LOL. I just got rid of it. I thought it looked ugly. But if you guys like it and thinks its useful, I can leave it there. It will automatically rotate through the news items that I have posted.

Also, any good ideas for news items?

News?  We got News?  I usually glance at then get down to what I want to do so I hasn't really caught my attention that all fire much.  I do think it is worthwhile for things like it is currently set to, i.e., wanting Verizon employees to identify themselves for the employee project.

That would be a good use of it.  If through whatever source one hears of an upgrade or that Verizon plans on "crippling" a current feature that would be the place to have a news alert.  For example, when I had my RAZR V3M had I known the latest s/w upgrade would cripple being able to get ringtones/wallpapers I would not have gone into a Verizon store with the phone where they flashed to the latest and greatest and crippled my phone.

So as an alert mechanism it is good.

Maybe news about the phone, like if a new firmware comes out with a link to that thread.

I'm using Firefox 3 and now the banner is freaking out. Could you set it transition slow, its just flashing back and forth?

Are the news articles rotating for your guys? I don't mean the ones at the very top of the forum, I mean the new banner that was added...I just keep getting the MOTW article.

The news banner is freaking out.  I'm using IE7.

My vote - eliminate the news banner.  It wastes space and adds clutter.  Is there REALLY anything that urgent that needs dedicated space at the top of the page?  As far as updates/etc., those are clearly posted when they happen.  Heck, when we had the version 5 update we had to delete a ton of threads because of the duplicates.  So kinda hard for someone to miss the latest news when its happening!!

Ok I didn't realize it was messing up on IE. I use Chrome it worked fine.

Could you move this to the bottom of the page? I don't think it belongs at the top of the page

No, there is no option to move the location of it. Sorry.
