Countdown timer off?

[Kilsin]

Yeah mine has been showing 00 00 00 00 for hours now, since I first posted, strange! lol

It's weird being in the future sometimes!

Heh yes, I have it set for local time to the web server. For some reason, I thought it translated to your local times - guess not.

This was just an estimate based off Kilsin's report.

Code: Select all

											year:2014,
											month:7, 
											day:31, 
											hour: 18,
											minute: 00,
											rangeHi: "days",

it shouldn't need to translate, that is the problem. 9 hours for you should still be 9 hours for me.

Yeah but I am not in EST

Sorry guys, the timer was meant to be a fun little thing that I could not get timezone offsets to work (due to phpBB themes and just not enough time). I need a longer countdown time... not enough time to do anything anymore.

I added the PDT, though it kinda sucks the fun out of counting down for those not in the PDT

heh, 8 hours from now is 8 hours from now, regardless of the timezone. The counter should show the same for everyone since it is a "number of hours till" counter. (Or am I failing math again?)

No, you're right.

For some reason the timer is setting the sunset time to 6:00PM in whatever time zone you are in, not a flat 6:00PM PDT. The countdown should be static for everyone.

Also, now that you added PDT, it reads as 4 hours 45 minutes left til sunset (PDT).
