Right, I have this countdown timer I would like in my banner, it should update everyday ^.^
It works fine on other forums.. just here it doesn't work && it's a mystery to me!

This is the BB code it gives me -

[url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]
http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10711;442/st/20090619/e/McFly+Forest+Tour+%26lt%3B3/dt/5/k/06db/event.png

This is what it should look like, and does on other places that use BBcode ^.^

Am I missing something in the code that is needed here?

Thanks!!

You are missing the [ /url ] closing tag. But that shouldn't affect the image displaying.

I asked Mark on MSN, but I don't think he is there xD :sad:

Like this Linda?

That's with [/url] at the end, it goes like that xD

Should be like this (without the spaces obviously)

[ url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/ ][ img ]http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/d/4;10711;442/st/20090619/e/McFly+Forest+Tour+%26lt%3B3/dt/5/k/06db/event.png[ /img ][ /url ]


But, it's not displaying. The code is correct, so the only thing I can think of is that one of the characters in the code is preventing it from displaying for whatever reason. That's a question for Mark/James to answer. If I'd to guess, I'd say it was the semi-colon though.

Will hope one of them see's this.. or ask Mark again in a bit!

Mystery to me :\ xD

why is there a slash directly at the end of the url

A semi-colon usually represents a line-break.

Because it's a directory.

It could be because there is ;'s and the link in the code.. and it's splitting it up maybe, yea :\

That's what I'm thinking Nicky..

I thought that's what you meant ^.^

Was just kinda of double checking xD

Mark or James, any ideas? :) xx

I'll check this out. There is a problem with some URLs not displaying properly.
