Is it possible to do something about the <game name> Champion headers? People like (at the moment) Joanna and Baloosh have piled up so many of these that any thread with one of their posts in it is more than twice the size of my screen, and it's really annoying to try to read constantly scrolling back and forth. Stack them vertically, maybe?
On my screen they simply scroll, they do not show all at once. Perhaps there is an option you can check for it?
No, they don't scroll for me. Perhaps here's why: I checked the source for validity at http://validator.w3.org/check and it has 26 errors. The killer ones have to do with scrolling and are: Line 1262, Column 42: there is no attribute "width" . …div class="smallfont"><marquee width="120" scrollamount="3"><a href="arcade.p ✉ You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead). This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information. How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.

This error is often caused by: incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element), by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead). by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case). So, it appears that the scrolling code used is not properly matched with the DTD declaration. I'll try to look at this in my HTML editor to see if I can suggest the proper coding, but I presume the site maintainers could do it quicker than I.
Problem and pointer to fix The problem seems to be that the entire <marquee> tag is not proper HTML and only works in certain proprietary browsers. A solution which is claimed to be proper standard HTML and which implements the scrolling behavior is described here.
I just meant I was sorry for my post, cause the scrolling Champion titles are the problem Fritz is having.
Your post really didn't matter, because Ken already has one so wide that I can't see yours until I scroll about 3/4 of the way to the right.... In any case, I'm confident Sparky can handle it as soon as he gets a round TUIT.
Until I can figure out what's happening here, i've disabled that feature. Has anyone else here, encountered the problem fritz mentioned? I'm trying to narrow down exactly what is triggering the problem.
Feature back online, if anyone has any problems with those rotating labels throwing off the forum window please let me know.
