Would it be possible to have a sort of countdown as your PSM saying something like "xxxx days/weeks/hurs/months till........" That is updated every few hours?

For the nickname version it could add a "xx days/weeks/hours/months" after your set nick name. See my current nickname (in my signature). It is currently "Salem | 3 Weeks". So one could set "Salem" as your set nickname and the script add the "| xx days/weeks/hours/months" at the end.

I think the PSM would be easiest to implement, although having it in nickname would be cool as well. Currently i have to manually update my nick name with the countdown.

I don't have any knowledge of JScript otherwise i'd experiment with it myself.

veggie has a script that can do this... go ask him for it

ive almost finished the script i will post it soon

Thanks, just tested it and it works great. Although, could you add it so that format can include hour, minute & seconds for countdowns that don't include midnight

Just curious, where does this script get the time etc from? It seems to be an hour off..at midnight it was supposed to say 7 days and 0 hours till my birthday (april 2nd) right? It said 6 days and 23 hours, where have i lost an hour? Systemclock is not changed to DST yet.

Yeah, it works so well that it motivated me to add a "filter" option for the event viewer . I think the updates should be at the minimum once every two ir three minutes, else, you're goign to flood the Messenger network as well as flood the chat logs of people (remember that name/psm changes are logged during the chat and no, I won't add a time out ).
