Get your countdowns here!

[Ted and Holly]

Webmaster Cricket - I posted this in another thread but I think it got buried under everyone else's posts complaining about the change...

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.

This has probably been asked a zillion times, but since the countdown timers have been disabled, where can I get one of those ticker thingies to put in my signature? And if ya have to yell at me for asking a silly question, do it quietly, my puppy is sleepin' in my lap...shhh.....

Okay, stupid question. I went to ticker factory and made my ticker, but it only shows up in "months left" I've gone back and forth a few times on that site, through every step, but don't see anywhere to specify the units of measure. Help!

Will someone lead me in the right direction on how to set up a ticker? Also how do you get your trips that you have taken to show up.

To get your trips to show go to User CP, on the top left, then click edit signature, write the trips in the box on the bottom. Good luck.
I am still trying to set up a ticker, haven't figured that one out yet.

Top left on each page under where it says "DISboards" and Mickey's picture. Then go into "edit signature".

Thanks for the info...I figured it out. Hope someday my disney list can be as long as yours. I'm really getting into this, and we're not leaving for another 8 months!
