Dear Customers,

This Monday, March 3rd, 2014, you’ll notice some reorganization and enhancements being made to the top section of your calendar. These changes won’t affect calendar operation and don’t require any action on your part.

Let’s take a look at some of the improvements you’ll likely notice right off the bat.

Login button is now located to the far-right of your calendar’s gray navigation bar.

Once you login to your calendar, a new Logged in Navigation Bar appears just above the gray bar. Here you’ll find the Add Event and Admin Menu buttons. The Logged in Navigation Bar is visible only to logged in calendar editors and not visible to calendar or website visitors.

Export, iCal/RSS and Suggest an Event forms have been redesigned and no longer open in new browser window. This change will eliminate the risk of browser pop-up blockers preventing your visitors from accessing these cool features.

We’ve also relocated the iCal/RSS feed  as a button on the gray navigation bar to make it easier for visitors and users to subscribe to your calendar.

The Go To Date button has been redesigned and now opens quickly, instead of opening a new window.

If you use our Suggest Event feature, you’ll notice that the Logged in Navigation bar will now include a red label indicating the number of “new” event suggestions. Click it to manage your suggested events as you always have.  Only logged-in administrators and permitted logged in managers will view the suggest event label.

Login screen has also been redesigned.

All calendars will be upgraded on March 3rd 2014.

These updates come to you at no additional costs or fees, and no action is required on your part. As always if you have questions, comments or feedback in general, please drop us a line at support@calendarwiz.com or leave a comment below.

Thanks for reading, and don’t forget to mark your calendar!
