This is a simple announcement/news mod. It place a marquee announcement section anywhere on the forum you choose. On mouseover the marquee stops allowing users to view the messages. Integrates well in vBulletin.

Replace the text in red with your data. The image is optional.

HTML Code:
<!--Announcements-->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="2"><center>Your Title</center> </td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><img src="yourimage.png"/></td>

<!--Messages-->
<td class="alt2">
<marquee direction="left" scrollamount="6" onmouseover="this.scrollAmount=0" onmouseout="this.scrollAmount=6"><font size="2"><b>

<!-- Your Message Here -->

</b></font></marquee>

<!--/Messages-->
</td>
</tr>

</tr>
</table>
<br />
<!--/Announcements-->

v1.1:

Made into an XML for easier management. Settings can be altered via admincp.
With the XML you can choose a location from preselected options or put it where you want on FORUMHOME using

<!-- announcements -->

Only draw back is with the XML it can only be displayed on FORUMHOME for now.

I tried it out on my local test site. Well done :cool::up: Tons of uses for this, you could even wire this right into your notices if you wanted to.

Here's a screen, although you need to run the code to get the full effect or else it's just a tcat box with letters ;)

font tag and bold tag are old try a

<span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:2px;"> <!-- content here --> </span>

change your image src to

<img src="" alt="" />

so it validates some what as transitional html.

Lolz sorry if I seemed harsh its just users tend to forget about standards and such which puts the browser in quirks mode. Font tag is legacy html but vbulletin uses transitional xhtml as the doctype. Every good for your first edit I plan on using a similar method for a mods username.

It goes all the way across for me, depending on your style the code may need a little editing.

Anywhere you want thats the reason i made it because i wanted different ones for different parts of my forum.

Try removing this line and see if it helps, it seems to be doing that on IE.

<td class="alt2"><img src="yourimage.png"/></td>
