How to: Using Countdown Timer

[mike_s]

Unfortunately, the countdown timer has been AWOL.

Seems like's it's working again to me.

[countdown=1/30/2025 12:00 PM]Count down:[/countdown] Until Scubaboard Explodes



for anyone else to reference/use, use the below and insert/edit in your own date

[countdown=1/30/2025 12:00 PM]Count down:[/countdown]until blah blah...

And where is this particular countdown timer found?

[countdown=2/15/2010 4:00 PM]Count down:[/countdown] until ScubaSteve reads my above edited post with the code for the timer in it.

First, ignore the two "noparse" terms in the square brackets.

[ countdown=1/30/2010 12:00 PM ] Count down: :[/ countdown ] until something happens

Put the date and time in the first part. remove all the spaces except that one between the date and the time. then put your own descripton instead of the "until something happens".

Geeze you guys I ask for stupid simple. Do I have to put the brackets around the words countdown=date then write Count down colon bracket backslash countdown bracket. Then write the whatever is happening thing outside of the bracket.
I just cant get what the heck you are doing to get it I tried in the Coz forum and all I got was brackets around the date.

How about, you give a date and a time and an event, and I will put it into a countdown?

Then, you 'quote' my response and copy the line. It should be more clear, then. Okay?

It needs to be exactly like I put it in my post.

I cheated. Simply quoted one of his countdown lines for the format and then copy/pasted it, then substituted my own information. However, I don't care much for the . between seconds and until.
