You may have noticed that I am mostly through developing our own ticker site : http://tickers.livingchaos.co.uk/

If you look here (for example) it defaults to showing 5 backgrounds and 5 sliders, and then you can work your way though the 'pages' looking at the rest.

Question : Would rather show more on the first page, say 15 or 20, and then have fewer 'pages' to work though?

I'd prefer more on the first page too - it took me quite a while to look through them

OK - have increased, but the sliders need to be the same width, else it gets confusing.

I think that tickers always look better when the slider is bigger than the background, so

What do you all think?

And also, whilst you are all busy not answering the previous question, do you like the backgrounds and sliders for the Driving Test Ticker?

I have added more sliders and got rid of a load of crap ones.

Everything apart from the Weight Loss one should be working fine.

Feedback welcome :)

And of course, you are welcome to use them on other forums you may use :P

Following on from the other thread re: the tickers, would some of you like the ticker to simply say how many days are left, whether that be 5 or 500 ?

I'm trying to put a ticker on my profile but they all seem to be longer than 3 lines and so it won't let me upload them!

Even the one from this topic went over 3 lines.

Is there a simple explaination? Am I just being dim?? :blink:

I just added a test one to your signature, it was only one line.

Replace that with the code you get from Ticker Chaos.
