What time zone does the countdown tag default to, and how does one change the time zone it uses?

Returning froma spontanious extended sabatical. Posting from an Android with a crappy touch keyboard, so spelling mistakes will occur with wild abandon.

Oops sorry. He's right, it's EDT/CST.

Three hours off from wherever I am, that's all I know. "Right coast" as opposed to "left coast"

Errr, it's possible to either convert your time to the server time by simple addition, or you can do [countdown]50 hours[/countdown] (or 5 days, or whatever) and get it to do the calculations for you.

We really ought to figure out a way to advertise that aspect better. It's really good work by Kison.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe make two tags that work almost the same, like the spoiler tags?

One would be "absolute" (and would be 'xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx:xx' fixed on EDT/CST), and the other would be "relative" ('40 hrs' or w/e).

I've noticed that typing (Without the *) [*countdown]1 hour, 30 minutes[/countdown] gives you a 1-hour countdown. Bug or feature?

Hoping to make a comeback to mafia soon...

Bug - it's just parsing the first part it sees, I think.

Oh wait, you're right. It made 5 hours instead of 1.5 hours.

I only thought it worked because the tag was working.
