heh thanks...the timezone thing i'm really proud of. it took me awhile to "break" into the inner workings of invision board...but worth it cuz each time zone represents someone in our guild.

i'll share the code for that, but you're going to need some in-depth knowledge of php. pm me if interested.

for invision board 1.3, u need to be an admin and go to skins->board wrapper->edit. then insert this code anywhere after <% BOARD HEADER %>. Make sure the swf file is in the root directy of your forum.

Code:

<center>
<!-- URL's used in the movie-->
<!-- text used in the movie-->
<!--Guild Wars Release YEARMONDAYHOURMINSECguildkarma.com--><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
 WIDTH="257" HEIGHT="70" id="countdown+clock" ALIGN="">
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="countdown+clock.swf"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#666666> <EMBED src="countdown+clock.swf" loop=false menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#666666  WIDTH="257" HEIGHT="70" NAME="countdown+clock" ALIGN=""
 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT></center>

And it says 5 days left on mine. perhaps the numbers are a bit small, but i wanted to not be so intrusive to my guildmates.
