[K4GAP]

Looks good on site. Nice job.

[RobbieZ]

Very impressive.

Whats the page load like? Is it slowing the forum down as it calls each time? Or is that your Wibiya toolbar?

Off topic. Is the Fast Search Engine via Google in your sidenbbar on vb.org?

So many questions.. lol

[sticky]

I'll add this for a little bit, definitely going to annoy the shit out of my users after a while though.

How do I add this just to the CMS home?

The slow loading of my page is due to wibiya toolbar. The swf file is not more than 30-50 kb

For Fast Search Engine, I just get the code from google after customizing it, and added it as a html side block. that's it.

You're welcome.

You can fix it at top of your page,

Just change

position:fixed

to

position:absolute

Sorry, I don't have CMS

But, as general open the template of CMS home page and but the code before

Yes, use the following code:

<center>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/twibuttons/twitbutton_2.swf" width="150" height="100">

<param name="movie" value="http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/twibuttons/twitbutton_2.swf"></param>

<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="menu" value="false"></param>

<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="flashvars" value="username=XXXXXX"></param>

<embed src="http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/twibuttons/twitbutton_2.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" width="150" height="100" menu="false" wmode="transparent" flashvars="username=XXXXXX"></embed>

</object>

</center>

You can FIX it @ top of the page by give attribute to postion "absolute" Instead of "fixed"
or use it as a sideblock.
