You can now add more than one reminder to each event and specify per event what kind of reminder (sms, email, popup). Even better, you can now add reminders to non-primary calendars. Also the actual calendar area seems somewhat bigger.

i have never ever got a pop-up, even tho it's enabled.
and..
i get reminders for things i enter via email..but not for things like, say, sporting events. tonights giants game, for example. is that the way its supposed to work?

I think that, in order to get a pop-up, you have to have the calendar website opened up. I don't understand your second point; are those sporting events on your primary calendar or on a shared one? If the later is the case, it was not possible until now to get notifications for those events. To get notifications, go to the event details and add a reminder (in the expandable options section at the right side.)

Are you sure this feature is rolled out for everyone? I don't have this feature. I am in Germany but with english Calendar and Firefox 2.0.0.3.

A screenshot would be very nice!

I've no idea if this has been rolled out for everyone, I just know it has for me:

I don't have this for the moment :-/

I added an event to my calendar and cant find this feature. (yet!!)

Sander, but the screen shoot seems valid and and what does "notifications for secondary calendar" mean /do

The sporting events are on my calender, non-shared, the only one I have.
Where are event details located? I can't seem to locate where you mean, DOH.

I am still stuck on notifications for primary calendar only. Sigh...why are things always rolled out to me last. Also, isn't it about time they throw in a todo list?! Strikes me as mind boggling that they could invest so much in a calendar system and completely ignore such an important feature.

You've always being able to change the calendar for a certain event however i'm unable to replicate the multiple reminders feature.

Now (06:47 am in Germany) i have this new feature too. But i can't select the SMS option. But SMS services isn't rolled out in Germany i think.

Nice thing!

Whilst the functionality is good, I now can't find anywhere to set reminder defaults like there used to be, so I have to click "remove" three times to get rid of the reminders.

I also just created an event and had to wait a while before I could edit it again because it was apparently "still saving changes" and therefore hid the edit link...

Tony: The default settings for reminders are located in the settings page of each calendar.

Yes Tony,

Click the the arrow by each calendar over on the left side and click on notifications, and you can set the defaults for that calendar.

Argh... they moved it! It used to be just under Settings and then Notifications. What's more, I just started to hunt for it where Sander and Dave B suggested and *then* realised I don't have this new notification feature any more.

I wonder if this is activated on a computer-level rather than on an account-level. Either that or they've taken it away from me.

Strange: it seems I've also lost these new features. I'm using the same pc and same browser.

I've lost the new features as well. Had them this morning.

Looks like they're having problems at the moment and pulled the new features for the time being until they can be resolved:
