I think he means something like this: http://mxsimulator.com/benchracing3/vie ... f=1&t=5158. Not sure how it works though (I quoted it to see the code but I can't figure it out).

The number in the date tag is Unix time. Basically it's seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC. You can use this to convert to it.

This date:
Was made with this code:

Code: Select all

[date]1279245600[/date]

It should, but it depends on the user's clock being set correctly.
