It works only in 10 point and unbolded text, you can use colour. I take that if you change the default text under advanced it may accept it but then all your text may well be 16 points and readers would not like it. As a suggestion if you want bigger text, you could always use a swf banner such as Swish or get innovative with using Gallery Object with the wording saved on a Jpeg/png and create a visual effect with timing and effects. You could always use HTML code for tickers if you want it larger, such tickers as Ocean. Is it a bug .... well I don't know ..... tickers are meant to be a small font size.

If you need to say something more using the right scroll think about linking some of the words to a website page which will allow interest from your ticker line and content within your website. Do remember to increase the time to allow person to click on the link.   If 7 secs you will be unable to clcik on the link within the scrolling ticker line.

The marquee is there for the reason its meant to be and we should be able to make it any size we want to, and as for "readers would not like it" well thats not for us to decide is it, if we are asked to make it a certain size then we will and should be able to.

We shouldnt have to make a flash banner or anything else if the option is there, which is was and it worked well in V8.

The whole point of this software is to make building sites simple, which this doesnt if we cant use it the way we used to be able to do in V8.
