But you'll have to wait negative 1036 weeks, 6 days to find out what my secret is.

When it's time, you'll find out what it is here:

Matt's really teasing us... Did he have to post it this early? It's better to be something really great!

He's probably going to tell us which screenshot(s) was/were the real one(s).

That's quite possible, because he hasn't edited it yet and the time keep changing. Or maybe it's an option to hide the fact that you edited a post :)

Um... you guys do realise the code for that's been around for a couple months, right? [untiltime=mo/dy/year 00:00pm]text[/untiltime] gets the job done

But since it's updated every minute, he would need a lot of /untiltimes to do it.

No no, I mean it's a tag that automatically updates itself each time the page is loaded. For instance, here's an unhidetime tag and its output:

[unhidetime=11/21/2004 1:00am]Revealed![/unhidetime]

Revealed!

DiMono's correct - I'm using the untiltime and unhidetime tags. Schik's informed me that only the person who's actually posted will be allowed to see what's in the unhidetime tag - not even a mod can see it.

Also, why is that everyone automatically assumes that because it's secret, it's about JtRH? It will blow you away, though.

Matt

I have one serious question. Will we be unable to download user holds unless we have a subscription to CaravelNet?

Actually, I think we should make sepearte threads somewhere for asking questions for JtRH. There will be a lot of questions from now, I guess...

A new board would be nice...

No, I think it's been timed properly. So long as it doesn't interfere with the competition, it's all good.

It appeared after the comp voting finished, but an hour before it said it would. Not that I'm complaining. :D
