zitsky Posted October 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I can't seem to find the right page on new CC. Are they gone with the redesign. I really liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zitsky Posted October 16, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted October 16, 2018 It looks to me that the countdown clocks are NOT working. Mine still looks the same as it did a few hours ago. Too bad. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambs2 Posted October 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I cannot find the link to make one ANYWHERE. I had an old one in my signature and did just remove it. I will miss having a countdown to my next cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted October 18, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I found a few clocks that would work (I tested) but they are too big and can't be used. Still looking for a text only BBcode clock that would work. Yes I have this much free time. I have organized my cruise paperwork and looking for something to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You simply need an image generating clock. I built my own really quickly. The other limitation though is that you can only have 1 image in your footer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it just works for Royal Caribbean and I don't have a builder for it. Maybe I'll change that in the future. The URL for my countdown is: http://natix.net/cruisei/rccl_Allure+of+the+Seas_Eastern+Caribbean_2019-01-13.jpg You can change the ship name, cruise name and date to make it work for others.

I decided to throw together a quick builder to customize the image and I put a couple of NCL backgrounds on there so that you can use it with the right background. http://natix.net/cruise-image-generator EDIT: It looks like their may be an additional issue. When you add an image to your signature now Cruise Critic makes a copy of it and caches it on their server. I believe this prevents the countdown from updating. Right now my image should say 86 days and have difference fonts but CruiseCritic is showing the one that they cached. I don't know if they cache it forever or if it will eventually refresh.

I actually manually replaced it to see if there was a way to prevent the caching. I don't think my new method will work either but we'll see tomorrow.

zitsky Posted October 19, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I found something that should work. But I can't figure out how to make it work in the signature. Edit: This is interesting. There is an option to buy a copy of this clock but they seem to want a monthly subscription. Oh well.

That countdown requires an HTML iFrame (basically embedding another website) in your footer. There is no way that they'll allow that to happen. If they will just go back to allowing images from 3rd party sources that aren't cached on their server then there will be options available.

zitsky Posted October 28, 2018 Author #20 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The CC countdown clocks are back. I'll try to find the link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gnome12 Posted October 28, 2018 #21 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Countdown clocks are allowed again. If you search in bugs and glitches there is a link to CC's countdown clock. I know of no other way to get there. I was able to put my 2 countdown clocks back. Edited October 28, 2018 by gnome12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
