The GFY Ticker is ready for your obsessive board viewing pleasure.

-Thanks to Mike69 and Lensman for the official go-ahead!
-Thanks to asuna, digihax, and AndyP for help in debugging and testing on XP!
-Thanks to Amp for the idea in the first place.

here is the installer: http://www.codegreen.org/gfy_ticker_setup.msi
(notice it is not an exe you paranoid fuckers)

All I ask is: if you like it and use it, give me a good traffic trade or a paypal donation, and give me lots of feedback in this thread on possible bugs you catch or features you'd like to see in the next version.

New features include:
-horizontal or vertical scrolling
-winamp style skins
-much faster download and parsing algorithm
-fast forward and rewind
-lots of settings to tweak
-resizable
-always on top option
-scroll speed setting
-font size setting
-Time between refreshes
-TOTALLY FREE
-no ads of any kind
-shouldn't have any install errors on any decent pc

------
A little history:
-Amp's suggestion: http://gofuckyourself.com/showthread...ghlight=ticker

-First release: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...ghlight=ticker

-Second release with MrPopups Drama:

Good idea, and an easy feature to add...

Originally posted by PureMeds

Also an easy one, although for now the keywords would only be in the subject line. Im not currently parsing the body of the threads.

I could add either a keyword list that triggers a popup or other indicator and an optional sound...

Good stuff, any other ideas?

I never quite understood the use of ignore. Do you hate somebody so much that you don't even want to know what they are up to? I like to keep my enemies under close observation.

Fucking cool.....it would even be cooler if you could get rid of the
colour scheme in the htm file.....the white with black is hideous.
Maybe the same colors as GFY? Or in the next version where
users can chose background, text, link colors themselfes?

Anyway it rocks!

Thanks man! See the power of suggestion...

Now if you powerful board whores and the BP4L family would just help me brainstorm and promote a couple of porn-related killer apps, I'd be happy to do all the development work and cut you in.

Matt, I don't really understand what you mean? I could easily turn on an XML output from this thing, but I'm not sure what you would do with such a file. What are you interfacing to? I'm open to suggestions if they make sense!

also, not sure if this was suggested, maybe there should be an option to define how many threads to display.

Actually I had that in there, but took it out because I figured whats the point in a ticker if you are not looking at it, but I know sometimes you gotta get that shit off the desktop for a while.

Good suggestion, I know the HTML part looks like shit especially compared to the skin.

I could have that all configurable just like the fontsize is right now.

Hey gornyhuy I installed the ticker it was working fine and then I closed it out. Now when it loads it stays maximized it wont let you adjust size of it. So if you know what might be going on hit me up on icq.

I don't like that it opens a new window everytime. It'd be nice to have an option that makes it open within the existing GFY window if the user so desires. Can that be done?

I love it.

But yes a feature that popups a window alert to keywords in titles and/or message bodies would be cherry.

I also am annoyed the threads open in a new window.

But I still love it.

Actually transparent might be an option, though I'm not much of a graphic guru.... Amp? Voodoo? help me out here....

As far as the skins go, maybe I'll have a skin contest and the top 10 will get bundled in with the next version, or something like that.

I feel the love people.
I'll definitely do another version with all these suggestions in it.
But, Jesus I'd be a lot more motivated if somebody would step up with a fucking trade or donation. What am I? Mother Theresa?

MSI = Microsoft Installer File. Works only on windows machines. If you are on Mac, sorry... I know Mac is the best thing since sliced bread, but in all honesty it only represents <5% of the market. No kidding. And this thing IS free.

If you are on an older windows machine, you can get MSI support from the Microsoft website. Just search for Microsoft installer on www.microsoft.com

Thats what I got is windows xp and I had the same problem. It would not install right gave me a error of some sort. I just redownloaded the file and it installed corretly. Then I closed the program and reopened the file and cant take it off of maximized, it stays full screen all the time. How can we fix this?

Shit, you are right there is a maximize problem of some kind.

I'll fix it in the next version, but in the meantime its easy to fix on your own:

right now, the maximize button toggles between truly maximized and simply really big but still movable. So what you do is get it in the 'movable' state, grab the top bar as low as you can and scootch it up so that you can see the bottom right hand corner of the window. Then go down to that corner and resize the window to a smaller size.

No problem!

Next time you load the app, it should be in new size/position again.

No, I cannot get it to work, and I haven't found anything on microsoft's site for XP. I click your link and just get a bunch of gobbledygook. Guess I'm not destined for a ticker hehe.

Installer 2.0 is the version you need, works on Win2K and WinXP, but it comes pre-installed on XP so I don't know why you don't have it already.

Here is the download site from MS:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DCA8F#filelist

Its down at the bottom of the page.
Good luck!
