I dislike marquee's, they're as annoying as they ever have been.

It won't be so annoying when your domain is in there.

We are testing a few things today.

On my screen the letters all run together and stream (can't really describe it, but it's not legible.)

ahh.. that makes more sense!
Should make the BG of that row Black (or whatever color you will be using, DN colors on top of each other?) It would flow better and be less annoying.
Maybe more than one name/link sliding across.

Just a suggestion :)

When we are done the black will be solid and the text will slide only.

Marquees are very annoying.

Any chance of removing this for Exclusive Members..?

At least make it all the same color, and more like a ticker than a marquee.. Even so, I don't like things like this. Just looks cluttered.

You know it will have some of your names in there and link to posts.

For some reason I am in an area of the country that seems to lag behind in updates on ther internet. I still see the old header.

I look forward to seeing it especially if it is ticker style for selling domains and allows people to go directly to the sale.

This is a big step in the right direction for this industry. Congrats in advance for raising the bar Adam.

To me, tickers/marquees have always been annoying and always will be. It might be nice to see one of my domains there I agree. But I almost never sell domains, in fact I almost never buy domains here either and it's been months since I have. That's a different story however.

Will a marquee affect search engines or are they ignored? If they are ignored then you're doing it for members only so I'd say leave it to the members. If you're doing it for search engines then it would be a good thing.

Well, the background being black was what I didn't like mostly. It looks much better now, but I have some ideas for making it even better.

One thing you should do is code it in javascript, so it is a continuous loop instead of a normal marquee. It would also be less choppy that way. :)

Good suggestion. I also suggested the results be random, so you don't keep seeing the same 4 names all day.

Or an option to turn it off in profile?
If not, Make it flash so we can use adblocker to rid of it? I allready blocked 99% of the images on DNF, Something like the marquee which we CANT remove is just bad :(
