Place a scrolling marquee on navbar (header)

This is a very simple html code to place in your navbar but it's really cool!

Hack updated to version 1.5, now using phrases manager!

First, you need to create the marquee phrase, which you can edit it anytime you want using the phrase manager, goto:
Admincp >> Languages & Phrases >> Phrase Manager >> Add New Phrase
and add the following

Phrase Type: GLOBAL
Product: vBulletin
Varname: marquee
Text: *The marquee that you wanna display*

now open your navbar template:
Admincp >> Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >> *template* >> navbar

Find this code

</table>
		<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
		<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />		
		<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
		<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
		</form>
		<!-- / login form -->
			
		</td>
		
	</if>	
	
</tr>

Place under it

<tr>
  <td colspan="3" class="alt1"><marquee><span class="smallfont"><b><font color="#FF0000">$vbphrase[marquee]</font></b></span></marquee></td>
  </tr>

If you have already installed it, all you have to do is replace the navbar code with the new one that includes the $vbphrase[marquee]

This modification is included in the Shiny Black Skin by Staircase :

The skin comes with a scrolling marquee. You can either totally get rid of it OR
you can edit it.

To edit it, edit your templates in the Admin CP. Go to Forum Home Templates ?
FORUMHOME. Below $navbar, there is a code like this:

<table class="tborder" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tbody><tr>
	<td class="tcat" align="center">
        Notice from the ADMINS!
	</td>
</tr>
</tbody><tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_welcomepanel" style="">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" align="center" width="101%">
        <marquee>READ THE ANNOUNCEMENTS!! You could be banned if there is
        something important and YOU DON'T KNOW IT!</marquee>

		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
</table><br>

You can either remove it fully or you can edit:

        <marquee>READ THE ANNOUNCEMENTS!! You could be banned if there is
        something important and YOU DON'T KNOW IT!</marquee>

and:

Notice from the ADMINS!

if you want to change those.

you can use this:

<marquee scrollamount="5">Pink Floyd</marquee>

you can increase it to make it run faster or dicrease it to make it run slower
