    Sorry if this is a duplicate of a comment in another thread… Prior thread was marked as [resolved], so wasn’t sure if my follow-on comment would be followed-up/addressed there or not.

    Any chance the minor improvements previously mentioned might also be made, if not already?

    That is, disentangling “Free”/”Paid” events from “on-site”/”off-site” ticketing? The metaphors seemed to be erroneously mixed…

    One can have “free events” with off-site ticketing, or paid events with on-website ticketing (or no ticketing).

    Seems to me that these options should not be entangled. They should be separate sections within the cost / ticketing page.

    That is, one radio button for “free”/”paid” (“paid” as default? Or option to set a default somewhere in settings) and one radio button for “on-site ticketing” (or no ticketing) vs. “off-site ticketing.”

    If “free” is selected, then the “cost” box would go away; if “paid” is selected, then the “cost” box would appear. If “Off-Site Ticketing URL” is selected, then the URL box shows up; if not, then not.

    If we could get these disentangled, that’d be nice.

    Though, even with “free” events, it might be nice to still have the option of specifying “registration required,” possibly with some details, if there are limited seats, as is often the case for small trainings, dinners, etc. So, maybe 3 radio buttons Free/Paid, registration required/not required, ticketing none/on-website/off-website (or does AI1EC offer its own ticketing options; can’t recall if there’s a plugin for that; if not, then maybe on-site ticketing would be superfluous and you’d just have none/”off-site ticketing”)?

    Appreciate it. ??

    Little confusing where stuff goes these days. There was the old time.ly support forum, but then that seems to have gotten DC’d in favor of the wordpress forum a few months ago, but now there seems to also be ideas.time.ly, separate from either of the two aforementioned. ??

    MGmirkin, these changes are meant to help us manage our customers easier and faster with the same team size.

    WordPress support forum – any troubleshooting and issues. But this is very limited.
    ideas.time.ly – for feature requests as we can track the number of users asking for it and automatically update them on progress
    Also, when we discover bugs that multiple user have opened threads for on support forum, we create ourselves a bug on ideas.time.ly to people can vote and subscribe for update. Updated is critical for us so you guys get the fix ASAP.
    Time.ly forum we ditched as it was just too overwhelming for just one support person.
