How did they do this ticker!?

I can't find the hack! I've searched for about 1/2 hour. Does anyone know what hack it is (note that is JavaSript, hence not the marquee hack)? Thank you.

They probably wrote a PHP page that simply grabs the latest threads, and the JS they wrote themselves to scroll it.

However they did it, THAT IS THE COOLEST THING EVER for a main page :D

That would be such a great forum hack!

Actualy, they have it as a pop-up ticker that looks even cooler. Can be seen in http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb on "Open TiVo Forum Ticker". Maybe somebody should contact their webmastah and convince him/her to post the hack...

There is a hack like this. See here. All you would need to do is just customize the page to look however you wanted.

Should be fairly simple.

Dont even both. I am sure if they wanted to release it they would... and I always hate when people email/pm/im/or post on my forums for hacks I have

wluke's hack uses marquee and it meant for windows toolbars. Please read this thread again. As far as not asking for the hack, I personaly feel flatered when people ask for my code...

Wluke's hack may have been designed for toolbars, but can be used in a popup window.

but his hack doesn't hvae the neat features like play, etc and does it show the thread name? I thought that showed news headlines that faded (perhaps I am thinking of a different hack)

wluke's hack isn't really wluke's :)
