Show number of days since forum came online!

This is an idea I got from somewhere.
It will show the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds since your forum came online in the forum statistics area below.


First open counter.txt, and change the date you opened the forum from the setcountup, and change all what you want until by following all what's written on the counter.txt file.

After that you will need to edit 1 templates:

In FORUMHOME, find:

			<div><phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase></div>

After if add:

[THE CONTENT OF counter.txt]

Then click save and your done.

Show your support so that I can make some real mods.

This one has it as days, it's a product and you can put it where ever you like.

Great work none the less on the hack, not my prefered style though.
