vBulletin's CMS is a pile of poo! It really needs an overhaul. Try this (based on a sidebar of 300px)

Upload the contents of the attached zip, CHMOD the coutdown/js folder to 775

Create a new template called vbcms_widget_countdown and copy this code

<div class="cms_widget">
	<div class="block">
		<div class="cms_widget_header">
<h3><img src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/countdown/style/countdown.png" alt="" /> {vb:raw widget_title}</h3>
		</div>
		<div class="cms_widget_content_restore_widget_content">
<br/>
<div>		
		<div id="countdown">
			<div class="dash first weeks_dash">
				<span class="dash_title">Weeks</span>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
			</div>
			<div class="dash days_dash">
				<span class="dash_title">Days</span>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
			</div>
			<div class="dash hours_dash">
				<span class="dash_title">Hrs</span>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
			</div>
			<div class="dash minutes_dash">
				<span class="dash_title">Mins</span>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
			</div>
			<div class="dash seconds_dash">
				<span class="dash_title">Secs</span>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
				<div class="digit">0</div>
			</div>
		</div>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/misc.js"></script>
<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="countdown/style/countdown_cms.css"></link>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $('#countdown').countDown({
        targetDate: {
            'day':      19,
            'month':    7,
            'year':     2011,
            'hour':     23,
            'min':      59,
            'sec':     59,
			'utc':		true
        }
    });
});
</script>
</div></div>

Change the targetDate info and save the template.

Go to vBulletin CMS > Widgets > Create New Widget

Widget Type - Static HTML
Title - whatever
Save.

Configure the new widget
Enter Static HTML - <div></div>
Template Name - vbcms_widget_countdown
Save

Then go to Layout Manager and place the widget in the sidebar you want it to appear.

Clear the CMS Cache and Flush Cache on vBOptimise (if applicable)
