Event Forum - What do you think?
Ok, I've received feedback from some of you but it's not enough to guage what things need to be changed/fixed or if certain things aren't as intuitive as they should be.
So, let it rip!
-- The last option is there because some a small handful of people still cannot see the forum (due to either a cache or permissions issue) -- Those of you that pick #4 please reply in here
I don't think Sticky Threads for events are as effective as they were in regular forum.
For me at least - the first thing I do is look in the middle of the screen and see events that are there.
I think a much more effective solution would be to highlight those threads in a special color(like we did in Masterlist), so that they are highly noticeable, but not sticky them.
EDIT: I cannot vote for some reason. No permissions.
I didn't pick option #4. 
I think the events forum is a great idea but I just had one question/concern. If I find out about an event, say 3 months way, can I go ahead and make a thread in the events forum or should I wait for the promoter (if any) from that club to do that? This is what I liked most about the masterlist. We could find out about an event way ahead of time and then effectively plan our schedules etc. Then the promoter for the event would create an official event thread for it a few weeks before the event.
Suggestion: I think the masterlist or something similar to it should be stickied in the events forum with no links to threads. That way we can see what's coming up few months down the road and then wait for the official thread by the promoter to find out all the details.
i can't seem to vote either..

I think it is awesome. Good work mates.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i dont know what toure talking aboout.anyways GOOD LUCK
I think its great too.
I think i share the same opinion as Tordan on this tho. The masterlist was a quick reference and very convenient to look up past events. Ive got an idea. Scrap the past events sticky, and sticky the masterlist there so you can look up the past events easier. Just a suggestion!
Now I see it....
Hey Cal....I know that I told you @ Glam boutique that I wasn't able to "see" the events forum but now I know where to look so NOT that I know where I can say that it IS a great idea and I'm all for it...ALL events should be posted there

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NOT=NOW
an idea: to avoid that you miss new events (imo that is much easier now, since the newst is not the one on the top, and also perhaps you don't visit that forum as mucha s the main one...), is that everytime a new event is added in the events forum, a (locked) thread in the main forum is also started, so you can see when new events has comed, but they will rather soon go to the button anyway and not bother too much
if you understood how i meant? =)

I like it... but I would still keep the masterlist stickied at the top as a qwik refrence to all future & past events...
Awesome stuff - i'm liking this new forum. Makes surfing for the latest events much faster, and definitely feels more organized, since its only promotors will be actually posting the details of the upcoming events.
The rumors/unofficial/roll-call threads oughtta stick to the main Toronto forum.. less confusion for all.
As for the past events section its looking good too.. espiecially with the icons for reviews & pics, I cant wait for more pics/reviews to get populated on past events. Sounds like a lotta searching thru the forums for those tho!
:EDIT: Quick question about Past Events what if there were multiple review threads or even picture threads for a certain event? I know most events only have one big review thread that actually matters - but I notice some people post thier pics in new/different threads (and sometimes - they are even posted on a different website's gallery) as well. For example, there are 2 threads for Freedom pics: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=184322 & http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=185860
are you gonna somehow post links to both these threads or just pick one of them for the camera icon link?
I like this forum.
It's easier to find info about the events (upcoming or past).
Listing in order of event date is a great idea too.
There should be a voting option:
"Its cool but I like the TOTA event listings better the way it was before"
not that this is my vote though...im still undecied i guess.
