When I create an event for a group, how are the users able to find it? There are tabs for Post, Q&A, Wiki, Polls, but nothing for events besides the main menu bar at the top.
I've only been playing around with commons for a few days so I'm still trying to figure out the basics.
Also when I list an event in the events tab, I don't see it listed in the list for some reason.

On the group's page, there is a block on the right labeled "Upcoming Events", that will list the next 2 upcoming events in that specific group. That block also has a "more" link that will take you to either the view for all events in that group, or the Solr search page that lists all events in the group.

If you're using Apache Solr for your search index (and thus using Commons Events Solr), new nodes will not show up immediately in the results. This is due to 2 things. First, nodes are typically only set to be indexed for search on your site's Cron run, so unless your cron run happens immediately after a node is created, it won't be indexed right away. Second, Apache Solr has a processing delay for when items are sent to Solr and when they actually show up in the index. For instance, my install has a 2 minute delay from went an item is sent to Solr to when it is finally processed.

These two factors will result in a delay between when event nodes will show up on the /events page, if you're using Solr.

I did a fresh install and created an event in a group. I see the event listed in "Recent activity in this group", but I do not see a block specifically saying "Upcoming Events". I'm not using Apache Solr. If I were to press the button "Customize this page" on the group's page, I see a placeholder on the right side saying "Placeholder for empty View: Commons Events - Upcoming Events: Group pane". I also made sure the event belonged to the group. I have no idea why the Upcoming Events block is not showing up in the group's page.

Did you make sure to set the start and end date appropriately? As in, are the dates for the event actually "upcoming" rather than "past" events?
