Just a thought I had when I read
''Special Events
The default Calendar thread. Birthdays and Holidays go here!''

Maybe Birthdays could be changed to Hatchdays to suit better?

Not everyone subscribes to the idea of "hatchdays."  Besides, right now as we are all physically human I seriously doubt any one of us was "hatched"  :laugh:

I'd have to agree with J'Karrah on this one, even though I myself say "Hatchieday" on a number of occasions.  I think more people will understand the term "birthdays" than "hatchdays" or anything similar to that, simply because that's the default term.

Nice thought, though.  :smile:

Thanks for keeping an open eye out!  But yeah, I think I'll leave it as it is. 


Anything else you'd like to suggest?  I hate to shoot down any motivation you have for improvement :)

I hate it when web developers are closed-minded.  I've encountered the same thing when trying to suggest improvements and such.  Regardless of if I'm right or wrong, they shouldn't treat me like dirt because I care about the site.


I, personally, need all the help I can get in seeing improvement - sometimes implementing improvement.  And it pleases me to see that members who come here actually care about the site.

Well there is one thing I have seen now. I would think that things would be alot easier if there was an individual option to change the time measurement from 12 hours to the 24 hour system? In Scandinavia we dont use ''AM'' and ''PM'' so its very confusing  :question:

Ah, but most of our members are Americans and used to the AM/PM format.  However, you can change the setting for your own account here: http://www.draconity.org/index.php?action=profile;area=theme


That should make things a bit easier for you, at least :)

Ah thanks! I missed that!

Though I would like an option to set it to DD/MM/YYYY and then 24 hours instead of MM/DD/YYYY

Personally, that about wether to use "birthdays" or "hatchdays" doesn't matter much to me. And Atlas, you're from Scandinavia?
