Guys I JUST figured this out so I figured it'd let you guys know how Wink
So here...We go.

It HTML ... *THESE CODES GO BEFORE THE WANTED TEXT*

Add this
Code:
<MARQUEE BEHAVIOR=SCROLL>
To make your text scroll out and in across the area.

Add this
Code:
<MARQUEE BEHAVIOR=ALTERNATE>
To make your text go back and forth.

Credits:

ME! Wink

Thanks,
VeXeD

P.S. You need to add </marquee> after text as closure..=)!

NOTE:
The html marquee code can be used in the header, footer, portal block area of your forum. 
It will only work in a forum post if posted by you, the Administrator , using the html tags:


Code:
[html]
place marquee code here
[/html]

I thought I understood it, but alas I do not.

I understand that I type <MARQUEE BEHAVIOR=SCROLL> before the text I'd like to see the moving effect in.  But I'm obviously missing something since none of this is moving.

 Huh

You have to add a closure to it.
After the text you want scrolled put  </marquee>

This site has a marquee tutorial on it.   It shows you the attributes you can use when doing a marquee.. things like how to set the speed of it,   set it to go right, left, up, down, etc. but you have GOT to close it with </marquee>
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/_MARQUEE.html

or this one which is much easier to understand:

It was the closure I was forgetting.  Thank you very much ma'am!

And thanks for the marquee tut as well.  I've been scouring them a lot of late.

I came across a very simple one ages ago and can't seem to find it.  Will let ya know if I ever manage to dig it up again.
Ive had this site bookmarked for several years now - it does show how to do a marquee on it as well (a ways down the page)  http://cedesign.net/help2j.htm

edit:  found the one I was looking for:  http://www.lissaexplains.com/fun3.shtml

All you have to do to make text move in a forum post is use the BBCode Button for it.. put the text between the tags.    see attached picture

(please dont do it all over the Support Forum)
