about: This hack allows you to add a scrolling title to your forum. I am working on a product to auto-matically do this for you but my skills with xml coding are minimal and still are a work in progress. I know I will recieve responses saying this is super easy; it's basic javascript; etc, I know, but not everyone knows this.

Installation:

1)
IN THE FORUMHOME TEMPLATE DO THE FOLLOWING:
################################################## ###
STEP A: ## FIND <HEAD> ##############################
################################################## ###
UNDERNEATH ADD:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var scrl = " INSERT DISIRED SCROLLING TEXT HERE ";
function scrlsts() {
scrl = scrl.substring(1, scrl.length) + scrl.substring(0, 1);
document.title = scrl;
setTimeout("scrlsts()", 300);
}
// End -->
</script>

################################################## ################################################## ######
################################################## ################################################## ######
STEP B: ## FIND <BODY>
################################################## ################################################## ######
UNDERNEATH ADD:

<BODY onLoad="scrlsts()">

################################################## ################################################## ######
DO THIS FOR EVERY TEMPLATE YOU WISH TO HAVE SCROLLING TEXT.############################################# #############
################################################## ################################################## ######
################################################## ############

There's no scrolling in your demo except for your favicon !

The title will be scrolling too. It may not be displaying for you. What kind of browser are you using?

Hmm.. theres nothing wrong with the code. try installing it on your own forum first
.

It probably is your browser

And your demo is a warez site!! (which has a post for vbulletin hack sites)

tut tut ...

Theres no vbulletin hacks there. only themes made by team will be there.

Besides visual effect I don't see any use for this.

This could have a serious effect on SEO.

Just my 2c.

This will have no effect on SEO because the actual <title> will remain the same. Since this is javascript this only affects visually. The reason I posted this is because it catches a user's attention if they visit the site.
