Guys,

I seem to be having a problem with the NewsFader. I'm using version 2.1 on UBB 6.05 on an NT machine, and it won't show up. For example:

The news fader is turned on, it just won't show. Any ideas?

Damoclese: Thanks for the topics & count fix...It worked perfectly..

I got the news fader to "kinda" show up, the box shows up, but no text. Everything is installed right. No idea what to do.

the fix that Damoclese provided was CORRECT

this is EXACTLY what was wrong.

In the future, when experienced people install your hack, and they ALL complain about the same thing, how about taking us seriously next time instead of forcing someone like Damoclese to come along and fix the problem for you!!

DOH! Im so stupid. I tried updating my browser to IE 6.0, and now it works. Lmao! If anyone else had the same problem, just try that.

In the future, perhaps you will start coding your own hacks, and not be so rude when it comes to asking for help. I have no idea what hacks you are running, nor how your UBB is set up. I give you instructions for working on a non-modded board, and it's funny how 99% of the people had it working fine, but the 1% who don't come here and complain as if there is some conspiracy against them. Next time, here's a solution for you...don't install it, unless you know what you're doing. BTW, I have moved on to a 6.1 board, so if you're still using this hack on 6.0 and expect me to troubleshoot it for you, I can't anyway on this version.

Arg!
Wheneven I try to change the news, it always goes back to the Example News... I suppose the news I type isn't writing to news.txt or something. Help please?

darn, I can't get it working

I am having the same problem. I am using 6.05 and it isnt working.

ok, i have come up with a fix for version 6.05 (aftershock edition). This is for people who dont have the newsfader show up at all.

In Public_forum_summary.pl (templates) it says to replace:


with:



instead, just copy the



part, and paste it right above:


(located just below the place you were)


this is what the code around it should look like:



Hope that this helps and that you understand it.

Hi,

Some of my Forummembers say that they can't see links in the news with IE 5 or IE 5.5!

I've got IE 6 and it works. With NS it works, too.

So what could be the problem? Please help!

Bye
Dennis
