See this post for what the floating feedback looks like. This is in Chrome.

You might try using incognito mode to see if that fixes it.

Any timing on when the sync functionality will return? It sure would be nice to see church activities on my Google calendar again.

There is no timeline when any of the features return. However, I suspect it was one of the least used and probably will return last after all the admin functions are done.

It comes and goes. Sometimes it is on the right side. Sometimes it is at the bottom center. Today it is on the bottom about two-thirds of the way toward the right and is much smaller than usual. Sometimes it does not appear at all.

When it does deign to present itself, it appears as shown in the post to which russellhltn linked immediately following your post.

My results come from Firefox. Variety is the spice of life.

I have already reported this via the Feedback button, but thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else has the same issue. Maybe until they get this fixed, we shouldn't check the email reminder feature!

I have a Stake Youth Leadership Meeting scheduled for tomorrow night, Sunday December 11, 2022 at 7 pm. The feature to send an email reminder was checked, so the email reminder was sent out tonight. This is what was in the email reminder. Do you see what I see?


The following calendar event is scheduled:

Calendar name: Stake Youth Leadership Meetings or Calls
Event name: SYLC Mtg @ SC or via Zoom
Event description: SYLC (Stake Youth Leadership Committee) Meeting will be held from 7-8pm in person at the Stake Center or via Zoom

Event date: Dec 12, 2022
Event time: 1:00 AM

You received this email from your ward or stake calendar. To change your email, visit your Church Account contact Settings page. To manage your calendar reminders, visit your Choose Calendars page.


So the body of the email reminder doesn't show the date, but it shows "from 7-8pm"
Then below that, it shows
Event date: Dec 12, 2022
Event time: 1:00 AM

Which is the next day and at 1 AM. Apparently that is Greenwich Mean Time, and the software is taking the actual scheduled time and changing it to GMT for the email reminders?

I never tick the box anyway so not an issue for events I put in the calendar, but yes, definitely a bug that needs squashing.

This bug was reported a few weeks ago. In order to handle wards using different time zone but meeting in the same building, all information is stored as GMT. The email reminder is failing to apply the proper adjustment.

Please don't say that. I'm lost without it!

The latest changes in the look and feel of the monthly view are a huge improvement. Being able to see all the events each day and being able to add an event by clicking on the day - massive improvements in usability.
Thank you all who are working on this. Hopefully the weekly view will have a similar revamp shortly.

My top 2 priorities now are:
Being able sync with my iPhone like before so the church calendar is integrated with my personal and work calendars.
Being able to start the week on Mondays. Having Sunday on the left is so confusing!
