womble Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'm a little dissappointed that the so called breaking news in red near the top of each page on the forum is often several days old. That's hardly breaking news........ Just wondering if it will become more up to date in the future? IS it a direct link to the nation, is it up to them to keep the news more up to date, whoever it is should keep breaking the new stories as they happen as it's a great idea if only it was more up to date.

dantilley Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 It's an RSS feed from this URL http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/rss-1.html so not directly connected to The Nation I doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I wonder how many people signed up for the SMS service and if they get the same breaking news as we get above in the red???????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantilley Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I wonder how many people signed up for the SMS service According to this interview, "a few thousand". I suspect that may be a slight exaggeration though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 ^ Yes, well maybe george is cooking the books, I don't know. I guess its kind of like the amount of members here at thaivisa, the little counter says 90,000 or there abouts but clearly theres only a few hundred regular posters, i dont know how many of those numbers account for people like the WONG family and all the other twits that come into the thread trolling etc. Then theres the banned people etc, I wonder how many members there really are?

Lite Beer Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 The Red Ticker Tape is the sole responsibility of Thai Visa. It is still pretty new and under review. There will be minor changes in the near future. Thank you for the feed back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 The ticker is now showing less articles, now 6 instead of 10 items, so it should be more fresh. We have also slowed down the speed of the ticker as requested. You might need to refresh the browser with CTRL-F5 in order to see the new version. Thanks for the suggestions!

Jingthing Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I would like the option of turning it off completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantilley Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Looks better. Minor point, but the current headline about the Clockwork Orange thing partially disappears behind the Google search form. Perhaps worth bearing in mind for the future that shorter headlines are better, or make it so that the two areas don't over lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
