Google Calendar Integration

[DJShy 873]

Hello! My suggestion is very simple:

 

I would LOVE to see some Google Calendar integration for the calendar events on this site, like say the friday night movie thingy or any other special event posted to that little segment of the site, so that those who use Google Calendar can get reminders of when such and such is gonna happen.

 

 

The reason I think this would be a good idea is as followed:

 

I LOVE going to the Friday Night Movie Night thing. However, I often times forget when it is on, and I miss the whole first movie and half of the second. And anyone who knows me knows that I believe that it isn't worth the confusion to watch the second half of a movie if you hadn't seen the first half, even if you've seen the movie already.

 

While I cannot think of anymore personal experiences that would require this integration, the movie night thing is VERY importaint to me, and I'm sure their are others with similar problems regarding site events and being forgetful.

 

 

So here is what I'm suggestion: find a way to insert Google Calendar into this site, so that those who use said calendar can get reminders of when such and such is gonna happen.

 

Another reason for this, is that with Google Calendar, you have better selection options for recurring events. Like say you have an event that would take up monday, wednesday, and friday for three weeks. You can do that with Google Calendar, but with the site's calendar, I'm pretty sure all you can do is set it to weekly for one day to reoccur for weeks.

 

Also, I'm aware of the settings in the options for e-mails, but I dunno about others on this site, but I rarely check my emails. That's why I turned off all my email notifications that I could. Because I can't handle more junk that I already read on here when I visit this site.

 

Also, I am one of many who spends about 90% of their online time on a phone or tablet. What I need is pop-ups while I'm doing stuff on said device(s) to remind me of stuff on this site. And that is what Google Calendar does. Give me pop-ups for stuff like Movie Night when I'm, let's say for an example, I spend too much time watching YouTube videos and I lose track of the time.

 

 

 

Thank you for reading this and giving me the time of day. I hope to hear from you guys soon, and I hope you agree with me on this!

Integrating the IPB calendar with Google Calendar sounds like an idea worth looking into.

 

As far as notifications ... that is something that we are looking into and have been for some time.

Actually, as far as notifications while doing other things goes, Google Calendar does that already. I get pop-up during YouTube videos on my phone all the time for IRL stuff I keep forgetting to take off. Lolz
