function setcountdown(theyear,themonth,theday,thehour,themin,thesec){
yr=theyear;mo=themonth;da=theday;hr=thehour;min=themin;sec=thesec
}

//////////CONFIGURE THE COUNTDOWN SCRIPT HERE//////////////////

//STEP 1: Configure the countdown-to date, in the format year, month, day, hour(0=midnight,23=11pm), minutes, seconds:
setcountdown(2006,05,08,18,30,00)
//STEP 2: Change the two text below to reflect the occasion, and message to display on that occasion, respectively
var occasion="clickmaster resets!"
var message_on_occasion="clickmaster reset!"

//STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height, background color, and text style of the countdown area
var countdownwidth='520px'
var countdownheight='35px'
var countdownbgcolor='white'
var opentags='<font face="Verdana"><small>'
var closetags='</small></font>'


//////////DO NOT EDIT PAST THIS LINE//////////////////

Just wrap it with

<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid]=x">CODE GOES HERE</if>

where x is the forum id number for the forum that you wish it to display in. The bang it in showthread or forumdisplay and it'll run quite happily.
