BB Code Enhancements - Countdown BB Code

Description

This is a countdown hack that allows users to put a custom countdown using BB Code.

Example:

[countdown=12/31/2020 5:00 AM;It is finally here]Count down:[/countdown]

The countdown will count down till it reaches the date then it will show the text in the option after the date. The param is the text before the countdown.

The date is in the format of m/d/yyyy h:mm AM.
m is for month.
d is for day.
y is for Year with 4 digits like 2008 not 08.
h is for the hour.
The last m is for minute and needs to be 2 digits.
The AM can be AM or PM.

Also I would like to suggest the website PhotoBucket. You don't have to deal with ads as much as the www.pic-share.eu.

Sorry about the slow response. The time for the countdown is based on the user time because it uses Javascript. One user could be in Europe and another in the US, the Europe and US users would each see different times.

So how would you make it the same for everyone then? I'd love something that really works. I've uninstalled this one at present.

There is really no way without sending requests to the server. This would lead to using up a lot of bandwidth and causing the load to go up on the server.
