hmm yes,
let's say you make a post at: 1:00PM with bbcode:

[COUNTDOWN]00:02:00:00[/COUNTDOWN]

When the post saved, the countdown timer will start from:
00:02:00:00
and will countdown...
00:01:59:59...
00:01:59:58... etc
and will end at 3:00PM.

So the countdown timer will run at post time + the value you set inside the bbcode.
As times you edit the post, the countdown timer will end at 3:00PM 'cause is [COUNTDOWN], not [ECOUNTDOWN].



The same if at 1:00PM you make a post with bbcode:

[ECOUNTDOWN]00:02:00:00[/ECOUNTDOWN]

.. but if for example you edit the post at 2:00PM and hit save, the countdown timer will start again:
00:01:59:59...
00:01:59:58... etc
... and will end at 4:00PM

So in "E" case, we have the edit time (if an edit exists, otherwise we have the initial post time) + the value you set inside the bbcode. As many times you edit a post with "E", the timer will start again.

Hope now its more clear.
