[EventCalendar] re: Date Input Inteface re: Event Calendar 3.1 Beta

[Rusty Smith]

Sorry Alex - I originally attached a screen shot so that you could  
see what I see, but it was too big to be accepted by the group server.
Here is the text from that  original message:

Attached is a screen shot of what I see in the "Write Page" window.

 >screen shot deleted<

This shows up like this whether the event category is selected or  
not. Is this correct? I think that the "Start, End, Year Month, Day,  
etc." headings also need to be hidden until the "+" button is  
pressed. This is in response to the first user that I showed it to  
and he experienced some confusion between the Schedule Editor for  
Event Calendar and the Post Time Stamp Configuration for regular posts.

This is in both Firefox and Safari, WordPress version 2.02

As you can see from the screen shotthat seems like an easy fix to me  
- you simply have to provide a free high-res monitor with every  
download of Event Calendar! ;-)
