if you remove dhe background-color form css codes you will have a transparent bg.

But I have another problem because I have 2 tickers it looks 2 times so I have another ticker under one.

lycheepassion · #59 06-02-2011, 03:58 PM

i installed as you said but i dont see it!

lycheepassion · #60 06-02-2011, 04:30 PM

Works now must take a few mins - does it show on home bc it wont for me?

Neofate · #61 06-03-2011, 12:25 AM

I PM'ed this -- But how can I make this mod appear JUST on my main page of forum index?

IE: http://www.siteurl/forum/

And nowhere else.

If I have to move it around a little up there for a template to put the code in that is different than navpane.. or somesuch that is fine.

Stator,.. or if any code savvy people might know, I'd like to know.

You might ask why.

The MAIN reason for me, is that it can be distracted while reading messages with the ticker and users have asked if it could be limited to the one area. They like it, just not everywhere.

Others in this thread have asked similar questions.

Seems fairly basic, would love some insight.

Thanks!
