Heh, if you want to blame anyone, blame these people:

kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11571

Anyway, this is the same one that I had before. I remember though that some people complained about it and that it caused some problems for some people. So if that's the case, let me know right away, and I'll remove it or try to replace the counter with a better one.-jay

I am not too fond of the the aqua colour. But the idea is great.

I can change the color pretty easily, I think.

If no one has any problems with it, then I'll change it to something that matches the theme better.-jay

I like it!

But, is there a way to only have it appear on the index? I think for me, it will get old pretty quickly if it loads on every page...

Personally, I think that makes it funnier. Hehe.

But yeah, if you all are bothered by its position, I can probably move it onto just the index page.-jay

I love it!

Is it set for each of our timezones? Can it tell me exactly when my local Barnes and Noble will open that day? :)

For some reason, it appears to be messing with my display. Every few pages or so, all I will see is avatars. No text. When I refresh the screen it's ok, but...
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Ok, it's really getting annoying.

What a weird little lonely text:

Looks like the counter is in Java. I have Java turned off by default. It's a theoretical security hole (I know about the sandbox, but...), and I save CPU cycles this way.

I like it too.
It reminds me a lot of the count-down (on Herr-der-ringe-film.de) awaiting the films of LotR :D

I was going to post a funny comment about how it's on every page, and you can't escape it, no matter where you go.

Darn.

I think the index page would be sufficient. Plus the portal page.

Or go the other way, and put it on every post, betweem the title and the avatar.

Yeah, I thought it was going to cause problems like that. Sorry, Syl.

I'll see if I can play with it, and make a good compromise. Would having it on just the index page be better? Or maybe I could give it its own page that you can access through a link.

I'm open to ideas.-jay
