When a friend invites you to an event, a small red flag appears over the notifications icon in the big blue bar on top. Click the icon to open your notifications menu; then click the invitation to be taken to the event.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">The event photo appears at the top of the page, much like the cover photo does on your Timeline. Beneath the event photo is the event's name, host (which can be a person, group, or page), and privacy info.</p> <img alt="image0.jpg" height="393" src="http://media.wiley.com/Lux/44/390244.image0.jpg" style="vertical-align:bottom;margin:0px;padding:0px;border-width:0px;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;min-height:auto!important" width="535"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"></span><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> Events have three privacy settings:</p><ul style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px"> <b>Public: </b>Public events are just what they sound like: open to the public. Anyone can see the event with or without an invitation, view the guest list and posts, and join the event herself.</p></li><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px"> <b>Friends of Guests: </b>Events with this privacy setting are slightly more private than Public events. Any friends of guests — whether or not they received an invitation — can view and join the event.</p></li><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px"> <b>Invite Only:</b> These are the most private events. Only people who have been invited are able to see the event and join it.</p></li></ul><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> The left side of the event page shows the progress of the RSVPs. Three categories are shown (although this may depend on the settings of the event, as decided by the event admin): Going, Maybe, and Invited.</p><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> The most important info about any event is in the center of the page: where, when, and what. There's a spot here for the date and time of the event, the location, and any info the event creator wants to share with guests. If the creator put in a specific address or location, a map may also appear so that you can easily get directions.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Below the event info is the Posts section of the event. The Posts section is where people can post messages and communicate with other guests (and potential guests) of that event. Event hosts use this section to post important updates — for example, a reminder to bring a sweater in case the weather is cold, or to let people know at which section of the park they'll be meeting.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Guests' RSVPs appear here as they come in, as do posts that people actively make to communicate with other guests. Depending on the event, the posts may be from people just saying how excited they are or from people coordinating rides or the food they'll bring to a potluck.</p> <img alt="image1.jpg" height="368" src="http://media.wiley.com/Lux/45/390245.image1.jpg" style="vertical-align:bottom;margin:0px;padding:0px;border-width:0px;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;min-height:auto!important" width="535"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"></span><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> To post to an event, follow these steps:</p><ol style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px"> Click in the Share box (where it reads Write Something).</p><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px">This is the same way you update your status or post to group.</p> </li><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px">Type your message in the Share box.</p></li><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px"> (Optional) Add tags, location information, or photos by clicking their respective icons at the bottom of the Share box.</p></li><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px"> Click Post.</p><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px">Your message is posted to the Posts section of the event.

Seeing all the declines in the Posts section can be a bit of a bummer, which is why Facebook sequesters them away from the more inviting and excited posts.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">You actually can't post to an event until you've RSVPed. So make up your mind, and then you can start talking to the other guests.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Responding to an event is easy; just click the blue Join button if you plan on attending, the Decline button if you can't make it, or the Maybe button if you aren't sure.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">After you RSVP to an event, the RSVP buttons are replaced with the following new buttons:</p> <ul style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px"> <b>Invite Friends: </b>If you want some company at an event or know of someone who would really be interested, click this button to send him an invitation. (Some Invite Only events may not allow you to invite more friends.)</p> </li><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px"><b>RSVP status: </b>If, for example, you join an event by clicking the blue Join button, it will be replaced by a gray button named Going. Click this button to change your RSVP at any time.</p> </li><li><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;line-height:24px"><b>Settings (gear icon): </b>Click the gear icon to turn off event notifications, to share an event on your Timeline, or to export an event to your calendar or e-mail.</p> </li></ul>

The Posts section is where people can post messages and communicate with other guests (and potential guests) of that event. Event hosts use this section to post important updates — for example, a reminder to bring a sweater in case the weather is cold, or to let people know at which section of the park they'll be meeting.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Guests' RSVPs appear here as they come in, as do posts that people actively make to communicate with other guests.

Seeing all the declines in the Posts section can be a bit of a bummer, which is why Facebook sequesters them away from the more inviting and excited posts.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">You actually can't post to an event until you've RSVPed.
