  • bbs.time_left

    Hi DM,

    Is the bbs.time_left variable meant to change while the user is online? I was thinking of dynamically displaying the amount of time remaining in one of my scripts, but I found that bbs.time_left doesn't change. I wasn't sure if bbs.time_left is supposed to count down as the user is online or not.

    It does for non-T-exempt users. If you test as sysop, you'll probably not see it change since you have the 'T' exemption.

    Ah, I see. Thanks.
