Hi @aDaxxas, your request came in over the weekend, improving the documentation is on my list for early this week.

In short, you need to include the calendar BBCode in seperate lines in the topic:

```plaintext
[calendar]
[/calendar]

```

Then, in subsequent replies use the Insert Date function from the composer options menu to insert a single date or date range. For example,

```plaintext
[date=2018-12-20 timezone="America/Boise"] → [date=2018-12-21 timezone="America/Boise"]

```

Once the reply is submitted, the date range should be added to the calendar in the OP. Once the event is over the post containing the dates will be automatically deleted.
