[BBCode Suggestion] Deadline/Countdown

Basically you put date (and time) and the forum will display a real-time countdown. Also, the timezone will be adjusted to the poster's timezone.

This is a false statement.

Re: [BBCode Suggestion] Deadline/Countdown

Also, the timezone will be adjusted to the poster's timezone.

arguably the wrong choice. what events would occur not at one specific instant, but respectively for each time zone? holidays?

you don't need the forums to tell you when christmas is.

but events that happen independent of the time zone seem more common.

Re: [BBCode Suggestion] Deadline/Countdown

I mean't during the posting. If the user puts the deadline to end at 5:00 PM, it's 5:00 PM for him.

^and... that's exactly what you said! I misread.

Personally, I could see potential here (which is more than can be said for a lot of suggestions), but I dunno. This is in league with the polls

I think this would be a valuable addition to the forums.

Re: [BBCode Suggestion] Deadline/Countdown

Promise this isn't a useless gravedig

This idea would be especially useful in (as maxi points out) mafia. Especially when you have a gent who apparently likes GMT-1 as a timezone, but yesterday as a date. (Where is the int'l date line?)

and insofar no one's pointed out the "well just link to a countdown" in this topic, so really we have no naysayers.

That is the point of the suggestion, why gravedig?

Re: [BBCode Suggestion] Deadline/Countdown

To bring it more attention, more discussion. This seems useful and wasn't really definitively answered.

I'm proud that I absolved the kindergarten and I don't need a computer to calculate a time difference.
