Need Shout-box widget to scroll

by jet1959mo September 13th 2009, 5:33 pm

I have Shout-box added to my widgets but, don't know how to get it to scoll. I don't want to use the built in chatbox.
It has a way to customize your own css but, don't know how to code it so it will scroll.

What do you mean by making it 'scroll'?

That makes the whole shoutbox box move left to right and puts part of the added code along with it, not scrolling the text up or down. I also had to remove the scrolling=auto part as I added it and it didn't work either.

I guess there needs to be an addition to Forumotion to be able to add a Shoutbox that allows scrolling text.

Hi jet1959mo,
You're using a shoutbox from: http://shout-box.com/
They don't have an option to auto-scroll text.
This has nothing to do with forumotion.

Search the web for a shoutbox that has "auto-scroll" Very good

Uh,
I have and all of the searches come up needing php and sql or java that cannot be used on pre-made websites.
Maybe I am not being clear. I am looking for a shoutbox, chatbox or whatever that will scroll the text just like our "Latest Topics"
I don't like the Forumotion chatbox because you can't customize it or put it anywhere on the page except top or bottom or resize it. If it were possible, I would use it.
