reisyboy suggested this, and I kinda felt like coding it, so here it is. Might be fun.
This BBCode lets you place a count-down in your posts or signature. The time remaining will be displayed in days, hours, minutes, and seconds as necessary. This time will change every time your post/sig is loaded. After the time you're counting down to has passed, the script will do a "reverse countdown" to show how long ago the event was.
Here's the format...
[countdown]
<day>-
<month>-
<year> <hour (0-23)>:
<minute>:
<second>[/countdown]
Example:
[countdown]15-10-2003 12:00:00[/countdown] =
7710 days, 7 hours, 34 minutes, 46 seconds ago
Example of past event:
[countdown]10-10-2003 12:30:02[/countdown] =
7715 days, 7 hours, 4 minutes, 44 seconds ago
To work correctly, the time/date must be in GMT, and not your own time zone. You can count down to any time/date within the next 1 year.
