Hi, I hope im posting in the right section, I have read all the forums and have found a solution to my problem with the marquee code:
<marquee behavior=scroll direction="left" scrollamount="4" width="80%"><font color=FF0000>Private Admins Only</font></marquee>

when I run this I only get half the words! I get "Private Ad"
Have I done this right?

There is nothing wrong with the code, PistolKnight.

But it is too long for a Category Title field. And I guess that is where you are trying to use it.

Use this code instead:

Code:

<marquee scrollamount="4" width="80%"><font color=FF0000>Private Admins Only</font></marquee>

It contains all the info it needs to behave as you want it to behave.

Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated and yes that worked, is there a way I can get it to stop on the left?

There is a way, PistolKnight:

Code:

<marquee BEHAVIOR=SLIDE scrollamount="2" width="80%"><font color=FF0000>Private Admins Only</font></marquee>

I have lowered the scrollamount to "2", because otherwise it will have reached the left side before your members have scrolled down to it, on the index page. And the marquee will be wasted, so to speak...

You can preferably also omit width="80%" to make the moving title visible for a while longer, before it comes to a hault on the left.

Code:

<marquee BEHAVIOR=SLIDE scrollamount="2"><font color=FF0000>Private Admins Only</font></marquee>

Note that you in both cases will be back to the limit of how much text that you can fit into the Category fields.

Again thanks for your help and quick response
