Bug Squashing Update

Thanks to everyone who contributed bug reports and feedback. We pushed a batch of bug fixes live last night - here's the breakdown of what has changed:

• Date and time handling is now much improved.
  • Strong date checking now ensures that dates are valid.
  • End date is now completely optional.
  • End date cannot preceed start date.
  • Date selection mini-calendars much improved.
  • Up and down arrow keys (or +/-) can be used to change date/time elements.
  • End time now automatically tracks start time. In other words, if you change the start time, the end time automatically tracks the change, keeping the same duration.
  • Multi-Day events now work correctly.
• Events can now be withdrawn. See the FAQ for why withdrawing an event is even better than deleting it.
• You can now create calendars with apostrophes in the titles.
• Adding an event to a calendar from search results no longer dumps you to a page saying "No search keywords".
• Clicking a username link no longer causes a 404. Instead it sends you to a rudimentary user detail page that is so lame it's not much better. But it will be awesome.
• Upon completion of registration, you are now automatically logged in, instead of being dumped into the login page with no notice.
• Added the rel="nofollow" parameter to user-contributed links to help limit comment spam.
• When adding an event, multi word tags ("San Diego") now work correctly.
• Numerous small changes, and formatting fixes that don't rise to the level of mention.
