Here you can try the commands out. When you switch from one to the other, there is a repetition of the first one. It seems that before switching the variable, the ColourTell is executed. Is there a way to fix this?

Change '"@Var"' to 'GetVariable("Var")' and it should work how you want it.

LezChap is correct.

Reason it works that way is because 'Send to:' functionality, before running the script, replaces any @variable notations to be filled with their actual values. And only then will it let the script run.

You can also shorten your ColourTell, ColourTell, Note to just one ColourNote. You can repeat the foreground, background, text parameters as many times as you like in a single call, so it would like like this:

ColourNote("black", "cornflowerblue", GetVariable("venom1"), "black", "royalblue", GetVariable("venom2"))

The dates and times for posts above are shown in Universal Co-ordinated Time (UTC).

To show them in your local time you can join the forum, and then set the 'time correction' field in your profile to the number of hours difference between your location and UTC time.
