If someone can just point me to a docs page that explains this clearly I'd appreciate it. This is for a volunteer project and i'm not posing as a drupal dev, i am just trying to get a site's features fleshed out (see www.microtopianyc.org) and am so far behind on my personal life I could jump.
If there is no docs page on this, a short explanation would do and would save my day. Here goes:
-- I am using Superfish menus (Danland theme). I have an Events menu item that has Upcoming Events and Past Events child menu items.
-- I have created a vocab called Events with two terms: Upcoming Events and Past Events
-- for each term I have specified a URL: upcoming events is at "events/upcoming" and past events term is at "events/past"
-- i go into Menus and try adding a submenu under Events with the url "events/past" for past events, for example, and click add. But no menu item is created and no error is reported.
HELP.
What I'm trying to do is to display upcoming events under the Upcoming Events menu item, and to display past Events under the Past Events menu item.
Upcoming events should be sorted in date order, Past Events should be sorted in descending date order. Since the Date module seems to be in bad shape (I tried using it but it blew up my sandbox and I got no response to the issue I posted) I will use the publication date as a fake way of sorting the events the way I want them.
I tried using Views but it does not seem I can create a view for a specific term, only for a whole vocabulary not a specific *term*.
I am quite savvy & techie, just not a drupal admin/dev! I just need to be told or shown once and i'll get it.
Thanks in advance if anyone can bail me out here.

It may simply be a caching issue both Drupal and your browser caches.

Thanks Earnie. But I'm not clear on what "it" is? What may simply be a caching issue -- the failure of D7 to make the menu item? If that's what you meant, the menu item is definitely not there, have cleared cache several times, both Drupal and browser.

"It" is the issue you described and yes I meant to clear the cache. Do you see the links when you view the contents of the menu_router table and the cache_menu table. If they are not in cache_menu, it will not display on the screen, and if it is not in menu_router then it won't be in cache_menu. I've not played with D7 enough to give you more help but you might want to tell us which menu you put the links into. Also check the site with the default garland theme to see if it is a theme related issue.
