Help with Refreshing Time Related Greeting

Post by benramsden99 »

So I have cobbled together a skin which mostly works. However, I have added a time related greeting e.g. 'Good morning, "NAME"', it works when I manually refresh the skin, but when it gets to 12:00, 18:00 or 20:00 hours when I have set it to change from 'Good afternoon' to 'Good evening', it doesn't change itself, I have to manually refresh the skin.

This is how it currently looks:

This is how I want it to look:

Any help appreciated :D
