REQUEST: Countdown to date by kaitlyn2004 on 01-15-2007 at 03:06 PM
Could anyone make a script for me that would do something like: "MyName - 180"
and have the 180 change each day, as it is a countdown to an specified date?

Actually, code wise, Countdown Live has a problem a few dates where it will return a invalid result. The interface is better yes, but it is less accurate. (You can't blame it on the script... As soon as you use the JScript date object, you are prone to errors due to a bug in the timezone management code). Countdown also calculates accurate weeks, months and years (taking into account leapyears).

When I click apply to submit the information. I got back to it and its all white and empty again.
Please can you post a screen shot of a fully filled out config box because I really can't get it to work correctly for some weird reason.

Anyways, for those suggesting countdown scripts: try to not push something into someone's throat while conveniently not mentioning the concurrent scripts....
I have made a detailed list of the available scripts since a long time.
