I wanted to see how many hours before I could post a new ad in the 40K section. I know my seven days is up tomorrow from my last pot, but I was looking to see when tomorrow I can post a new add.

7 days x 24 hours = 168 hours.

This is the response I got:

Sorry, your last post was 613 hours, 46 minutes, and 46 seconds ago in this forum.

The Bartertown rules (specifically rule #13) require that your new posts are at least 7 days apart.

Please feel free to edit/update your original post until then.

Your Original Post: New Years blowout, want it all gone.

WTF, over

Houston, We have a problem.

Someone else had this problem and MM (or some red name admin) explained it.

Bottom line is that the part of the code that SHOWS you your remaining time's screwed up. I think it's more headache that it's worth to fix right now, IIRC, time-wise.
All you have to do is look at your last ad. The site calculates the time down to the MINUTE for posting. So, if you posted on Jan 1, 2013 @ 12:01 am, you can't post another ad in that forum until Jan 8, 2013 @ 12:02 am.

I hope that helps.

I took a second look at this. The math was correct, but I had a very simple oops in the formatting of the text. The word "days" was missing. That should be 6 days, 13 hours ... not 613 hours.

It has been fixed, and should make * a lot* more sense now. Apologies for the confusion.
