Everyone can view the calendars. Only members of TRIADMARKET.com can publish events.

The calendar allows you to post events to either your personal calendar or a public calendar. All public entries will be "hidden" when originally entered until approved by TriadMarket.

Each member has his own personal calendar. This calendar has the same name as the member's username. The member controls who may view and edit his calendar. By clicking the "Settings" link each member can edit the settings that determine who can view and post to his personal calendar. We suggest only sharing your calendar where it is club related or with individual members. If the open calendars become unmanageable in the drop-down boxes we will limit the ability to open calendars . We suggest you post any events to your personal calendar first, then check for layout and that all information is included and correct. Then post a duplicate to the "PUBLIC" calendar related to the event.

The member can allow anyone to view the public events that are posted to his calendar. To do this he must check the box "Make your calendar public (visible to all)". Alternatively the member can list members he wants to view the public events that are posted to his calendar. To do this he must enter the usernames of those users (one per line) in the box labeled "Users allowed to view your calendar".

The member can also list users he wants to allow access to submit (and possibly edit) events in the calendar. To do this he must enter the usernames of those users (one per line) in the box labeled "Users allowed to add to your calendar".

When the user posts an event to his personal calendar he can choose to make the event "public". If he does, all the people he gave permission to view his calendar will be able to view the event, otherwise only he will be able to view the event.

You can repeat an event in all sorts of patterns (e.g. first Thursday of each month!). To track your events we suggest you post them to your personal calendar first to view the layout and then to the public calendars. If you have a security level to post to multiple calendars you are not limited to the number of events that you can post. To post to multiple calendars, be in the "Edit Event" view. On the calendar list, highlight multiple calendars by holding the "CTRL" key and clicking on the calendars that you wish to publish to. Please make sure that the calendar is appropriate for the posting.

If you are a basic subscriber you will have access to 'Your Calendar" and the public calendars. Publish the event in your calendar and check the dates and layout. Once you are satisfied with the listing, then CTRL + and publish to your calendar and the "related" calendar. The event will be HIDDEN FROM VIEW UNTIL APPROVED BY THE EDITORS SO PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH MULTIPLE TIMES. EDITORS WILL ONLY PUBLISH THE MOST RECENT DATE/TIME FOR MULTIPLE ENTRIES. Once approved the event will appear in the appropriate calendar.

Members can select "Favorite" calendars which will be selected by default when they arrive at the main calendar screen by clicking the link "EDIT FAVORITES". The "QUICK JUMP" links will take you to just one particular calendar. You can select multiple calendars and/or your personal calendar from the "OPTIONS" link.

Clubs:

A member registers and creates a club. When they do this, they choose a category for the club, and how private it should be by deciding:

Should the club be listed in the directory?
Does he/she need to approve people before they can join the club?
Can non-members enter the club to see things before they join?

Clubs may contain the following features:

An introduction page, where the club owner greets club members. This page also features a recent club history, which shows any new developments within the club over the past few days.
Group Discussion Forum.
Group Calendar for scheduling events.
Group ToDo List for keeping track of projects.
Group Notepad for making and storing minor notes.
Group Address book for keeping track of important contacts.
Group Photo Gallery, where members can upload images (according to the limits set by your privilege group).
Club News, which allows members to post news items for other members to read.
Club Links, which contains links to favorite websites suggested by club members.
Detailed member list, so that members can find out more about each other.
Ability to send invitations to others who might like to join.
Club mailing list for club owners. Club owners can send out an email to all club members at once.

Inactive clubs will be deleted following 60 days of inactivity. There is no restore available. If you want your club permanently deleted you should contact helpdesk@triadmarket.com and request removal. Once it is deleted by administration you can create a new club.

Games:

Games are free on TriadMarket. Test your skills against other members. Choose from Black Jack, Hang Man, Poker, Memory or In Between.

Market Points:

Market points are associated with your member account on TriadMarket. You can add to your total in several ways. The first and easiest is through playing games on TriadMarket. Other methods are "behind the scenes" bonus points for particular page views. These pages are random, so you will not be able to continually visit certain pages to gain points. Another method is that some of our banners will award you points for visiting merchants. These are also random and the points awarded varies by Merchant.

TriadMarket also reserves the right to add "Bonus" points to your account for winning contests and other activities sponsored by TriadMarket.

Classified Advertising:

Ads are free to individual members. You may list ads in any category, but please choose the one that best describes the item you are listing. No pornographic or offensive pictures are allowed. Accounts violating this guideline will be permanently deactivated. TriadMarket reserves the right to delete any such photos and deactivate the offending account without notice.

Business ads are currently free. This may change in the future as we expand services. Banner ads and link ads, single ad pages are available for inclusion throughout the site. You may visit our rate schedule at the following link - click here.

Login Fails:

Internet Explorer 6.x has changed the default handling of cookies resulting in a situation where many of the websites on the Internet will not work properly. To re-enable cookies, which are used by this site to recognize you when you login, you just need to change one setting in Internet Explorer.

Along the top of your screen you will see some menus. Select "Tools" and then the option labeled "Internet Options". You will then see a dialog window with tabs along the top. We are interested in the third tab (labeled "Privacy").

You will now see a slider. You should move this to the bottom until the text on the right says "Accept All Cookies". While this may sound ominous, please remember that until Internet Explorer 6 was released this was the default setting. Now the default is to only accept cookies from sites with a "Compact Privacy Policy". Unfortunately this standard, developed in part by Microsoft, is very new and not supported by many of the sites on the Internet including this one.

You should now click "OK" to save your changes. At this point cookies will now be enabled on your computer and you will be able to login and enjoy the tremendous membership benefits we offer.
