Yes. Membership in www.eventspot.net is free of charge for everyone.

An event is a container for media. It may represent a real life event, such as party, trip or a concert, or it may simply be a gallery with movies, photos and audios. Each event must belong to a category.

Every user of EventSpot.net may create an event. You must be logged in to create new events.

Public event is available to anyone. It may even be viewed by people who do not have an EventSpot account. Public events represent galleries that should be publicly available, such as photos taken at a concert. Any EventSpot user may add their content to any public event.
Private event is an event available only to people who have been explicitly invited to it. Private events should be created when you want to share your private photos or movies with chosen friends only. Private events may be visible or invisible. Visible private events titles are shown in the search results, but people who were not invited to them cannot access their content. Invisible private events are invisible in the whole system and only people invited to them may see and access them.

Event (gallery) may contain movies, photos and audio files. You can select files of different types at once, which makes the upload process really easy.

Every logged in user may upload content to public events. This is in line with the purpose of creating public events. Their content may be added to by multiple users who may have been at the same concert, match etc

You may invite your friends, users who are not your friends yet or people who do not have an EventSpot account yet. However, in order to get access to a private event, each invited user or person must agree to become the inviter's friend.

You can upload as many files as you wish to any event.

Every logged in user may remove content that he/she has added to the particular event. The event's creator may remove any media stored in an event. In case of private events, only people invited with "add media" or "add media and invite" privilege may remove their own content.

Privileges apply to private events only!
- view media privilege - With view media privilege you can view all movies, photos and audio files from particular event
- add media privilege - With add media privilege you can view all existing movies, photos and audio files from particular event. You may also add your own media to this event
- add media and invite privilege - With add media and invite privilege you can view all existing movies, photos and audio files from particular event. You may also add your own media to this event. Additionally you may invite others to this event

Yes. Privileges are defined independently for each invited user. If you don't want to set the privileges for every user, you can use the default setting which is "view media" privilege.

Yes, you can change the privileges at any time. Just click the "Edit privileges..." link on the event's page.

Yes, you may remove any user who has been invited to your private event.

By default only the event's creator is able to invite users to a private event. However, if he/she invites any users with "add media and invite" privilege, those users also become capable of inviting other to this event. Please decide carefully if you really want to grant someone the "add media and invite" privilege!

No, they cannot, unless you explicitly invite them.

The 'visible' property of a private event indicates whether the event's title is visible in the portal. If it is set to true, users may see the event's title in the search results, on your profile page and on their main page, in the section "Events created by my friends". Users, who were not invited to this event, will still not be able to access this event's content.

Yes. If the event's creator is your friend and a private event is set to be visible, you may click on its title to ask event's creator for a privilege to this event. The event's creator may either accept or reject your privilege request.

Yes, but they will have to agree to become your friends before they can access the event.

Yes. One of the cool features of EventSpot is that you can invite to your private events people who do not have an EventSpot account yet. They will receive an email with an invitation and when they activate their account, they will become your friends automatically. Since then they will be able to access your private event with the privilege level that you had defined for them.

Invitation to friends is just an invitation to the user, who is not your friend yet, to become your friend. This person may either accept or reject this invitation. Invitation to event and friends is an invitation to the private event sent to the user who is not your friend yet. This invitation may be accepted or rejected by its recipient. In case of rejection, the recipient does not become your friend and is not granted with any privileges to the event!

If you are inviter's friend, an invitation to a private event is displayed for your information only, so that you know you have been granted with privileges to this event. You cannot reject it, nor accept it.
If you and the inviter are not friends yet, you may reject the invitation to event. By doing so, you do not become the inviter's friend and you are not granted with any privileges to the event.

To add a user to your friends, go to the "Users" screen. Search for a person who you would like to invite or just find this person in the list below. Then go to this person's profile by clicking on their profile picture. In the menu on the left, you will see an "Invite to friends" option.

You may send messages to any EventSpot user. You don't have to be their friend.

Yes. You may send messages to multiple users at once. To do so, go to your friends list, click "Compose message" and choose message recipients from the list.
