We realize that SwankyAnts is a different way of searching for events so you might need some help using the site.  You have come to the right place!  Here are some things to watch for as you enter and search for events.  If you can't find what you are looking for on this page then try our support group where you can find answers or post questions. You can also visit our official blog for the latest news about SwankyAnts!

Searching Events

Event not displaying when I know one exists:  Of course, if an event has not been created in SwankyAnts it will not display but if you are sure the event exists then make sure you adjust the date slider (just above the map) to include the date of your event.  You also need to make sure that you are zoomed out enough that the event location will show up on the map.  If you are zoomed into Australia and you are looking for events in Canada you won't find them!

Find tool does not find anything:  Make sure your map is zoomed out enough.  SwankyAnts will only search results that are displayed on the map.

Inappropriate event or language in event:  Click Full Details of the offending event and under Options (toward the bottom of the page) click Inappropriate content.   The event will be reported to our SwankyAnts administrator and removed.

Enter Events

How do I register so I can enter events?  You do not have to register to enter events.  We ask for an email address and password when you enter your first event.  You can use your email/password combination to enter more events.  It's simple!  Keep in mind that we only use your email to administer your event listings.  We do not sell emails (see our privacy policy for more information).

I know where an event is but I do not know the address:  You do not have to know the event address.  Enter the name of the town or city along with the state or province; the locate map should at least get you close to where you need to be.  You can drag the event balloon to the correct location.

Email address is required to enter an event:  We need some way of keeping track of events so that you can edit or delete them later.  We do not use your email for anything other than to administer events on SwankyAnts.  Check out our privacy policy for more information.

View all my events:  Click full details of an event you have previously entered.  Under Options (toward the bottom of the listing) click View all events from this member.  

Enter more than one event:  If you have already entered an event you can enter more!  Use the same email and password that you used for your first event.  Make sure you click Existing member before you enter your email and password to create your new event.

No category for my event:  Send us a request to have a new category added to SwankyAnts.  If enough fellow SwankyAnters want the new category we will add it.  Send us an email at info[at]swankyants.com.

Edit Events

Change my event details:   View the details of your event then click Edit Event (at the bottom of your event listing).  Make the changes to your event.  Save your changes by entering your member information (remember it's your email address and password).

Change the location (balloon) of my event:  View the details of your event then click Edit Event (at the bottom of your event listing).  Click on Map Your Event then enter your new address or drag the balloon to the new location.  Click Confirm.  Save your changes by entering your member information (remember it's your email address and password).
