Drop Dates Disappeared

Will the drop dates be coming back to the top of the forum?

I know the script needed updating to reflect no longer 92/99 days but was still a really handy feature.

I don't know why it disappeared in the first place, I'll add it back soon.

It 'ran out' of scope. Was always useful - as was the dropdates.co.uk site.

Going by 92 days from the renewal date I think I'm right in thinking that this should work:
PHP Code:
Today's Drop Date is:
<?
echo date("d-M-Y",(time()-(92*86400))); 
?>

I always use

echo date("d-m-Y", strtotime("-92 days"));

Something like that, but thats because working seconds in a day is too much hassle :P

If your going to be lazy, php is the language to do it, well actually vb is the language to be lazy, but php is a close second :P (explains why I use both).

The PHP file is there and it works, I updated the global variable plugin in VB but it still doesn't show.

Any ideas?
