A month away from the launch of the Wii and no hourly countdown thread?

What is the world coming to I ask...

Don't encourage him! >=|

That's because Toys R Us has a really cool one on this page: http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=2488658

We need to somehow steal that and put it here...

I don't see a Countdown page UncleBob.

decoyman · « **Reply #4 on:** October 19, 2006, 06:44:31 AM »

It's at the very bottom. And yes, it is a very nice countdown timer. Having the milliseconds on there really makes it look like it's counting down fast, huh?

Ceric · « **Reply #5 on:** October 19, 2006, 06:54:09 AM »

Something must be wrong with my machine. I just don't get that at the bottom

It's in Flash. Do you block Flash?

I found it, but the problem is that both counters (Wii's and PS3's) are together :S

It's really hard to take your angry face seriously with a cute loli smiling at me from your avatar!

Ceric · « **Reply #9 on:** October 19, 2006, 08:38:19 AM »

I don't think I have flash blocked. I'll just check when I get home later.

Direct Link to the SWF

Too bad its linked to the PS3 counter.

I can See... I can See....

Edit:
Is it just me or does the PS3 one reminds you of a bomb with its color scheme?

Not so much...

IceCold · « **Reply #14 on:** October 19, 2006, 01:10:05 PM »

Do the forums even support flash?

It can be done... somehow...

Ahaha, yeah, I forgot about that.. I've seen stevey do some amazing things with the forums - maybe he can pull this off. I still don't know how you would go about changing the font.

A time bomb!

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #17 on:** October 25, 2006, 05:35:12 AM »

As of right now there is only:

24 Days, 14 Hours, 25 Minutes and 10 Seconds till the Wii!

UncleBob · « **Reply #18 on:** October 25, 2006, 05:39:46 AM »

Kick ass.

I don't think stevey set-out to find a way to change the font, it's one of those silly little things you just stumble apon.

The font-changing secret is indeed disappointing.

It'd be nice if we could ask cattank how to embed flash. Too bad I banned him...

Rhoq · « **Reply #21 on:** October 25, 2006, 06:34:08 AM »

I take it there is no chance to allow the "embed" html tags?

Only if you are a mod, which is probably how "cattank" did it.

Pryopizm · « **Reply #23 on:** October 25, 2006, 07:50:57 AM »

Mods (non-senior staff) can't do much of anything since we don't have Admin status. We can lock, unlock, sticky, and ban.

There is not an option to toggle HTML in a post? I was just guessing, not really familiar with FuseTalk at all as it's such a rare choice for forums.
