thanks

he updated my script! oh my! lol...

Okay, I made a couple minor changes to get rid of the news fader name and added the $TBT and $TBB around it but even before I did that there were some issues. If you look here you'll see what I mean. It fades in but doesn't fade back out. I also turned the news image off in the CP but it's still there and it jumps around a lot. Any ideas?

lol thats a great error! if it wasn't for mozilla i'm sure it'd still be using the original java...

Yeah, I'm gonna tweak it to see what I can do. What about colored fonts? When I assign a color it gets more funky.

Not a clue, with any luck brett made a change log of everything he did hehe...

I removed it for the time being, I'll put it up on a test board to see what I can do with it. It's close but I liked the colored text in the old one but I use Opera most of the time now so that one wouldn't show up.

cool

the color is hardcoded into fader.js You'll have to tweak the rgb colors to make it look fine for your color scheme. I would really like it to take the colors of the cells it's in.

I realize that the colors are hard coded, but the old version (IE only) did the colors and it looked great. I couldn't get this one to fade out, it just faded in. It just seemed a bit *off*. I've used a ton of code from DynamicDrive in the past and they have some great stuff.

the only way I found in this script to get defined colors to work involved getting rid of the fade part, so they just appeared and disappeared.

Hi,

can someone tell me, how I can get a break between newsfader and forums at the forums page?

After the news fader code;

Add;

That *should* do it.

Thank you very much Randy M

Hi, but now something with the newsfader table does not work...

http://www.ubb-test.board-world.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

What can I do?

I hope that brett knew everything currently worked for 6.6 minus the cp portions...

Of course i know that everything worked...for ie(and some versions of ns) only.

I haven't had much time to work on this as i wanted to. And since thanksgivings here, i probably won't get on it until friday, if i don't somehow get it today.

d-talk: What do you mean, does not work?

Hi Brett,

look at my site and watch the newsfader

http://www.ubb-test.board-world.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

The table of the fader is not correct

Look at the jpg...

in public_forum_summary.pl

change: <td colspan="$ColSpan">

to: <td colspan="2">

then

change: <td colspan="$ColSpan" bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor2}" class="darktable">

to: <td bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor2}" class="darktable">

then you'll need to clear your cache
