The Scrolling banners.

I know this is just me being selfish.. but.... can we only have 1 scrolling thing? WinXP EATS RAM for dinner.. so... both going slows me down to a crawl........ Damn you XP! Kaiser Erik of Shireroth.Duke of BrookshireNot dead yet...

You could have one marquee with two lines, it'll probably take less space.. ZirandorthelThe Golden DarknessNiirus Tinenetuwar"In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God."-Stephen Braveheart

I wouldn't have thought than an extra line of scrolling text would make that much difference, to be honest, although maybe, on my smugly powerful machine, I don't notice..

When I go to XP again.. *shudder*I'll check.... Kaiser Erik of Shireroth.Duke of BrookshireNot dead yet...

[Kaiser Erik]

Why'd you split the banner again? Kaiser Erik of Shireroth.Duke of BrookshireNot dead yet...

[Phoenix the Risen]

'cause I thought you had stuff working...and 'cause I was updating it too...Do you need me to unsplit it again?I mean... my computer is halza old and crappy, and it can handle it fine... and this board is just a forum... not like you have real time graphics that you need to react to... and isn't there a setting to turn off the marquee tag entirely?

[Zirandorthel]

Well, I personally thought it looked better unsplit, plus there's this little thing which annoys an compulsively neat person like me. When you pass the mouse over the top line, it starts going faster than the bottom one, and they end up being uneven ZirandorthelThe Golden DarknessNiirus Tinenetuwar"In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God."-Stephen Braveheart

[Phoenix the Risen]

they're not supposed to be even... the top one is supposed to be going faster than the bottom one anyways... and if it's two lines, then if one line is longer than the other, you have to wait for the longer line to finish scrolling before you can see the bottom message againI put them in two lines by subject, so that if you're interested in the political announcements, you can look at the top line, unhindered by the bottom line of cultural announcements and minor happenings...and vice versa.Oh, and if anyone wants to put an announcement in either, just post in the ministry of the interior... aka this forum... and I will take care of it...otherwise, i will just pick out the things I think either a) people need to know (top line) or b) people may be interested in (bottom line) Phoenix the Risen - Dutchess Pro-Tempore of Kildare; stand-in for Gryphon the Pure - Political Nuisance but at least She gets the job done. - Official Genkher of Gryphon Avocatio's Cool Short Sig and Gryphon the Pure's Awesome Tables! - "To quote a former Kaiser....

the Marquee tag was built for IE, so it -should- work better thereupon...

Slow in Mozilla firebird on XP for me.. XP blows..I think we need to optimize it. If you can do that without losing having 2... go for it. if not... go down to a single 2 line one.. sorry.. Kaiser Erik of Shireroth.Duke of BrookshireNot dead yet...
