i have no text either...
when i looked in the fader.js file
i noticed

FDRgifSrc = "images/fade.gif";

i looked in my images dir and could'nt find fade.gif

i have vb 2.0.1

i added some news in admincp and it works right, but if a new member registered, all my news are away!?!?!??!

it works on VBB 2.03 i think...
but when i open index.php I see the newsfader, but it hangs at:

Welcome our newest member Admin

(Between «member» and «Admin», there are the pound-char and the degree-char)

then it stops
it doesn't fade then anymore... how is this possible???

works now :)
my fault, i didn't gave up a end-time (you must, otherwise it sets it to 1969-12-31!)
but still, how can I get rid of that ?pound-char? and that ?degree-char??
where is it saved? i searched through newsfade.php and fader.js, but couln't find it! :(

Yeah I got that too - does anyone know how to get that fixed?

It's in the code that you added to index.php .

I have this hack installed without a problem, except the appearance. First question -- how do I set the $newsfadebits to left align? It has quite a bit of blank space in front of the message and I can't figure out why. The actual announcements start exactly where they should.

Secondly, no matter what I set FDRboxWid at, it seems to wrap around at what appears about 300 or 400 pixels. Worse yet, when it wraps, the 2 lines overlap each other. I've set FDRboxHgt as high as 100, but it doesn't appear to change the height of the text box. I also took height=30 out of the forumhome template, hoping that it would automatically adjust as needed.

Thanks for a great hack and any insight into these minor problems that I'm running into! I have it installed at http://www.babyuniversity.com/forums/index.php

This hack worked fine but would crash the the browser on anything lower then IE 5.5, worked fine on Netscape though...just a warning!

IE5 closes when i enable the fader :( Could some one help me with this?

funny, coz i have IE 5, and it works normal...
