Tried typing (countdown)X years(/countdown), most likely.
Which is a fickly thing.
Hours works.
Weeks, I've found not so much.
Months, may or may not work.
(expired on 2017-01-21 21:26:57) <--2 hours.
(expired on 2017-01-23 19:26:57) <--2 days.
[countdown]0.00[/countdown] <--2 weeks.
[countdown]0.00[/countdown] <--2 months.
[countdown]0.00[/countdown] <--2 years.

Code: Select all

[countdown]2 hours[/countdown]
[countdown]2 days[/countdown]
[countdown]2 weeks[/countdown]
[countdown]2 months[/countdown]
[countdown]2 years[/countdown]

^So, hours works; days works; weeks, months, and years do not, for the countdown timer.

Which is why when you do a countdown which is for weeks, months, or years, you need to manually type in the date.

Quite annoying, honestly. I can understand not needing months/years (we don't need those outside of special circumstances), but most mods would GREATLY appreciate it if they could just type "countdown: 1/2/3 weeks" for deadlines, rather than having to manually look up what the date is in 1/2/3 weeks. (I have to whip up a calendar each and every time I set weeks-deadlines, because I can't do the mental math reliably.)

Yeah, can confirm at least on my proxy. Whenever I use an https proxy, site chat is entirely absent; in order to use it, I have to be on an http proxy. This has been a thing for a very long time. (Honestly most of the servers my proxy uses switched over to https already so I have to go out of my way to not use https and would love it if https's glitches were fixed so that I wouldn't have that issue.)
