Deadline: Fixes and tips

04 Dec 2008 | By Alex Young | Tags deadline tips

This week we’ve made the following fixes to Deadline:

  • Google Calendar will now show text instead of just “busy”
  • Time zone bugs have been resolved (sometimes typing “tonight” resulted in a date for tomorrow)
  • Internet Explorer 6 and Chrome support improved
  • Selecting “-——” as a date in the full date entry form returned XML instead of a friendly error

If Google Calendar still says busy for all of your Deadline events:

  1. Remove the calendar
  2. Go to Deadline and copy the link to the iCal feed from the Settings page
  3. Paste in the calendar link, but add “?999” to the end of the link

The reason you need to add ?999 is a random number will fool Google into thinking it’s a different URL and thus download the new version instead of using a cached copy.

Your URL should look something like this:
