[EventCalendar] Conflict with WP-Sticky

[Cris McConkey]

Mathias,

Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.

Your hack seems to work.  However, it seems that the date entry field  
may be a wee bit temperamental.   Time will tell.  I will advise  
users to make sure to double check their event date and time entries.

Hopefully, this problem will be addressed in the next stable release  
of Event Calendar.

I am not versed in PHP programming.   I question how much PHP I might  
eventually pick up by osmosis.  CSS is enough of a challenge for me  
at the moment.

Be that as it may, I am very appreciative of the community of  
developers who contribute to Word Press and its plug-ins and the help  
I have been afforded.
