Past events on forums

[Gixer]

Was looking at the "meetings" and events sections on here and got all excited about some of the post titles like the big London meet at Speaker's corner...then I realised they were all last year - booooo!  Is there any way of marking events that are "in the past" so that I know not to get excited about them?  I'm not saying lock them or anything cos people still like to post on them about what it was like or to put photos up etc, but to mark an event as "done" so we can easily spot the "past" and "future" events?

To be honest, it could be done but it would take a long time to do it as each post would have to be done individually by admin or mods unless the original posters did that.

The best thing to do is read the first post as that should tell you straightaway when is it etc.

This is also the reason why its important for people to correctly label/ put date & location in the title but its not always done

I think that you could ask the original posters to change the title afterwards. It wouldn't be hard and they could add a note on how it went 
Just adding " MEET FINISHED " would mean you could still add post on what happened but poeple wouldn't like Gixer open the topic to find it over.
Putting the date on the topic title may help but if the titles long this may be missing when is shown on forum page !?
The Calendar useful if poeple used it

But what if someone adds to it like a picture 

[hybrid_hex]

THen it would be done soon after the event, not before! so If you see pics, its a sure fire bet that its over!! (how else would you get the pics??)

It could show where to meet and show the poster bocking at that site !?
