"Generate event feed" appears to have no effect (even though it does) #222

The first screenshot is what the calendar page looks like on Safari, on my 15" 2013 MacBook Pro, in full-screen mode with tabs shown. The bottom of the screenshot is the bottom of the page (and screen).

The second screenshot is what appears when I click “Generate event feed”. The page actually does now contain “Edit feed preferences”, “Import into Outlook”, and “Import into Google Calendar”, but they are below the fold.

I thought that “Generate event feed was broken”.

Alternatives:

  1. When clicked on, the “Generate event feed” link is removed or replaced by a “Feed Settings” header. (This doesn't allow the user to generate a second feed with different settings until they refresh the page.)

  2. Same as (1), but “Generate event feed” is moved below the “Import” links, and renamed “Generate another event feed”.

  3. Clicking on “Generate event feed” displays an alert with text something like “Click on the settings beneath the "Generate event feed" button to import your calendar into Outlook or Google Calendar."
