Good Afternoon,
My calendar has gone blank starting April 4th 2012 through the end of the month, and then again in April. Before that the calendar is normal and very busy. Any thought's on how to get the calendar back. I checked with another ward member and their calendar shows a ton of events for those months.

I am subscribed to every calendar & Location.
I tried to enter an event and it accepts the "test" event, but it disappears when the calendar view returns.
I am the ward clerk and have the proper permissions.

I have attached a screen shot of what I see on my calendar.

Thank you in advance

Seems to be a display issue that crops up in certain conditions depending on the data. Start unchecking the calendars and I think you'll find that it returns.

Calendar Works now

Thank you for your replies. I unchecked one and everything came back (except the items on that one calendar). Unfortunately, that ONE calendar is really important. I would really like to see the events under that calendar.

Any thoughts?
Thank you

Also, when the "Bishopric" calendar is rechecked, I lose all of the events again. The thread mentioned above makes me think this is being addressed as a bug. I can't figure out why it is only specific months and only the bishopric calendar. Thanks

Try unchecking some of the other calendars. It might be a combination issue. You can also try week view.

I couldn't see a pattern to it either. It may have dependencies that are not obvious.

No luck here. I am trying to delete the last event under "Bishopric" that may be causing a hangup but the system freezes on me the minute I try to delete the event. It is a recurring event and I am only deleting that particular day. I will try to delete the entire series (since I am the one that created it to begin with!) :)

I'll keep playing with it to see if I can get it to break. Thanks

Figured out MY problem with the disappearing content

My problem was with the ability to set Monday as the first day of the week under SETTINGS - OPTIONS.

Verified that when I removed the "Make Monday the first day of the week" the problem cleared up. Reselected that option and went back to my calendar, and it disappeared again. I am able to duplicate this problem over and over.

I don't know if others are having the same kind of problem, but this worked for me. Guess I shouldn't be so weird and keep Sunday as the 1st day of week huh? :confused:

I thought I started a thread for this problem of Monday as the first day of the week. I figure someone has seen it. As of this moment it is still a problem.

Blank Calender - April 2012 . . . why oh, why is this happening?

I cannot determine what to change (selecting or de-selecting calenders, etc.) based on this post.

I have submitted this multiple times via the Feedback site. What now? Not to be overly negative, but this issue is extremely frustrating.
We are in the midst of rolling out the calender in our stake and members are constantly calling and asking me why this doesn't work.
Any help is extremely appreciated.

I'm not sure what you are saying. If on the main page you start de-selecting various calendars, you may find at some point it starts to work. It's some kind of bug where certain combinations of things cause it to go blank. You'll just have to experiment to find out what combinations work.

I think I found the issue. It appears to be related "Monday as the first day of the week" option. If this is selected - then April is blank.

Since Europe uses Monday as the first day of the week - I receive several emails per week with the Question --- why can't I see the calender?

******** My latest Suggestion to LDS.org *******
Our stake (I am stake executive secretary) is trying to implement the calender stake-wide. Other stakes are doing the same thing. This is a great hurdle for us at this time. Any attention that can be given to the problem is greatly appreciated.

gswheel and jonejam2 I'd like to try and track this problem down and find a permanent solution. Could each of you go to www.lds.org/header, log in when prompted then copy the contents of the information on that screen and send it to me in a private message here on the forum?
