Countdown timer? [Solved]

[bitbaby]

Is it possible to add a countdown timer in a post?

Nothing too fancy but say that an event is going to start in 5 hours from now and it can simply go backwards from the time of that post?

Edit:

For ex. Something like this : http://www.pending.me.uk/cd/blu_1428015600.html
Not as fancy but maybe simpler or an animated gif.

you mean like automatic posts? where you can just write a post now and set a timer so that it would be posted automatically when the countdown ends?

nope, it's not possible on this forum, I think

Just set the time and date at http://gifcountdown.com/ and copy the link and put the link into image tag.

this one cover up pretty much few timezones, all you need is to click the free create countdown and set the countdown that you want

No, That's not what I meant. I mean a timer which tells how much time is left for an event to begin. like 5 .. 4 .. 3

I tried this one but for some reason it's not showing the correct time. And it's not showing up to me in the post.

There's no way to embed it into the post, I mean the animated version.

You mean those that actually show a countdown even without  refreshing the page? yes there is none but still if you need the actual countdown you can refresh your page, although I remembered months back there was 1 or 2 in altcoin sections which actually displaying a countdown instead of static html picture

OP is asking for a gif setting a countdown, or if he can share some kind of link that would have a timer set. like 5hours left and the times actuates by itself

Yes, Exactly this!
Edited the OP to make it more clear.

can't find anything other than gif.. there's some SMF scripts but I'm sure you have to be an admin to do that.

OP, you should try a stopwatch online or a countdown online link or something like this. i dont know how to explain in terms of computing but somehow something like a link to an online countdown

well all you guys posted does work. but since they are script and are not gif, you will have to refresh the page everytime to be able to see the countdown dropping down.. sucks, but it is how it is

It's not updated in real time.You need to refresh the page to see the timer change the time.

This is perfect!

Little difficult to understand but after some trial and error I am sure I can get it to work.

Thank you so very much!
