I know I'm doing something stupid here, but I've enabled the news ticker on my front page, and although it shows the text "News Headlines:", there is no rolling news coming up.

Any ideas what I've missed?

Have you published the news stories? Sounds stupid but easy mistake to make.

You have a problem on your page, you have an extra <body> tag which is starting the BODY section too early (in the HEAD section). View the source code of the page to see what I mean. The offending line is:

<body onLoad="javascript:__utmSetVar('no_report')">
I don't know what this is for, but it needs removing. It appears to be on every page, so I think it's in your template.

If you wanted to have an "onload" declaration on every page, there is a field for this in the Template Editor, under the Head Section field - called Onload Values.

Thanks Rich

This code was to exclude my stats from Google Analytics - I've obviously put it in the wrong place...
