How to Start a Countdown

[ymelancon]

I've noticed several members have digital countdowns in their threads regarding how long till they cruise. I'm new to this site and still learning my way around in it. How do I start my own countdown?

Go here first http://www.geocities.com/quietman01970/maker.htm

 

Then click on code maker at the bottom right of page.

 

Fill in info then copy your code.

 

Signature - Use the User CP in upper left corner of CC board page to access.

 

Click on edit signature - click on insert image icon paste youe code in the pop up box for http:

 

Test signature at the bottom of page and see if you have a countdown clock.

 

Let me know how you did. Then we will work on your avator next...

:D

Okay Awsmrn, almost there. Edit Options, Thread Display Options, check all three boxes, Show Signatures, Avatars & Images, and that should do it.

[ymelancon]

I followed your instructions to the letter, but when I test the signature I get a box with no pix in it and http://. But no countdown clock. Do you know what the problem is??

[ymelancon]

What???? Could you explain the instructions in more detail. Thanks! Plus, how do you get your countdown clock to scroll across the page?

[dms_cruisers04]

ymelancon, when you test your clock, does it end up looking like awsmrn's?

Until">http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=800080&cdt=2004;09;06;16;00;00&timezone=GMT-0600">

Until I Cruise

If so, go back into UserCP, click on the EditOptions link and in the Thread Display Options box on that page, check the Show Signatures, the Show Avatars and the Show Images box.

Those need to be on to have the clock show, instead of just the html script.

 

If you can get that to work, then you add <marquee> to the front and </marquee> to the end.

 

Good luck. HTH

AWS; lets correct your clock. open your user CP and lets fix it.

 

put a space between your word UNTIL and your clock...its reading it as one whole word.

 

take out the ". before the HTTP and add (include the bracettes)

 

do not forget to save at the bottom and it should work perfectly.

after you copy your information go to the top of this post USER UP edit signutre. Paste in to the block--dont forget to save it at the end.

 

Come back and lets see how you did.

[ymelancon]

All three boxes are checked and I get the http:/ language you mentioned, but still dont' see any clock.

[awsmrn]

still not working

What's the date/time/port of your cruise (that you're trying to do a countdown for)?

 

I'll create the code for you and email it to you if you'd like. Just email me (click on my name and choose public profile).

[ymelancon]

I see you are online, I just tried to email you, but it stated that you requested no emails be sent. My email is: ymelancon@kslaw.com

 

I'm leaving on August 2, 2004, ship leaves 4:00 pm THANKS!!!

[BottledRed]

I've just emailed you the code. I assumed you were sailing out of New Orleans, so if you are sailing out of a different port, just let me know (it will change the time zone).

Here is the code for the time clock that I have. Just copy and paste into your signature. Change the time, dates and ship info. Hope it works.
