The plugin is easy to use and works very well.For the “scroll mode”, I suggest you to make it “circular”, i.e. after the last ticker displayed, immediately restarts the queue without waiting for the first one to have completely disappeared.

I’ve tried a few news tickers and I’ve found T4B News Ticker the easiest to setup and to regularly update the message. Setup on one page makes it easier too.

Plugin doesn’t work. Read all the support threads and in all of them the support person always want access to the customers back end. Not something any support for a plugin would ask for right out of the gate. Their website is a scam. It’s for some webhosting company but they don’t have a working contact page or email. The only way to get support is through this forum. There is a working plugin for a news ticker called Live News.
