I just noticed there was a timer button next to the table button...what does it do/how does it work?

I've been editing old posts for an hour or so trying to make it work, but can't get it to 
Here's what the BBCode guide says the tag should be formatted like:
[timer=09/02/2012 11:59 PM GMT;Your time is up!]don't know what goes here[/timer]
(month before day as per US convention; 'your time is up' should be the message that displays once the time has elapsed)
but that just gives the following blank space:
[timer=09/02/2012 11:59 PM GMT;Your time is up!]don't know what goes here[/timer]
I'd like to know how this works too as it seems like it could be useful.

The above is how it works on totalwar.org, so I'm not sure why it's not working. This would be extremely useful for the Mafia/NOTW forums.

What does it look like on totalwar.org? Do you get a timer that counts down, or does it just display a message once a certain period of time has elapsed?

It just shows up blank. Not good, so it needs to be fixed, before it gets implemented.

Works now. Look at your posts.

It may force people to say if they are using daylight savings or not

This makes my annual Earthweek countdown so much easier.
We can use it to quantify the time that slips through our fingers while using this site.

I like it personally. Is there a way to make it less specific (ie, only go down to hours, as opposed to seconds)?
I see y'all found it -- we're still discussing policy on its use.
The initial thought is that we'd like to avoid putting it in signatures, as that could get very distracting. Yes, I'm aware that there are a few legitimate uses for it, like the example that Catharsis already has up.
