I OBJECT! Dec 8, 2008

(a) why was I not consulted about this before it was implemented?
(b) why was I not informed that it had been implemented?

I only found out by chance, when I discovered I had been described in RED as "unavailable". I didn't do that !

You can opt not to have availability automatically adjusted Dec 8, 2008

Hi Tom,

It looks like you have already figured out how to change your calendar settings so that your availability is not automatically adjusted during off-hours. I'm sorry that this change startled you.

The default values for these new settings are what seemed most likely to be useful in the majority of cases. When the default values are not correct, as in your case, I hope this will be easily noticed and corrected.

Best regards,

Jason

Same problem... Dec 13, 2008

I'm having the same problem as Tom. Actually I wanted to set my calendar for the remaining days of the month and found out that there is absolutely nothing on the 19th. and was automatically set as unavailable for some days in the calendar (¿?)

Click and drag doesn't work Dec 15, 2008

Not with Mac OS anyway. I can only do one day at a time.

Excellent changes Dec 15, 2008

I also agree that it would be good to be able to specify a day one is unavailable, as I work Saturdays, but not Sundays.

Being able to select several days in one go is great! Dec 16, 2008

This new option definitely saves me a lot time. Also I prefer being able to click on the new large square than in the tiny selection circle used previously (if this makes sense!).

Thanks for all this!

??? Dec 19, 2008

Why was it decided weekends would be "unavailable" by default? Weekend does not have the same meaning for everybody.
Also the new features (?) or script (?) requires twice as much clicking - discouraging when you just accepted a 30 days job...

Good job Dec 27, 2008

I like the ease of being able to mark several days at a shot.

I would, however, like to request one change. The old calendar used to show past days in color, too. I would like to have that feature again. I regard it as a marketing tool. If someone is looking at my availability history, it would be nice for them to be able to easily see that, and color can be important to visually-oriented people, of course.

Keep up the good work,
David.

Edition not working Dec 29, 2008

Hi Jason,

The new system was working fine with me until today. I tried to change my avalability for the remaining days of this month, but I couldn`t. The proper boxes have dissapeared.

The same with next month, which I usually do before it starts.

There must be a bug of some kind. Can you help, please?

Thanks a lot.

Walter

Hi Walter,

I'm not able to reproduce this problem when I sign in as you. Can you take a screenshot of the problem and submit it with a support ticket?

Thanks,

Jason

Now, back to javascript-enabled version it works fine again.

Thank you anyway. It might have been a temporary bug or a mistake on my side.

Walter
