I set up the Events module for my install using the latest UNA and was configuring everything. There are three problems with the module.
Problem #1: Commenting on group events is not possible unless the event creator creates an initial post. With profile events, anyone who is attending can post and comment. Commenting is an internal option in Pages, but it is turned off. If you turn it on, it just hangs on the event page and doesn't work. Here is a screenshot:
Problem #2: The Questionnaire option is unfinished. The event creator can start and edit a question, but it is not accessible to any other event attendees.
Problem #3: The event sub-menu item "Groups" does not get utilized. I just turned it off.

Hello @CoolUser376 !
About point 1 - the event's joined members can post the initial comment too.

I tried that with a test user under a premium account. I had them join but there was no comment box. I will look into it more. Thanks.
Could you plz also check the access of this block in the Pages app - perhaps you set it only for the specific mem levels.

I spent many hours recently looking into this again. The problem with the post or comments box not showing up is only for events which are set for groups. The events which are not attached to groups can be commented on by those going to the event. I have checked every single permissions on pages, blocks, and navigation. You have to be the site administrator to make the initial post in events which are designated for specific groups. I still have not found a solution. When I enable the info for who can post, I get an error (see attached image).

I can get as far as adding the post and comments to the group event page. But they just stall and are not loading. See the attached screenshot.

I have an update on problem #2. I was incorrect on that one. It is implemented to allow the event creator to attach screening questions to event applicants. The event applicant answers the questions. When the event creator gets the notification that that person wants to join, they can see if the answers are satisfactory.

I have found a workaround solution until the Events module integration with Groups can be fixed. Members who are creating an event for a group (who are not the site admin) can use the "Share to context" button on the timeline post for the event (You can do this with a new post. But if you delete the original new post, the shared post will disappear from the events page.) After clicking the button, select to share it to the new event. This will put a copied post with the event banner inside the event page so that all of the attendees can comment and talk. It's not ideal, but it works.
