We have set up a new signature countdown timer that replaces the old [countdown] code. The new feature is very easy to use and requires no coding. It's configured from the User Control Panel link labeled "Edit Countdown/Countup (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/timer.php?)".

Instructions for using the new countdown feature:

Go to the Edit Countdown/Countup (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/timer.php?) link in your User Control Panel (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/usercp.php).
Enter the text you would like to see while the countdown is active in the field labeled "Message to display before specified time:". Your text can be up to 120 characters long.
Enter the text you would like to see after the countdown expires in the field labeled "Message to display after specified time:". Your text can be up to 120 characters long.
Set the date and time at which the countdown should expire, and don't forget to set "Active" to "Yes".
Click "Save".


Your new countdown will appear below your signature; it does not appear in the post preview, only in the actual submitted post. Feel free to post in this thread (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/showthread.php?t=152558) to test your new countdowns. Note that you must have something in your signature or the countdown will not appear at all.

Please note that the old [countdown] code will be turned off in the near future.
