    I fear this new fangled invention will cause us to pass out p45.net very soon. Just under 6,000 to go.

    Yeh, but it doesnt work that way. On large threads, instead of putting you at the post you last viewed, it puts you 2 pages back, i.e. stuff youve already viewed.

    hmmm take it.

    Any chance of the board name on the ticker to be linked to the board itself?

    Well from what i've heard from ppl in college, p45 is on the slippy slope to achieving neither.

    IMO, its just a total den of inequity. At least with boards there is some intellectual stimuli from all angles with Useful information and discussion going on, not just moaning about your boss or that the bus was late this morning. Gluck to ya if want to hang around p45....Its a free country:rolleyes:, but it aint my cuppa;)

    Mkay, i tried to get it working. Really i did. In w2k, I right clicked on the taskbar, toolbars -> new toolbar... Entered in http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/ticker.php in the input box, clicked ok, and an error pops up straight away saying 'Cannot find "http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/ticker.php". Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.'

    argh. ARGH. ARGH.

    Just talkin bout this on webmaster bd....

    I just decided to put the ticker on the stauntonline weblog and am just wondering whether it would be possible to widen the width of the scroller. Possibly around the 600px mark??

    Also can the background colour be changed client side to assimilate with the users stylesheet etc.?? It looks a bit like a sore thumb ATM, but if I could change it then I'll keep it there:)

    You can see what it looks like here...

    just another quickie....

    what about including this in the head tag of the ticker page... 
    <base target="[b]window name[/b]">

    so that all the links open in the same window as oppossed to "_blank" 's all the time??

    80p ... we had exactly the *opposite* request when we launched it :)

    We're going to parameterise it soon:
    Bgcolor, width, subscribed forums y/n etc

    So you will be able to choose the boards you want to be trawled by subscribing to the boards you want in the userCP or on the board itself.

    Moriarty, thats dead weird, I'm running it on 2k and its sweet. Any further developments with it?

    Tom.

    Cool, I might take it off my site until then though.
    I'll keep it on the "@stauntonline.com" family e-mail login page though. They'll all be wondering whats goin on!!!

    Except to say its pretty sweet and I wish I had it during the summer in work...ticking along on the taskbar.
    As a possible suggestion, i just remembered how cool this was during the summer. Cricket4.com had a little app called "Desktop Richie" which streamed the updates from the Australia and England test matches. I dont know how difficult it would be to implement but it was very cool. Heres the link, http://www.cricket4.com/tv/richie.html , the proggie link is down the bottom.

    A possibility!?

    I can load it in IE, and I can get the front page of boards in a new toolbar, but i cant get the ticker.
    Is it because its "php" ?

    I didn't like the default width either 80c, so I sorted it;

    http://sleepygeek.org/stuff/ticker.php?width=pixels

    No other changes, except the "off" thing works now, I believe. Soon to be made useless by the next version Devore is working on. :P

    Phaxx... you want to help me?

    I havent written a damned thing about it recently as I've been mad busy and my PHP stinks.

    if you want I'll send you what we've got... would you be up for coding a few options into it?

    Ok, here's what I'm thinking:

    Url-options:
    1. Background colour (default white)
    2. Foreground colour (default black)
    3. Width (you've got this one done already it seems)
    4. Speed ?

    Also, similarly to the On/Off image, I want to do a third state of "Subscribed".
    So, by default its ALL public boards, click the image once and its all Subscribed boards and once more and its OFF.

    I have the code already for the subscription thing (myself and cloud have tested it too) so all thats needed is the linked image.

    What do you need from us to do this little lot?
    I can promise you only beers and my thanks for this.

    DeV.

    I still cant get this working :{
    Win2k, sp2, ie6...
    i do the instructions ...
    Right-click on your Taskbar and go to toolbars->new toolbar

    Type "http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/ticker.php&quot; without the quotes in the location box

    Click OK
    But when i click OK i get the following error..
