Basically a countdown timer for special days on the year such as birthdays or other important days.
Would also work well for modding queues if you wanna close it on a specific day or hour
or Great Game Deals


This is what I found when sneaking around the internet:

[countdown]month, day, dow, hour, min, timezone[/countdown]
  1. month : 1 through 12 or -1 within the next month, 0 for the current month
  2. day : day of month [1, 31] or + day offset
  3. dow : day of week sun=1 sat=7 or 0 for whatever day it falls on
  4. hour : 0 through 23 for the hour of the day
  5. min : 0 through 59 for minutes after the hour
  6. timezone : offset in hours from UTC to your timezone [-12, +13]
An example if you want it on Christmas Eve:

[countdown] 12, 24, 2, 0, 0, +1 [/countdown]
It would show this:
47 days+ 04 : 14 : 40

There's somewhat of a countdown on polls already. I guess it could be interesting to have a timer for posts.

Interesting, it should be useful for OWC (?), good idea.
