 * I have set up the submission form on my site [http://www.eastwordnews.com](http://www.eastwordnews.com).
   I attempted to test it to see how well it works. The form asks for a location,
   however there is no way to enter one without dashboard access and adding a new
   location in “Places.” This does not work well with a community driven events 
   list. The “Community” cannot enter the place, and the form will not accept the
   submission without the location selected from the drop-down box.
 * Is there any way to allow the submitter to just put in an address that will work?
 * I’m at a bit of a loss here.
 * Thank you so much for your attention and consideration.

 * Users can create locations when creating an event. Make sure the setting “Allow
   users to create places” is selected in the admin settings.
