There *is* a vB code for a countdown. It is in use on two other vB boards I currently frequent. The code is [countdown=Event]Month Date Year[/countdown] - NO COMMA so for my trip it would be [countdown=Our 1st Trip to WDW!]July 2 2005[/countdown] and it would count down for me. If you'd like I can ask the admin at the other board how they made that code functional. It is just a simple text countdown but smilies can be added to either side of it. The funny thing is that one of the boards software counts down by months/days and the other is just days.
3 months 26 days until Our 1st Trip to Disneyworld!!
117 days until Our 1st trip to Disneyworld!!
Anyway, I think that this would be the answer to many people's complaints in the siggie dept. I totally understand why you took the HTML away! LMK if you want me to look into it further. Thanks!
PS I also like your fake countdown LOL
I posted this as well. The problem with the custom vB code for the countdown is that the code runs on the DIS servers. The old countdowns ran on a separate server. In the interest of saving as much processing and bandwidth for the functioning of the boards, the [countdown] tags were ruled out.
