Sorry, I didn't get the message until Saturday morning. Either way, I had stuff going on Friday until 10:30 PM or so.

However, this upcoming weekend the rest of my family will be away, so it's all going to be all about Christmas! I didn't see any obvious schedule on the web site... nothing in the Calendar, Events/Gathering, etc.

Is it a set schedule every Friday night?

For the US the set schedule is 7p eastern time every Wed
For Australia it is Friday
For adhoc the zoom session is open 24/7 and other folks can often be found in there or you can schedule a time with a mentor.

7 PM Eastern doesn't work for me because... well, I'm still at work.

That time and time zone in Australia on Fridays?

The Wednesday night and Friday night calls go for a minimum 5 hours. Surely you can find 10 minutes out of your busy schedule if it is important to you.

7pm Sydney time ... finishing usually just after midnight. It can be a slow start and a quiet finish so if no one is on just hang until they are or ping the chat on Acl and invite folks to join you.

Isn’t there an option somewhere that deletes the fseq file on render(erase/canvas I think it says)?

I Googled "7pm sydney time in vancouver" and I'd rather avoid that unless I'm really desperate. Well, I'll see how late I stay up tonight, LOL!

Thanks for your help on the Zoom Meeting, Keith.

To document the solution for others to see, I've attached a screen print with my channels for each universe jogged up by 316 in FPP.
