This kind of web design is no longer used. It is annoying and half the time when I do try to read the announcement I can't because the first half is off the screen. At the very least keep it stationary. If you're hurting for space, make a dedicated box on the page for announcements of this type. Make short headlines that we can hover over (or click on) for more details.

Also, the welcome page says " Welcome back...." Could someone please code a proper non-breaking space? The problem is the ampersand is being translated into it's html entity code (&) which creates   thus breaking down not so gracefully.

We plan to address this issue in the redesign of MyBSA over the next 6 months.

Okay, my comment got displayed incorrectly. The second paragraph should read:

Also, the welcome page says "&nbspWelcome back...." Could someone please code a proper non-breaking space? The problem is the ampersand is being translated into it's html entity code (&) which creates   thus breaking down not so gracefully.

If we keep the scrolling banner can we at least have a setting to pick the speed. I know I am not the fastest reader in the world, but the the banner crawls soooo slowly -- it is annoying to wait on it to read the message.

If this idea is completed then why is the scrolling text of death back?

Log into MyBSA and text scrolls along the top using the following code:

[marquee style="color::#000099;" scrolldelay="175"]
The newest training course for all volunteers, "This Is Scouting," (replaces New Leader Essentials) is now available on the E-Learning center on MyScouting.org.
[/marquee]

Please ban the use of the marquee tag.
