Time Zone Countdown Option for Website/Sale Auctions

    When selling my sites via an auction here I usually create a countdown from:
    http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcount.html

    And then paste the link in my Site for Sale thread.

    It would be great if this could be implemented as a feature here on Digitalpoint as we're all in different time zones - I usually get a few messages after every auction with folks going 'Darn I missed it!' and think this would really help.

    Whaddya think?

    Cheers,

    Pete

    How do you get the code from this site and put in your site?

    You can't, it just gives you a link that you can put anywhere. It would be good if we could enter the time and time-zone on DP and then it would display how many days+hours are left after the last post in an auction thread, and then 'Auction ended' when it's done.

    Why not just say something to the effect of "Auction ends in 24 hrs from timestamp of this post".

    Which is what I usually do and think is a pretty good idea for all to follow. However if the code is implemented, I wouldn't oppose the idea at all.:)
