in the phpbox when it is displayed.

Line 18 is

if($scroll) output_temp .="<marquee direction=up scrolldelay=$delay scrollamount=$amount height=$height ";

Resolved this. The code on page 2 seems to be missing a $ symbol

Code Select Expand

if($scroll) output_temp .="<marquee direction=up scrolldelay=$delay scrollamount=$amount height=$height ";

should be

Code Select Expand

if($scroll) $output_temp .="<marquee direction=up scrolldelay=$delay scrollamount=$amount height=$height ";

now just need to get it display my feed.

Great piece of code URPG kudos on that.

Got a question though. Both the title and description is being posted atm. In the description text I often have URLs. Only those are not clickable. Anyone here know a solution to that problem?

Is it possible to have the block filled with text, and then begin scrolling?

Because right now, the block is empty and then scrolling begins.
