Smachol, it is just done using a few images in a table... pretty easy to do.
As I remember you from my UBB days, if you want a hand, just let me know.

ukliam,

Thanks for the offer. And yes I remember you from UBB as well. You were always a great help and resource for information.

If you don't mind, I would appreciate you looking at my vB 2.0 Test forum and suggesting how I could go about adding the image borders. The URL is in my sig. Thanks!

I ran into a slight problem with this hack with RC2.

The problem is that I have a drop-dowm javascript menu that will not display when the Newsfader is running. The menu script is placed in the headinclude template which falls within the < head > < /head > tags with a slight "<body onload="init()">" placed in the header template. The Newsfader, of course, is in the forumhome template and falls wihin the < body > < /body > tags. Is it possible there's a conflict between javascripts when one is within < head > < /head > and the other within < body > < /body >?

When I look at the page source all of the code for the menu script is there, it just won't display.

Any idea how to make this javascript work alongside the javascript that placed in my headinclude template? (Unfortunately I had to disable this hack until I can get this sorted out.)

I've reinstalled this hack in the hope that someone can take a look at it and tell me why the drop-down menu isn't working when Fader is on.

Where are you Pef........??????????????????????????????????

Smachol has posted just what I came in here to post on. The newsfader java is crashing other java in RC2. Or at least it apprears so. The PM pop-ups do not work and Smachols java menu does not work with the Fader installed. With the fader uninstalled everything works again.

Any chance you could respond and maybe give myself and smachol some direction to what might fix this?

Note: Simply put. The fader works no matter what. No other java disables the fader. The fader disables everything else. At least from what I can see.

Thank You!

i have to ask 2 questions about it
1 : how do you change the background colour of the newsfader bar?
and secondly : It gets rid of "total posts" ect....is there any way i can just get this back?, i know it is the fader, but i want it in both

First, I'd like to apologize for the delay. Currently, I'm changing a department (from PC LAN to Internet Services

) in my company and I'm forced to limit my Internet access (just for a while). As soon as the final release of vBulletin is released I'll take a look at my hacks and I'll rewrite them ASAP. I have some new hacks in a progress and they need to be finished as well. So, please be patient, I need some time.

Thanks for heads up guys and again, I apologize.

Smachol: If you experience such as problems, I recommend to stop using News Fader. Also, feel free to drop me a message (if you have ICQ, take a look at my profile or email me. I can try to allocate some time and take a look at your site).
