Adding upper limit to Recurring Events Date and Cleaning up calendar

eric@banjohangout.org — Thu, 28 May 2026 10:54:47 CST

TL;DR The recurring events part on the creating a new event page does not have a reasonable upper limit, which is potential for abuse or accidents. It's more important to fix the upper limit, and later take care of removing the events that go up weekly and monthly to the years 2099 and 2476.

I was curious what events were posted, and it seemed like all of the states, provinces, and territories were barren except for Texas and Missouri. I took the liberty of adding events that I know are active in the state of Kentucky. Hope this doesn't turn out to be a tedious fix, It may help towards having a more active calendar page.

A part of me liked seeing the 9200+ events, but seeing that over 99% of the events are from two clubs that are planned out unnecessarily over decades/centuries made me want something more contained. Other hangout members who give a carp, let me know if this is more a non-issue or what a good limit would be. I'm sure it could be done dynamically and be based on the current day, but that'd be another possibly unnecessary level of complexity.

Calendar by date, all states?

Is there a way to see ALL the shows coming up by DATE in ALL the states rather than needing to click on each state?

A way is needed to block AD s by User ID ...please!

I can't begin to tell you how many good deals were missed, because of a flood of certain couple of people who post repetitive ads of various flavors of their wares.

This is why I haven't re-upped my annual subscription, and won't until the spam ads get fixed. Endlessly scrolling to bypass said postings is a surefire way to annoy folks. I am sure I'm not the only one.

European Union (EU) in searching the classifieds via country

Dear BHO,
I don't know whether this has already been dealt with in this forum, but don't you think, you could add the EU as country in the search function?
As trade within the EU is just as easy as inside one the member states, this would make searching for banjos way faster than entering all the single countries one after another.
Thanks for your work and greetings from Germany
