Need feedback on a calendar I made.

I like the look of the calendar itself, and that it fills my screen instead of being fixed width. I didn't really like the quick view thing. I had just clicked on an event and wanted to see a description of that event right off. Instead some weird interface pops up with buttons that have nothing to do with what I want. The description I was interested in is buried down at the bottom right where I looked last. One thing that makes it less intuitive to me is that some of the things that look more like links than buttons aren't underlined and it took me a few seconds to realize they are clickable. Links that aren't underlined are considered very poor usability on the web.
 
Thanks for your comments.

How do you think the information should be displayed?

You're right about the links, they should be underlined.
 
You should have the details of an entry appear in the same page as the calender itself, or maybe in a popup, but that might be disabled by blockers. It would be better not to click back every time.

Otherwise very clean and nice.


 
It would be nice to see maybe the time scheduled when you roll over something, then click to get more details. If I were using the calender the thing I would check most is the time and it'd be nice to not have to leave the calender if I don't want or need more details. But that's just a picky suggestion, still a great thing you have going here!

I'm not sure what you mean. On this link there is a date and time: http://castleview.org/outsiders/calendar/quickview.cfm?id=15

No no - when you click on the quick view link from the main calendar, all you get is a list of events, but no notion of how they're ordered or when they are until you actually click on them.
