Countdown Thing.

Something like this:

<form name="count">
<input type="text" size="69" name="count2">
</form>


<script>

/*

//change the text below to reflect your own,
var before="BFR Ends"
var current="BFR Ends Today!"
var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")

function countdown(yr,m,d){
theyear=yr;themonth=m;theday=d
var today=new Date()
var todayy=today.getYear()

It could just be put on the home page like a week before the round finished.

Hm. Why JavaScript?
Why not just something that counts the days in the month and subtracts the current date?
It could be done with php.

[Slasher]

Thats not a bad idea atcually some sort of thing saying how long left for the round.....

[IFman]

why do we need it, we know it ends on the 30th

[Slasher]

But other people who don't check the forums might not

[Ruddertail]

The first! The first! It's the first, not the 30th, not the 28th, not the 2nd, it's the 1st!

Now that that's done...

People who don't check the forums should. If it's hard to play without checking the forums, hopfully more people will. It's a lot easier the communicate over forums, since you can put up messages for every one to read, and you don't have to keep relaying convos back and forth, and stuff.

But I suppose just putting a line in the news "Next reset is the first of (whatever month it will be)" If people are to lazy to figure out how many days they have, or to lazy to remember what day it is, well, that's their problem, not ours...

[gondor]

nice thAT is a good idea but were would thecount down go *laughs*

[Slasher]

Near the title of the server name or something like that gondor. Are we going to have one of these? Personally I think it's a good idea.

[gondor]

kk at least it wouldent get in the way to much

[Scorpion]

sure its handy, I dont know when the BFR set ends..!

[Ruddertail]

The first! The first! It's the first, not the 30th, not the 28th, not the 2nd, it's the 1st!

See above. That is, the first of every month.

[gondor]

so are we going to have a countdown at all

[Scorpion]

The first! The first! It's the first, not the 30th, not the 28th, not the 2nd, it's the 1st!

See above. That is, the first of every month.

[gondor]
