Anyway, this works as a partial workaround in Firefox and IE:

copy below this line

marquee { height: 1px !important; width: 1px !important; background-color: #A0A0A0; color: #A0A0A0;}

copy above this line

• match both the color and background-color to what you use for your forum entry background-color (removes residual flicker).

At least, it works on the examples on this page. Lucifer_The_Dark's is squelched completely; pauljs75's is reduced to a static green bar (smaller in Firefox).

Ooh, I remember now - people were using the display:none tag to remove the forum announcement cell. The site owners didn't like the removal of part of their corporate layout (excuse: there's important information there ;-)).
