Adding a countdown timer to your post.

[AlexMc]

After spending quite a bit of time searching both the Bitcointalk.org forum and Google, and not finding simple instructions for how to do this, I thought I'd add type this up.  I eventually figured it out by right clicking on a post that had a countdown timer and looking through the source code.  Hope this saves you some time. 

This will add a countdown timer to your post, like the one below.  This particular one is counting down to New Years Day 2014 (UTC).

It's pretty simple once you know how!

• Click on the Insert Image button.  It's above the Wink emoticon.
• This will add the start and end img tags in [square brackets].  You can type them in yourself if you like.
• Insert this URL between the tags: https://www.onnit.com/emails/_modules/timer/?end=2014-01-01+00:00:00UTC&dark=1
• Edit the date and time (directly after /?end=) to set when you would like the countdown timer to reach zero.

If you need help converting your local time to UTC take a look at this website:

How does this work? It's just loading an image!

It's pretty clear how it works.... It counts down

It's probably just a never ending image. It's quite clever, I thought it was javascript at first!
