I was thinking about this last night and was wondering, if when you choose "new post" woudl it be posisble to create a new form for the gigs forum.

This one could contain:

Date

City [drop down menu with say Dundee, Aberdeen, Perth, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Other] when you choose other you can fill in name in a text field and its added to this data base list for future entries.

venue [checks the city to display list i.e. Beat Bar, West Port other etc]

Bands

Price

time start

time end

then have:

thread title

thread body

---------------------
when you submit it can then add a new thread in gigs forum and also into the calender as a new event.

If this was possible using the "time end" it could be adapted further to close the thread at this time and open a new thread in battle scars. Wether this would need a bot or vbuletin can do it itself is another matter.

This may be slightly far fetched/complicated but if its possible there may be the forms out there on a dev forum that can be adapted.
