Although I do have News Fader installed, I would like to use the ubb_forum_summary.cgi approach, rather than the fader.js approach.
Now, I did try it.. But, it didn't work. And that's probably the very reason why you give the 2 different approaches. Unfortunately, my understanding of why.. is zero. Thus, the silly question.
Why do I want something so silly? Quiet a few of our users use Netscape or Opera. And fader.js does not load/run in either of those browsers and, of course, the clock doesn't load either.
