Exhibition and events postings.

Why, in the Exhibitions and Events posts, do the posters not put the day/date the event is taking place, it's only another line of type.  It's not much use knowing the opening times, the cost, and in some cases the layouts being shown, if you don't know which weekend the event is taking place?????

I thought the same for ages but the date is shown in the linked events box above the post

I've just had a look Peter, and I never noticed that before. :o  :-[

But it does seem a cack handed way of doing it, when another line in the post would give the information as part of the advertisement, which is where you expect to see all the information. :(

I agree with Brian and have had this conversation before with the moderator. Despite the date appearing above the show's information I do think the date(s) should be included with that information. All event information appearing in the model railway press begin with the date(s), so why not on this forum.

Re-opening old wounds, perhaps it was not possible...

Whereas it may be necessary to keep the date in it's present position for indexing purposes, there is no reason why it cannot be restated in the body of the text, which is where I still look for it!

I've not tried it before so I've just checked the calendar. That's a handy feature, and it links to the posting.

Another vote for in future adding the dates  to the post if it is possible. Without wanting to get bogged down as to what the first day of the week is, it is a pity Sunday isn't shown at the end of the week in the calendar as many shows are Saturday followed by Sunday but maybe that is a "feature" of the SMF software rather than a settable option.
