i'm thinking something that counts down from a specified time by referencing the post's timestamp.



would show something like 4 hours and 0 minutes if someone views it four hours after the user posted it. would be v useful for forum games because the more mathematically challenged amongst us wouldn't have to burn half of our brain cells trying to convert time zones. we could also have a [countu] for showing how much time has elapsed since a post was made.

alternatively for pure timecode stuff let us do a bbcode that converts a time to the viewer's timezone on the site (with smth specifying the timezone ofc)

I just spent a totally inefficient amount of time doing this, but here it is



Use this format:

Code:

[countd]10h30m[/countd]

wow spitey i already broke it good job

I guess it doesn't like 10 billion hours

OK I think it just gets confused when you try to use a number that could be specified with a larger unit

For instance "24h" works, but "25h" forgets to add the "1 day" at the beginning

10 billion hours just broke it because that's literally 1141553 years

OK that part should be fixed
