You have 2 choices; however, unless you have Admin, Moderator or Business Owner priviledges you will not be able to enter an event on the Events Calendar.

Next you have the option of making your event either a Public Event (everyone is able to view it) or making it a Private Event (only you will be able to view it).

After entering the type of event you wish to enter then you can move to the next section which is where you can enter a description of your function. Entering your function description is done the same way as entering a normal post on the forum. You can add text and you can alter the size, color and effects the same as a normal post. you are also able to add emoticons to your description if you so choose, it is no different than a normal post in that regard.
[attachment=545:018_Ente...cription.jpg]

Once you have entered your event description there are only a couple of steps remaining. Go to the bottom of the screen and on the left of the screen you will see a checkbox that enables emoticons. If you have added emoticons to your descrition ensure that this box is checked, it is normally already checked by default.

To do this you will need to ensure that first you have enteredinto the proper screen by clicking on Add a Recurring Event on the main calendar screen.

Once you are on the correct screen look for the section that says Recurring Event, this is where you will set the start and end dates as well as the frequency of your event. there are three selections under frequency: Week, Month & Year. The date settings are done in the same way as for a ranged event. To set the frequency of your event select the drop down menu to the right of where it says Recurring Event beside the word 'every'.
