As a work-around, I simply elected to reduce the event time to 1 second, and chose not to leave the "greeting" field blank in the CP->News Fader
Additionally, if the 1 second setting is still too ong for you (actually about 2 seconds), you can always go into the code in public_forum_summary.pl and changed this code:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var delay = parseInt('$vars_news_fader{nfspan}') * 1000;
Change 1000 to what you need to make it right... 1000 milliseconds is default... If ou cut it down to 500, then you'll be right at one second total...
Also, if I jump in here:
<td width="100%" height="49" align="$vars_news_fader{nfalign}">and change the "height" value to 32, I get exactly two lines of text without the cell visibly "growing".... This is especially useful when folks pop up a "less than maximized" window (width), and causes even the shorter headlines to double up.
Also... The
var tcolor = "$vars_style{CategoryStripColor}";still hasn't been changed to:
var tcolor = "$vars_style{CategoryStripTextColor}";yet in the download file in the first post.
I think that's all I had to change.
I like this hack...
Here's my board if you want to see it:
TurboFord.org PS - I am using the fader.js in Brett's zip, and it seems to be working fine.
