I think the tickertape is a good addition to the site.

I agree, I've moved this to News as that's the right place for it. Not sure where the news comes from, I'm sure murf isn't National news

It is a good addition but it could do with being clickable - I had no idea what the murf story was about.

Typed in by me on a new admin page. If I'm not about then it's not going to get updated though but will try and add important fantasy/fiso news (e.g. re murf & from the main injury thread) when I am. Anyone should feel free to message me with suggestions of relevant news.

Thought it would be a good idea to have such a scroll/ticker bar to help highlight news items so had fiso's developers add it.

As soon as the developers sort a small bug out it will be.

Had spotted the ticker but not my name. Am I injured?

Ddidn't spot this till I saw the thread, good idea, I like it.

Maybe you should put a date on somewhere so we know how up to date it is. Last updated or something similar.

Good idea but, some moans that could be addressed to make it better....

The messages are too long with the scroll speed, 3 lots of "...champions league match..." etc adds up

The ticker goes off screen as soon as you scroll down the page (I can't even see it now I've gone down to the reply box to type this) and the headers etc on FISO are massive so you can't actually read anything much on a thread before losing the ticker.

Every time you go to a new page you start from the beginning again so rarely get anywhere near seeing any of the latter stories about Baroncies etc.

I guess it would need to be in a seperate window above everything else to solve all this though

Messages will be shorter as soon as the bug is sorted allowing me to link to fiso webpages.

I like it. Good idea Trampie

Does anyone know when murf is back?

Conflicting reports as usual, it's unlikely he'll be as good as he was back in the pre-20k days.

Still not forgiven him for the notmurf thing while we were playing fantasy fiso poster.

Loving the new first item on the ticker:

"Nedved reckons....."

Also noticed they are clickable now Any chances of a murf launches FA Cup prediction comp

There should be a players twitter feed on the site. Would be class.

I reckon he can take the pressure.

Have added your promo.

Anyone else wanting to promote a fiso comp etc on the ticker just message me with the title and link.

Cheers Chris

Gawd, I never noticed the ticker before until I read this thread. Looks good Admin.

I just entered murf's compo after having seen it on the ticker

I was winning that before it got shelved. Typical.

Couple of minor suggestions:

1) The ticker isn't a continuous loop so even on a fairly small monitor it takes an age for the last message to finish before the first one comes back around.
2) Rather than saying "West Ham's Parker injured" could it say "S Parker-appendix (01/12)"? Saves as much space but is more instantly useful (this is a fantasy sports forum so we should be pretty up to speed with who people play for).

Just in case anybody got worried it is Noble who has been deappendicised much to my chagrin re an auction game

It was just an example.

Embarrassingly I went to the injury page to double-check what his injury was and then put in the wrong name.

Yay or nay on the idea though?
