The post says 7:30-8:30. The flyer says 8:30 to 9:30. I'm in! Just let me know the correct start time.

Corrected. Probably a timezone error on the computer used to post this event. I have sent a PM to the originator.

At one point we (Moderator and Admin) had a discussion about breaking out the stocks* as a form of punishment.

Ahem....that is  211,000, not 211 million. 

As Admin, I will chastise the Moderator for making such a blunder. I have edited the Moderator's comment to correctly indicate 211,000, as opposed to the 211 million that he reported. Shame on him, and thank you for catching his blunder!!

I make the same request of you that I made of MBA2wikde: send a PM with a phone number and we will help diagnose the problem.

Before posting these kinds of documents they are fully tested using different browsers and different machines, etc. Obviously something is broken, but we have no way of knowing without diagnosing it.

VPanama's issued has now been resolved.

Can't open the PDF for save your brain' help please

Margo

Can you send me a PM (private message) with a phone number, and I will call to help diagnose the problem. We've received several comments thanking us for posting the presentation materials, so it is reasonable to say that there is nothing wrong with the PDF itself, which leaves only a couple of options. We are willing to help, but it would be best to handle via telephone.

To send us a PM, click on @Admin_01 and then click on the message icon (it looks like an envelope).

So is the food free? And where? Seasons restaurant in Boquete or where the map points too? I love Indian food but I think this needs a reload.

The map information is provided by Google Maps based on information provided by the person posting the information. I have poked around trying to find a better description for the Lucero residential community. What now displays was the closest I could get to the actual location.

I will share this information with Hanna. Basically country = Panama, state/province = Chiriqui, city/region = Caldera. When I put in Boquete or Lucero to try to narrow down the map then Google Maps gets confused and it shows extraneous geographic data. I guess that means that Google Maps needs a bit more education. 

Lin, 

If you need help, just let us know, with either your time zone or how to post calendar events (or other CL stuff for that matter). We are here to help you.

Another mis-configured computer. Rest assured that the information being published by CL is correct. The start time for this event is 7:45AM.

The reason you are seeing an hour earlier is that the time zone for your computer is configured for something other than GMT-5 (aka Bogota or Colombia time). The browser software works such that if your computer tells the software that you are actually located in a time zone other than GMT-5, then the software adjusts your display to your local time.

This actually is an important and valued feature, not a fault. Consider, if you will, that a global corporation is trying to schedule a worldwide teleconference or webinar, then you would want to see the time that the event actually occurs where you are located. Otherwise you would miss the event. The time adjustments can actually change the date as well.  Something happening in Estonia at 4:00AM would, for someone in Panama, show a start time in the evening hours of the day prior.

Bottom line here is to go into your control panel and configure your computer's time zone for Panama (assuming that you are located in Panama). My guess is that your computer currently is configured for GMT-6.

P.S., actually I am the one who corrected your posting, otherwise people would have appeared too late to join in the event.

Does this event start at three (as stated on the calendar) or at 5 (as stated on the flyer)?

The calendar here on CL properly displays that the event starts at 5:00PM, which is also the time showing at the bottom of the flyer.

If you are seeing 3:00PM, then it is a clear indication that your computer (or whatever device you are viewing this website on) is incorrectly configured for its time zone. This issue comes up infrequently, but without fail, it is always because the viewing computer is incorrectly configured. Please check your computer to be sure that it is configured for GMT-5 (or Bogota or Colombia) time zone.
