FTF scrolling banner

[+sherylss]

I have placed my first caches and a few have been found. I had thought the "Congrats, ------ for FTF" would be added automatically by the cache page program. Evidentally not. So what HTML codes are used for different FTF banners?

 

I have seen just a bold banner and I have seen the red scrolling banners.

<b>bold text</b>

<font color="red">red text</font>

<marquee>scrolling text</marquee>

<font size="+2">large font</font>

 

combine as desired.

<font color="red">red text</font>

<marquee>scrolling text</marquee>

<font size="+2">large font</font>

 

combine as desired.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, I used the red, bold, and +1 on the size. I might try the scrolling marquee on the next ones. Thanks again.

Please don't make it blink.

I've disabled the marquee function on my browser, because it's so annoying.

 

For Firefox, find the userContent.css file in your chrome directory. Add the following to the file:

 

/* Stop those <marquee> tags! */
marquee {
  -moz-binding				  : none !important;
  display					   : block;
  height						: auto !important;
}

 

Instead of the scrolling, you'll see all the message at once. The file should include examples on how to turn off blinking, and other hacks. Enjoy!

So I tried this. <b><font color="red"><marquee><font size="+2"> Congratulations to mikeinmojr for FTF honors! </b></font></marquee></font>

 

The result was Congratulations to mikeinmojr for FTF honors! Nothing special about the text... I've never attempted any HTML code, what did I do wrong? should I put all the code in one set of < > ? Thanks

For Firefox, find the userContent.css file in your chrome directory. Add the following to the file:

Another way is to create a new Boolean value called browser.display.enable_marquee in the about:config file and set it to false.

Of course, there is also another option......

 

That of not doing a banner at all!!!

 

 

IMO they are sort of cheesy, ya know

I agree with that. The FTF knows he's FTF and most other people really don't give a clam's patootie who the FTF is. No need to broadcast it, especially with an annoying, scrolling banner

I'll 'third' that suggestion. Personally, I think it's a bit tacky.

I'm not sure that lets you see all the marquee text at once. Don't have a ready example to test it on, though.
