News bar for the forums

[Instrutilus]

Just a basical bar for news and updates. Basically this:
News is displayed

That goes up after a minute with another bit of news following

That news is displayed. Repeat.

This way, people who don't regularly check all forums can still get a quick lowdown on what's going on around the forums.

[Cyber Jet]

Seems like a very good and simple idea.

Would also display new news from Bulbanews?

But any ways I vote this UP.

[Instrutilus]

If whoever's controlling it wants, yeah.

[Shiny Celebi]

nice idea: UP

[Zekurom]

As long as it's not the same colour as the control bar as it is in that picture, I'm fine with it.

Having it as the same colour as part of the frame makes it look like you have a framing problem, which makes it look ugly.

(Not voting up or down, though. I don't really care too much either way, just giving my comments.)

[farewell, friend]

UP. It's an excellent way to get important updates to everyone.

[Iteru]

I like this idea, so I will vote UP. Is it built in to vbulletin? (Don't know much about newsbars...

I do think that a minute is a bit long though.

[Sollux Captor]

Sure, why not. Sounds good. UP

[Porygawn]

Really digging this. UP It would really help to point out news for the forums.

[Enzap]

UP

Could be useful in case people miss the announcements and stuff

[No Prophet]

we're looking into how to add this, but can't seem to find anything. anyone who can find how to add this will be a big help.

[Hallowheart]

Hmm, I'll look around for ways to add in a news update...

As for my opinion, UP. I always seem to miss when things happen and it's awful when you miss something concerning the rules and get in trouble 0_o.

[GoldeenTail]

This is so needed. I'm pretty sure this will catch attention more then announcement threads. Up for sure.

[Hallowheart]

I found something for it and PMed DCM about it =)... now we wait and gather more opinions!

[Shadow Raikou]

Up! Up! And Away! (lol)

This is very helpful i read the rules only once, forget to see recent news, this would be helpful.
