UKTIGGER:
I had lots of problems getting my countdown to work. I am not the most computer literate person. The problem I ran into was not copying the information in the script section. After you click on Re/generate the script section will have lots of computer lingo written highlighted in blue. Go to your Edit menu and press Copy, and then go to User Cp, update your profile and "copy" it in your signture line and then submit your changes. Once someone pointed these steps out to me, I was able to do it.
Hope this helps. Also, try posting a help question in the Technical board and see if they can help. (Although I had to place it in 3 different places on the Technical board before someone came to my rescue.)
