What are your desktop settings anyway?

Any more variations you need to see?

Going smaller tends to have me horizontally scroll more on countdown threads.

I just don't know what the others are seeing here as I do not have NS installed at this time.

SAB: Good Job! I forgot that the only thing the board does to the script is insert the <br> tag at each line break (it also does funky things with the curly-brace character so that's why I couldn't use it). I'll check with JC about changing the Countdown Timer Generator to incorporate your solution.

Thanks!

Once more - from the generator directly:
