Countdown Clock not being accepted

[terran_explr]

I go to https://www.cruisecritic.com/vbulletin/countdown.cfm to create a countdown clock. I copy and paste the displayed code exactly as it appears into my online signature (Settings > Signature). I get the message "Unable to retrieve signature image dimensions for https://clocks.cruisecritic.com/countdown.pl?image=Beach-9&name=Jerry Huller&date=9-7-2019&text=&ship=Paul Gauguin, please try another image". How do I fix the problem?

The old vBulletin software Cruise Critic Countdown Clock no longer works with our new Invision Community software. It was changed last year. There is a "definite possible maybe" it will be usable in the future. See the many threads about countdown clocks in this forum. You will need to find one from another source.

 

Here's one:

Also, try Google.

 

Edited to add: With the new software there are new requirements for signatures. Again, there are many threads on this forum about it.

 

From the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free Cruise Critic membership:

 

... Signatures
Cruise Critic has the following suggestions for keeping your online signatures manageable:

• Keep your images to around three (approx) -- which would include a picture, clipart, photo or your countdown.
• Try not to have any one image that is TOO large, which then takes additional time for your fellow members to download,
• If you have a LONG LIST of prior cruises, think about chopping off some, OR rearrange them horizontally rather than vertically;
• From time to time, browse through your signature and eliminate any extra blank lines, or old countdown codes, etc.

 Cruise Critic reserves the right to remove/delete portions of your online signature and will let you know that we've had to resize your online signature...
