Oh yeah, have you met our first moderator, Sharon? I obviously don't pay her enough. Or, at all!

I'm not all that familiar with countdown tickers, but let me know if I need to fiddle this or fiddle that to get them to work correctly here. I am not ashamed to admit that I'm only just beginning to understand this forum software.

Default Countdown ticker status

I've been working on a prototype of a countdown ticker that I hope to polish up and put on the site sometime in the next few days. It will hopefully be somewhat more elaborate than a generic "X days remaining" ticker and a little less sophisticated than a TickerFactory style ticker with a progress indicator.

Stay tuned...

John

I'm not sure what images I'm using yet... so if you have any ideas (Palm trees are good), post 'em here.

Here's one I was playing with...



Unless I can figure out how to position the text on the right side of the pic, I'm gonna be stuck using images that have a "blank" space somewhere on the left side.

I'm also soliciting comments...
The "our return to Playa" is user entered info. Let's ya brag about what you are counting down! Cool or no?
Is this obnoxiously big?
What should it say when the countdown expires? ... is in the past?

Thumbs up Announcing the In The Roo countdown tickers

Ok, I think I worked out most of the kinks in the countdown ticker. Good enough for a version 1.0. Give it a try and let me know what problems you encounter:

More images, coming soon.
