Local Comp Information On NS?

theres a little thing called the event calender on the front page. You can add events to it whenever you wish.

there are the regional forums also

Its funny.... as the two guys above me pointed out, we have two different ways already on the site to give local competition information.  

The regional forums are pretty good, and the event calendar is mediocre at best...   but the real problem is that it isn't displayed properly.

We've added the ability to set your local region (in your account profile) as well as the site has the ability to read your IP.    We just haven't connected part A to part B yet... 

I think once we do this, and beef up the event calendar a bit, you'll have a better display of events in your region.    Its definitely our goal, because what better than a listing of all regional contests and information? 

Thanks for the suggesetion... its duly noted.  :)

Once you can link that up, it'd also be useful to have a quick link to your regional forum. That way a lot of the smaller regional forums will get more constructive posts in them, rather than being a magnet for post whores and 'test' messages. For example, most of the European regional forums don't get used much, but if you could make a quick-link to them, i reckon they'd get more traffic.
