How do I see what is new?

The RGC web site has two main areas of constant updates from the community.

The first area is the main RGC web site, commonly referred to as the "front pages". These include game reviews, polls, albums, interviews, and RGC event updates. To see what is new on the front pages, complete the following:

  1. Log in to RGC.
  2. Click Recent posts from the left most navigation list.
  3. All of the published front page content is listed. Any updates will be listed here.

The second area is the RGC forums. The forums contain ongoing conversations between RGC members such as sharing ideas, commenting on games, and so on. To see what is new in the forums, complete the following:

  1. Log in to RGC.
  2. Click Forums from the top most navigation bar.
  3. Click View new posts found at the top of the forums.
  4. A list of all the updated forum threads since your last visit are displayed.
  5. Alternatively, you could also click View active topics to see the most active discussions currently available in the forums.
How do I add a public event to the calendar?

All public events associated with Rochester Gamers Community must first be approved by the Board of Directors.

Once approved, the event can be added to the community calendar. Adding content to the calendar is a two step process.

To add an event, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Events Schedule found at top.
  2. Click Events > Add New Event found at top of the calendar.
  3. Enter the appropriate information into each form field.
  4. Enter the correct letters and numbers from the image into the text box. This small test serves as access restriction against malicious bots.
  5. Click Save.

IMPORTANT!

Your event has been added to the calendar, but will not be made public until you contact Jeff (Darkwind), informing him you have added a calendar event. Jeff will review your request, make any minor edits as necessary, and publish your event.

The best way to contact Jeff is by sending him a Private Message (PM) via the forum.
