Is this the same scroll images thing you made awhile back, <i>pebble</i>? That was one of my favorite things of all time. My members have missed it. I hope it is, I loved that feature, it was so unique. I still have the directions of the various openings and closings saved from before V5.
I do not know where to put that div instructions in the coding area.

Let me have another look at it tomorrow and refresh my memory about how it works etc.

Thank you so much, <i>pebble</i>. My members submitted photos of their pets or whatever and I cropped them to size and make a wonderful magical display. It was so neat how they opened and scrolled, closed and dropped down. One of the best additions I have ever seen on the web as an addition to a chat forum. I really think the members feel special because of it.

Hi JJ, It's working! There's a demo at <i>pebble</i> PluginsI've updated the plugin a little and added some inputs to the manage page to make styling easier. If you've already added your images, you can just update the plugin with this version : New versionOr, if you haven't, just delete the old one and import this version. Updating a plugin- Disable the old plugin (DO NOT DELETE IT).
- Download the new plugin.
- Import the new plugin to your site.
- You should be asked if you want to import settings, select yes.
- Check the settings & enable the plugin.
- If you're happy, you can now delete the old plugin.
I would recommend adding the : to the top of your Home template, or the very bottom, depending on where you want it to show.

Thank you very much, @<i>pebble</i>league. I never used the earlier plugin version, just your code, so I will get the new one.
Thank you for the instruction on where to put the 'div' thing.
Now I'm excited to get some new images together. I have a lot of new members to add to my slide show. Yippee!!

Hello JJIf I may add, this plugin has been implemented on my site for quite some time: linkand both of us was using the old code (v4) at the same time and commented on how nice that it was. Note: Just updated the plugin @<i>pebble</i>league and works like a charm!

Thanks for the link, @army83. Yours is very nice. The ones I use are photos or graphics and quite colorful, and also on the main page. So I will need to find a good combination that will work with the various themes. I'm looking forward to getting this back up again.

Holy cow, Batman (@<i>pebble</i>league) I installed this at my test site and it is so smooth! Wow is all I can think to say. I recognize the various versions of view from a few years back, so I am good with that. I also like that the back is transparent, that's helps a great deal if you have multiple themes.
I was hoping it would show up right below the menu buttons like before, and it did, so that was a happy dance moment for me.
I wasn't sure about the option of a new or same window though?
It's a great plugin, <i>pebble</i>, it feels like having my 'blankie' back. I have posted at my place alerting the members that I am bringing it back and asking for images to be added. I think they really like having their moment of fame at the top of the website. I know I get a big kick out of it myself.
Thank you very much, sir, you have really made me happy with this.

@<i>pebble</i>league, I have a question. Currently, it is only showing on the main page. I'd also like it to show on the inside of the board where the boards and threads are. Do I need to add that 'div' thing in other places to do that? Thanks.

Top of the Board template and top of the Thread template should work. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thank you very much, @<i>pebble</i>league. I admit I'm a chicken when it comes to messing in the Template area. Over the years, I have managed to crash my site many times. lol
ETA: Worked great, thanks, <i>pebble</i>.
