Hi Eric,
I've forwarded the issue to the technical team the other day as promised. However, our limited resources are allocated for higher priority technical work at the moment, so this (and the watchlist improvement) unfortunately might take a bit more time to address.
Believe me that what we 'users', including myself, see as 'easy' technical fix, can sometimes take hours if not days to do... So can you please bare with us (yet again)? :(
Thank you, Bowo |

Thanks Bowo, I understand that you have limited resources and higher priorities. Neither issue I raised is that big of a deal, but I thought I'd pass them along.
Thanks,
Eric |

Thanks Eric, and do keep these bug reports and suggestions coming in, so we have them listed on our notes to then sort out once resources become available.
Many thanks, Bowo |

I just spent about 10 minutes writing a detailed bug report with suggestions and then I submitted it and the whole thing got lost in your system. I should have known to copy it before I hit reply. It's frustrations like these that make people give up on WE.
I was saying that I submitted more events that are one day events and the What's new called them 2 day events. The date and time system for events is terrible. You should be able to enter the times manually and not scroll forever to get the time right.
Thanks,
Eric |

I posted several events today. There is a Headwaters to Ocean conferenece Oct 27-29, and in the What's New section it says Oct 27-30. I posted an event for the film A Simple Question on Oct 21 and What's new says it's Oct. 22.

Thanks Eric. We'll get on this when we can. We are actually going to be creating a new 'What's New' module within the next couple of months. Best, Angus

I have noticed that several of the recent events I have added have shown up on the What's New on WiserEarth section. It seems that it adds a day on the end when it is listing multi-day events. For example, I added the WateReuse Symposium which is from Sept. 13-16. In the What's new column it says the event is from Sept. 13-17. I had another event from Sept 27-30, (IAPMO Conference) and in the What's New column, it said that it was from Sept 27-Oct 1. I referred the latter event to Bowo and he said he would forward it to the technical team.
It also continues to be annoying that I get watchlist alerts for my own activities. This seems like it would be very easy to fix.
