HOW TO: Add a Countdown Timer to Your Signature

To add an easy, simple countdown timer to the bottom of your signature, click on My Home > Edit Options, scroll to the bottom of the window, and type in the necessary information for your countdown timer.



Once you've entered your countdown information, click Save Changes. Your countdown timer should appear at the bottom of your signature (as seen in posts) immediately.

Troubleshooting Tips
  • Be sure you have information in your signature. Without something in your signature -- even just your name -- the countdown timer can't be put in it. You can edit your signature in My Home > Edit Signature.
  • Does your countdown seem off? Make sure you don't have the month and day mixed up in your options.
  • Do not use the ampersand (&) anywhere in your ticker (i.e., the event or end message) -- if you do, it will not display.

Enjoy!

Graphic timers are external - not something you can add to your existing PassPorter timer. You have the option of adding an external countdown timer to your signature. Try a website like Graphical Event Ticker for your Signature, Message Boards, Blogs and Web Page or MouseHouseMagic Disney Community - Home for some fun graphic timers. When you've created your timer, just copy the UBBcode option and paste it into your signature like you would any other text or graphic.

ok... didnt work...
help...
I copied the BB one and pasted it in the bottom where it asks for a HTTP address, I tried deleting the HTTP that is already in there, I tried leaving it and just adding the paste to the end, and I also tried to paste it underneath my Dkoala as you see I just get a 'X' in a box... if I try the HTTP spot... I get a 'invalad' response...
what am I doing wrong?

There have been some problems with countdown timers from other sites, but they usually work okay.

It's relatively easy. Do not change anything from the code you get from them. Copy the UBB code from their site and paste it exactly as copied where you want it in your signature

For some reason right now, the UBB code for the mousehousemagic countdown timers isn't working, and this has been a problem off and on



I left the code in here to see when it starts working again

Feel free to use the countdown timer on this board until the issue is resolved...

Hang in there, these things will make you crazy
Nothing to loose over.
Sometimes you just have to try again in a day or so, then it may just come to you as an idea to try, poof...done!

Okay, I figured out how to get my countdown from MouseHouseMagic to appear, BUT, it erases my signature pic I already have in my signature. I know people have pictures AND countdown timers, so how can I have both? I actually would like to have a signature pic and 2 countdown timers. Can you help me?

Post your sig picture, carriage return, post the first countdown timer, carriage return, then post the next countdown timer...

Like this...







After the sig pic, use the img command to add the countdown timers...

How do I "post" the countdown timers. Do I put them in the URL box? It just overrides what's already there. It doesn't ADD anything to my existing picture. I guess I'm just missing something, because normally I'm not this dumb
