I've installed this, it's really cool. Thanks.

I've also updated my marquee tamplate as shown by stangger5 to include usergroups to which it is visible, until the updated version comes out.

However, just wondering about a possible future feature that might add tremendous value. What if rather than one long message, it was several independent messages that you could assign a hyperlink to to take you to other pages etc?

I amsure it's difficult and I've have no diea, but something like that would really rocket this into another level...

I have it up HERE, just basic right now, seems to work great for me, great hack!

[Diggazz]

I have intalled it

and it works well with FF and IE but my Opera users report that only half the text shows

The top half

ie draw an imaginary line through the text like a strike through and discard the bottom half. this is all they see.

Is there any way around this anomaly besides not using Opera

I apologise, i never really investigated this too much before I started posting. I have just realised that the message text box accepts html... so I can do it myself. It took a while but the penny dropped.

Sorry and thanks again for a great mod.

this Marquee system is GREAT no doubt on that but the only hitch is that the marquee's are usually quite jerky!!! which makes it very undesirable on the main page.

If you can incorporate javascript to make the scrolling smooth then this modification will turn out to be a pretty handy one for all forum admins.

just a suggestion.

thanks

If i don't want scrolling => how can i do that ??

[Mr. Bone88]

Excellent marquee system, great job! I was wondering if there is a way to add another marquee that can show different text and etc than the first one?

Thanks,

Very, very nice product... much better than the generic one I had on there... *Clicks Install* Thank you!

Is there any way to get the message to use PHP code? I'd like to use:

<? include 'http://www.mysite.com/random.php'; ?>

The random.php file then picks a random line from a text file.

Anyway, I've tried this a bunch of different ways and nothing happens...

Thanks,
