You can now embed countdown timers into your Campaigns and Events.

Go here: http://www.timeanddate.com/clocks/freecountdown.html

1. Set up your date and time(ignore colors and everything else) and click on:

2. "Show HTML for Countdown Timer"

3. Find the code that looks like this:

Code:
http://free.timeanddate.com/countdown/i3k9l85v/n179/cf12/cm0/cu4/ct0/cs0/ca0/cr0/ss0/cacf00/cpc000/pct/tcfff/fs120/szw320/szh135/tatTime%20Until%20Campaign%20Progresses/tacfff/tptTime%20since%20Event%20started%20in/tpc009/mat%20/mac000/mpt%20/mpc000/iso2013-03-28T14:00:00

4. Copy the VERY last part of the code that starts with iso:
Code:
iso2013-03-28T14:00:00


5. You must then manually enter this BBCODE depending on your event:

Campaigns:
Code:
[media=countdowntimer_campaign]ENTER INFO HERE[/media]

Events:
Code:
[media=countdowntimer_events]ENTER INFO HERE[/media]

No Title
Code:
[media=countdowntimer_notitle]ENTER INFO HERE[/media]

6. You will want to enter the LAST section of the URL inbetween the media block as so:

Code:
[media=countdowntimer_events]iso2013-03-28T14:00:00[/media]

The result will be the following:





 
Love this. Will be getting much use out of it. Especially as a mod when I see people "forget" to put it in their posts.
 
interesting, could this also be adjusted to each person and countdown for their next post... something like in PM.
