I have it below my other toolbar stuff, but the writing only takes up about a third of the space, is there any way to make the text take up the whole of the toolbar?

Where are these customisations?

Dead handy though! Thanx!

All I get is text on my toolbar that says boards.ie and if I right click on the ticker and click open in window I get what looks like the ticker but it runs over 10 lines and seems to be royally messed up.

This is what I get on the new window:

Yeah this is a great feature- anyone know how to fix this:

I am using Advanced Browser as default but the scrooling links open the pages with Internet Explorer- its not the end of the world though!

There is some code in there for restricting to subscribed forums if that's any good to you? ( link to /vbulletin/ticker.php?sub=true ).

Would you want a subscribed threads feature to just show subscribed threads, or subscribed threads and subscribed forums, or both? (personally I'd like the subbed things to show a combination. And the front page too come to think of it).

very nice job guys, just one little suggestion (im sure you're sick of hearing suggestions by now but anyway) i think it would be better if the taskbar was longer, maybe the full width of the screen, so there would be a whole line of text scrolling the width of the screen, i think it'd make it easier to read

a subscribed threads combined with the front page would be dead handy if possible

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/external.php?type=XML or http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/external.php?type=RSS2 might do the trick instead.
