It's up to you to choose the best way for you, choose "Yes" to use the old '<marquee />' tag, or "No" for the new technique.

Thanks,,

There is an error when extracting zip file, please update.

thanks.

You're welcome :).


It DOES NOT has error, but it seems you're extracting it inside a long path on your system, that's appears from the error message you've.
Try to extract it on a short path like a drive's root for example or whatever.

Would love to see it in action, any demo please? :)

Love the Mod! Thank You Very Much! Now I do have a request, how can I make the Marquee Longer? I am using it to display posters of new released and hot movies on my web site http://freeonlinemoviesforum.com and the posters are 110x160. The first and last poster are overlapping a bit.

Thank you,

Ive been waiting for somthing with more capabilitys it here it is.. Thanks.. *Installed*

I have installed it, but overlaps text at the end of message, similar to the problem kalisekj is having with images.

You can install it & see it in action, if you don't like it simply un-install it! :rolleyes:
You can review also other users' websites that have installed the product ;)

:up:



You Are Welcome :).



You Are Welcome :).
It should work but with simple modification, I'll test it & give you the "How-To" soon.


It's working very fine for me, I don't see any overlapping on your forum (tested with FF 3 & IE 8 & Chrome 2 & Opera 9.6). Please try to describe your problem in details or give it a screen shot.


Sounds good, You're welcome :).

xactly wat i was lookin for.... installin now...thnx

Quick question, for message content do we have to use html tags or bbcode?
i wanna put some links with different colours plus bold text

is it possible?

Tafreeh absolutely doable WITH HTML Coding Only ;) Example : <a href="http://freeonlinemoviesforum.com"><FONT color="#000000" size="2">text you want displayed</FONT></a>

Example of overlapping, it appears to be related to screen resolution users have or screen size. But it obviously has a limit set in which the text or pictures will start overlapping. I would like to be able to add in like 10 more Posters. So I can Have top 20 Movies :D

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/08/11.jpg

Currently it supports PLAIN TEXT & HTML CODE.
But the next version will support BB Code Parsing & additional new features :), it will be released soon ;).
Any suggested features are welcomed ...


I see, let me check it with low resolutions & long content & tell you how to fix it ...

Here is a screen shot of text being overlayed, this is Firefox 3.5.2

Attachment 103708

I am also using firefox 3.52 , great mod you have created, we just need this tweaked and resolved and I know 10 other sites that will install it. Seems they always rely on me to be the beta tester. LOL

i m having the overlapping issue too... can you please fix it asap
thanks

This is one awesome and very versatile Mod, Def Mod Of The Month Material, WooHoo! Can't Wait for the fix so I can nominate it.

kalisekj, can you show the html code you used to display your clickable images that have border around them?

Like this but for images instead of text:
<a href="http://freeonlinemoviesforum.com"><FONT color="#000000" size="2">text you want displayed</FONT></a>

I'm having overlap issues too and im using the Latest Firefox.

I discovered that it starts overlapping when there are more than 100 characters. This should help you find the solution.

This is fricken awesome :D

Would love to see option where I will be able to display different scroll in each forum (or few of them)

Please do tell us how to fix long content with low resolutions(overlapping)

Thanks for this great mod

Sure Here is how I added Images presized and uploaded to tinypic.com .

Thank you very much kalisekj it worked. However, I ran into the over lapping issue as well. Hopefully that will get worked out but either way it's a very nice mod!

Thanks a lot for that AddOn,

i waiting that !!!!!!!!

Hi again

a small (very small think)

can we reduce the space between Marquee and forum start and make same as navbar nad marquee ???

Not sure whether it's somehow related to the styles but I found on one of my sites this mod :

Did not work in I.E8
Caused firefox 3.5.2 to freeze and crash. (worked fine when I turned the mod off)
Worked fine in Chrome ..

On another site it was fine in FF & Chrome, but still no joy with IE8 ???

I was having fun with this one until a few members reported that it was causing their Safari browsers to hang up.

Had to uninstall it for now.

I have mod installed and running, im wondering if it can be modified to pull members album pictures instead of adding them individually if some one would like to use it for that. willing to pay coder also for this modification system.

Very nice, thks so much !!!

here again, can i use a vbphrase into?

i try that and not work
also i try
can somone help me ???

As stated this is a very nice mod. While waiting for a over lapping cure I thought of a few add-ons that might be nice if they were added in the next version.

1) Have a default image display setting for all added images. If I were to add various size images but yet they all displayed in the same size it would be nice.

2) Have the ability to run multiple/random messages. (sorta like a ticker does)

Btw, I would gladly pay to have these 2 add-ons in this current mod with the over lapping issue cured.

I agree that this is a wonderful mod! I haven't installed it yet as I see that there are issues with the overlapping. But, has anyone tried to add a slim transparent image to the front and back of the pics to avoid the overlapping?

I agree with psychobike about setting a display setting for images! :up:

any chance to include a dynamic source (i.e. RSS feed) instead of manually inserting the text?

installed, only showed message title and no text or images useing proper html codes. uninstalled for now.
