Hello, friends.

Today, GAMER.ru rolled out another update to its functionality, aimed at making life easier for all of us and bringing a ton of joy.

First, drafts are now working. Imagine you’re writing an epic post, and suddenly your beloved grandma calls from her dacha, saying she forgot to turn off the iron.

You drop everything and run to save the iron from firefighters, leaving your post unsaved, lonely, and defenseless... This will no longer happen! When creating a post, you can save it as a draft and revise it later. What’s more, you can edit (finish, polish, perfect...) the draft as many times as you want, so you will stop wasting precious energy on editing, and the eyes of other gamers will be saved from the heartbreaking sight known as 'a poorly formatted, error-ridden post'.

All your drafts will be available in your personal profile, just two clicks away from the main page.

Secondly, we have a events calendar, which clearly shows what’s happening on the portal at the moment. A mini-version of the calendar looks at you from the left block and displays the current political situation week and today’s events.

The full version of the calendar can be found in your personal profile: it’s there that you can view all upcoming and past events, as well as create your own events and invite friends to participate.

To avoid confusion with days, we’ve color-coded the calendar. The regular cream color of the background signals that nothing is planned for that date; the blue color indicates that something is indeed planned; the green color marks the current date; finally, the orange color highlights the day whose events you are currently viewing.

There are four types of events:

Personal

These events are visible only to you and the friends you invited to participate. If you want to organize a secret meeting of your Masonic lodge and fear of overbookings – create personal events.

User Events

Events that are displayed in your calendar and visible to anyone who dares to peek into your profile. The most correct option if you want to gather a large crowd.

Company Events

These differ from user events only in that they are created by companies. For instance, a company may invite you to the premiere of a long-awaited game or draw your attention to some other event. Company events can be highlighted with a colored icon at the discretion of the community managers.

Global Events

The most interesting events in the life of GAMER.ru, such as contests with great prizes, generosity attractions, and festivals. These events can only be created by the portal administration and are automatically added to the calendars of all users. We promise not to abuse your attention.

After someone invites you to participate in an event, you will receive a notification about it through the private message system. To participate in the event, you must go to its description and click the 'accept invitation' button. After this, the event record will appear in your calendar. If you’re not interested in participating in the event, just delete the invitation.

Events created by you can be deleted and edited. Events from users you monitor automatically appear in your calendar. The rest of the calendar’s functionality is quite simple; you should be able to figure it out without my hints.

I sincerely hope that these updates will make your life easier and make your experience on the portal even more enjoyable and interesting.
