New features for 2012!
Info-box
The new "Info-Box" layout us designed to clearly display in an "at-a-glance" format all the information you need. So much easier then reading through lots of text or poorly formatted data!
It quickly answers the "What? When? Where?" to help you decide if an event might be of interest to you. The Location and day(s) and date(s) of the event are instantly apparent, as are the main features of the facilities available.
Clicking the event name takes you to the full details for that event, also providing a location map and a route planner, to help you plan your day.
In addition, the new "+Fav" button allows you to add an event to your personal list of "favourites"
Favourites
"Favourites" allows you to store events of interest to you, so you can refer to them later. This makes it easy to generate a personal shortlist of interesting events!
To add an event to your "Favourites", just click the "+Fav" button on the info-box or event listing.
Once an item is in your "Favourites" list, a new menu item "Favourites" will appear at the top right of the page.
This menu lists your favourites, and clicking on an item takes you to the details page for that event. It also allows you to delete an item by clicking the "cross" symbol.
Clicking on the "Favourites" link will take you to a "My Favourites" page, listing all your saved favourites on one handy page!
So that you know when looking through the event listings that an event is already in your favourites, the "+Fav" button will change colour, and become the "-Fav" button. This can also be used to delete the event from your favourites.
Note: Favourites are stored in Cookies on your computer, and can store 20+ events.
