[CB] Your News in Info Center v2

[boccy109]

This code will add a new section in the Info Center for a scrolling news ticker. You can have it named however you like.

From what I can tell, this code doesn't work with any code that re-models the Info Center (Ross's Info Center 101/102, Fusion Info Center etc..)

All you need to do is edit the bits in blue, and it's all done.


Edits:
May 18th: Decreased load time by making it execute only on the main page.
Thanks to Peter for the snippet in General Programming.
May 4th: Fixed the wrongly put class for the background of the news.
April 29th: Removed the HTML tags that change the text within the code, so the user can specify it themselves, if wanted.
April 24th: Fixed the small problem with blocky scrolling.
April 20th: Made it so you can have an image displayed to the left of the news.
