<div style="width:80%; background-color: lemonchiffon; border: 2px solid darkgoldenrod; text-align: center; margin:auto;">NOTE! <br> The template doesn't work in real time, but receives the current day from the server when a new cache is loaded. As such, the template is prone to "getting stuck". If that happens, you can purge the cache. Consider including the [[Template:Purge]] in your message for user convenience.</div> | |||
