Adding (repeating) events stopped working

    unfortunately adding events stopped working, two cases:

    a. if i add an event on a given date and want to repeat this event on every fourth thursday of the month the program will not let me do this, it suggests a wrong repeating day; changing the given date does not change the repeating suggested day of the month;

    b. after i added a single event and add another date for this event, the program says: event is added but if i go yo my browser the added date does not show; going back to my calendar it only shows the first event, not the added event;

    never had these issues before ??

    a) Can you give me more detail? I just tested creating this repeating pattern, and I don’t see a problem. But I’m also not sure what you mean by “suggested day of the month” – I can’t think of anything in My Calendar that suggests a day of the month for you in this process.
    b) I also can’t reproduce this. Is it possible you have a cache in place that needs to be refreshed?

    i explain the steps:

    first issue:
    a. added a new event on thursday may 23, 2022, all day event, no problem, the event shows up in browsers;
    b. i go this event to edit it; click on edit repetition pattern which gives me the following options:
    – no repeating
    – daily
    – daily on weekdays
    – monthly on a specific date (24th of month)
    – monthly on a specific day (every third monday of the month)
    – yearly
    although i am surprised by the monthly options (why 24th, why third monday?) i choose every third monday of the month, hoping that this will be adjusted as we go; for repeated until i choose a date in the year 2026;
    however, the repetition pattern box keep saying:
    monthly until 2022-05-23
    frequency: 1, monthly on a certain date (24th of month)
    repeat until 2022-5-23
    view scheduled dates: empty!
    nothing happens no matter what i try

    ok, now i go to the next problem:
    i want to add a date to the above mentioned current event;
    so i click on ‘add date’
    i choose 2022-7-11
    program says: a new date has been added
    i click on update (not sure if this is necessary but should do no harm)
    i click on scheduled dates: empty!! no 2022-7-11

    i have been using my calendar for years, including the repeating pattern options, never had these issues before;
    hope you an help me out before i have to decide to go back to older version

    thank you,

    a) Having set the repetition options, did you save the event? The things you’re talking about, e.g. ’24th of the month’, ‘third monday’ are just examples describing how those two settings are different; it’s the same text My Calendar has used for many years for that, and is not a change. However, it sounds like you’re expecting the dates to be automatically propagated when you change the settings, since you don’t mention having saved the event.

    b) Ironically, this is the opposite problem; the new date was removed when you saved. Which is annoying, because I thought I’d fixed that problem. However, it is a problem that precedes My Calendar 3.3.0, so it would happen on the old version as well.

    i must be losing my mind but i do not see a save button!

    There’s one at both the top and the bottom of the screen, labeled ‘Update’.
