ehh..just like the old proboard days, scarry *runs*
This actually might be very useful on my vbhome page...

Although you really should have just released it in the original thread..but I know..it's the whole fame ego boosting thing..

I've got a quick offtopic question about your avatar xware, why does that character seem like he's always coughing? whenever I see that avatar it always questions me...

I cannot get more then one line of a thread in the box where it says news. I type something like, this is the newsfader, i will be adding news here everyday etc, but only the first line shows up and the second line is scrunched and not viewable. How can I expand the data box so I can have about 5 lines of text? would also be nice to have a newsfader that can change from one set of text to another like the ubb news faders. is this possible?

another problem I have is I did a search for £ and it came up with nothing. when it announces the newest member it has that figure and another one in it before the members name. I am sure that must be in the fader.js but I can't find exactly where in there. I don't want to sound stupid but if someone can fix all this and re-up the zip file to make this hack a bit easier on all of us I, and everyone else would appreciate it very much. thanks

You can add a news as "test1 test2 test3".
Put it in one new.

The file is not need to be re-up or fixed.
You can figure you index.php file in this hack :

PHP Code:

$newsfadebits = "\"Welcome our new member $newusername\",\"\",\n";//you can figure in it

Is this version work properly under netscape? The first one was a mees in Netscape and I never found any workaround for this, all sites I've seen using this were a mess under NS... I don't care a lot, but some newbies still use this stupid browser.

xware, hank you very much for the help. that fixed my strange letters in the welcome new member, I'm still not sure what you mean by the test1,test2 part I know you are talking about adding seperate links so to speak, but how can I get more lettering in any one box? I tired expanding the box size from 30 to 70 but the actual text area itself still remained the same small size, do you have an example you can show me? thanks

Why is the area where text can be shown only....

---->        THIS   BIG           <-----

While the space on my bar is

---->                             THIS BIG                                          <--------

I dont have enough room and some words are being bumped to a second line which is really on top of my other text.

Any way to fix?

[scottct1]

I figured it out.

I edited the fader.js

I found

PHP Code:

FDRboxWid = 350; 


and made it

PHP Code:

FDRboxWid = 650; 


Works like a charm now.
