Countdown clocks

[UGAFan0829]

I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a coutdown clock to put in the signature. I have the one from TickerFactory.com, but I want one like the ones that we had here that show the actual days, minutes and seconds.

burma, I think your countdown is working. If you click on the link, it shows your clock. Without HTML, I think that link is as good as you're gonna get with an up-to-the-second countdown clock.

HTML is no longer allowed on these boards effective about 1 month ago- you must use tickerfactory-type countdowns which unfortunately are not as accurate or nice.

The countdown you are trying to use is a .cgi script code. Like HTML, things like cgi or javascript will no longer work on the DIS boards. (The old countdowns everyone had were javascript code)

HTML was turned off for everyone's protection and security. The DIS boards were fairly unique in that they ever allowed HTML in the first place. Most discussion boards have never allowed HTML.

While this is unfortunate that HTML had to be turned off, it was necessary, please understand this.

You can link to the .cgi code if you want and it will show in another window as a static display. That is, not actually counting down, but a snapshot of the time left when you hit the link. You can do something similar to the example below:

Example:

We have THIS LONG before our next trip to WDW.

Here's a link to a countdown generator that sort of works. It shows a real countdown, only it is static.

This appears to be a good alternative. It uses a png script to create a new 'image' that is then produced like a photo, giving an immediate 'snapshot' for posting, and also gives the bb code to use which makes linking to it very easy.

I like it better than the tickers, and hopefully it will help those who want more of a countdown like we had with HTML code. I won't take credit for finding it though, someone else had it in their signature and I just liked it and posted the link.

As an aside, Bill, thank YOU for all you do for us and for your DVC programs. I use them all the time.
