Ok to all those having problems, let me just tell you I haven't really had time to respond recently here, so I apologize.
The hack works as documented just fine on 6.05, and earlier verions. If it doesn't work you aren't following the directions carefully enough. Trust me on that, it DOES work. Re-check all of your work.
With regards to width issues. At least 15 people have emailed me asking how to get the fader to work as a percentage, like 50%, 100% of a table cell. It CANNOT BE SET to work like that, it has to be set by character length. That's not my doing, that's just how the fader was written.
Also the reason the news is written as .txt is because I planned to use it as an SSI on my site at some point, so it is done that way for my own benefit. So if you don't like it that way, feel free to write it into a variable file, but I'm not going to be doing that.
