-create it. This is something we'll be looking into in the future though.

How often does the reminder remind me when an event is about to start?
The event reminder will alert you 60, 30 and 15 minutes prior to an event starting.

How come when I put in an Event Info URL it keeps coming up as "INVALID URL"?
You need to enter a valid URL, which includes http:// at the begining.

As i said i will be willing to update all events into SK database and provide links with people to import. My event attendance is not phenominal, but that's because of lousy times for me, and I figure this is the one way i can help with events, even if i cannot attend them.

Very kind of you Sooth, but I think it's easy enough for the event hoster to do.
It only takes like a minute per event biggrin.gif
