If you setup a repeating event that starts in a
particular month, then go to browse events, and select
the following months, the event doesnt show up. This
happens w/ or w/o a closedate set.

    For example when you're browsing events from October 2005,
    it shows only events which starting month is october 2005.
    Its meant to be like that.

    I dont think it should be that way... as an admin, if you
    are browsing events in the following months, there is the
    potential to schedule an event at the same time an event is
    already scheduled. Also, if you dont schedule an event (or
    start a recurring one) in the following month, it appears
    that there would be no events (unless you look at the
    calendar view).

    Another scenario is what if you want to cancel all of the
    recurring events for a particular month? This cant be done
    in the browse view, only the calendar view.

    It only makes sense to show the same events in the browse
    view as you do the calendar view when logged on as admin.

    I think whole Browse events action is kinda useless. What do
    you thing if I'd remove it completely, since all same
    actions can be done more easily from calendar view.

    I just have to think how to design new feature that you can
    delete multiple events by one click, adding checkbox after
    every single event seems to make calendar view too
    "complicated" to watch.

    Any ideas?

    I like the look of the "browse view", but you are right, it
    doesnt add anything extra, so removing it would probably be
    a good idea.

    I think the delete functionality is fine the way it is. I
    have no problem with the javascript confirm. One thing you
    could do is have a preference option to turn delete
    confirmations on/off, and then you would have one click
    deletes which would speed things up.
