As beautiful as the new events layout is, I wondered if there is a good way to distinguish when events are multi-day.... Right now, the big Month and Day square is the start date... and whilst I appreciate the full start / end details are also shown in small text, a user can easily get the wrong impression that there were no events between that one and the next shown.
If you check my site URL I've given here you'll see what I mean. I have an April 1st to April 30th event which shows up with a big APR 1. Then the next event shown is APR 21. I totally understand why all the APR 1 - YESTERDAY single-day events don't show up... but because the APR 1 multi-day event is there it can make people think 'nothing happened' in the subsequent dates.
SOLUTION: You expert designers will know best. At first I thought another date block for the end date of multi-date events but not sure if there is room for that on small screen views.. so thinking about it, just the word 'Ongoing' appear under the APR 1 IF the event has started but not yet finished? I think that would work.
I haven't put this on VOICES because it's really such a tiny little thing which hopefully would be instantly accepted as a quick user experience improvement?.. but if I'm underestimating what's involved here let me know and I'll add to VOICES.
Thanks
