Welcome to the guide to The Event System! 
Written by Justin.
About Events:
The Events feature of d2jsp is a feature that allows members to keep track of, and arrange, events while on the forums. It is very similar to the 'My Calendar' feature located in your Profile, only this feature can be used to schedule birthdays, anniversaries, other events that will recur every year, get-togethers, parties, etc etc. My Events can also be used to host or join services! You can also put links to your Events in your signature or profile. All events you add are converted to your timezone, and all events you view will also be adjusted automatically. You can set your timezone settings by clicking the Settings link in the top right.
Where:
To get to the start of the Events page, you must click the 'My Events' button located in the top-right of your d2jsp page.
Rules:
All of the regular d2jsp rules (except for certain trading rules) will be expected to be followed in the Events section of the forums. Failure to comply with the rules can result in punishment.
To use a MEDIATOR for any service, you will need to make an event and request through there.
And as posted above, you CAN advertise your own Events in your signatures or profiles.
If you are interested in learning more about, and about to use, the Events system, keep on reading! 
My Events
Now, I will explain each of the different parts of the
My Events page.

4 - My Subscribed Events: The 'My Subscribed Events'' section of the 'My Events' page will display all of your currently stored/running Events, as well as how many slots for members there are, being used, and remaining, the name of the Event, the date the Event is scheduled for, whether it is a private Event or not, whether it will recur yearly, and how many/what restrictions there are, as far as who can join the Event goes.

Create Event
Now, I will explain each of the different parts of the
Create Event page.
1 - Event Caption: The 'Event Caption' is basically the name of the Event.
2 - Event Description: The 'Event Description' is the description of the Event, that everyone will see inside your Event.
3 - Date: The 'Date' is the date that the Event will occur on. (Day/Month/Year/Time/Etc)
4 - Private Event: Checking the 'Private Event' box will control whether or not your Event is released to the public (as opposed to only people on your Friends List).
5 - Recurring Event: Checking the 'Recurring Event' box will control whether or not your Event will happen each year (as opposed to only one time).
6 - Allow People To Join This Event: Checking 'Allow People To Join This Event' will control whether or not other members of d2jsp will be allowed to join your Event (whether it is strictly for anyone, your friends, or your guild members).
7 - Require Approval Before Join: Checking 'Require Approval Before Join' will control whether or not the member requesting to join your Event will have to be approved by you before joining the Event or not.
8 - Max # of Attendees: The number of attendees you decide should be allowed to join your Event is the amount of people that can actually join it (the maximum amount is 100 people).
9 - PM Reminders: Checking any of these 4 boxes will decide how many days before (or during) the Event will you receive a Private Message reminding you about your Event (that it is going to begin/happen).
10 - Add New Event: This is the button that will add your Event to the 'All Events' list, upon being clicked. Once you have clicked 'Add New Event', your Event will be displayed here:
http://forums.d2jsp.org/events.php?a=211 - Search: The 'Search' bar is where you can type in a word or phrase, and upon clicking the 'Search' button, you will be brought to a list of Events that have anything to do with the word or phrase you searched.

6 - Members (#/#): An Event's number of members out of the number of possible members is a fraction that tells you how many members have already joined the Event, and how many more members can join the Event.
7 - Event Creator: An Event's 'Creator' is the person who created the Event.
8 - Event Restrictions: An Event's 'Restrictions' tell you which groups of people can and/or cannot join the Event.

12 - Comments: Inside the 'Comments' box, you will see how many Comments have been posted for this Event, as well as whether or not you must be a member of the Event to post Comments (click the 'Join Event' button (see '11 - Join Event') to join the Event so that you can post Comments in it).

Once you have joined the Event, you will be directed to a confirmation page where you will be able to choose if you wish to receive a Private Message notification at various intervals for the event. (
One Week Before /
3 Days Before /
1 Day Before /
The Day Of). After picking which intervals you would like to be receive a PM for, you are ready to click the 'Sign Up' button, located right below the notification selection part of the confirmation page (you won't be able to miss it
). If you request to join an Event that requires approval before getting into the Event, you have the option to remove your join request from the list of people waiting for approval to join the Event.
If you decide you would like to
leave an Event you are currently subscribed to, you simply go to your 'My Events' page, then select, under the 'My Subscribed Events' section, the Event you would like to leave, and click '
Leave Event'. Here, you can also update your PM notification wishes, as well as add Comments.
