@pyroSep 09.2003 — Something like this should do it for you... Just make an array of all the items you'd like to have displayed.

<script type="text/javascript">
text = new Array("PHP Rules","Web Standards Rule","Programming Rules");
document.write(text[parseInt(Math.random()*text.length)]);
</script>

@96turnerriauthorSep 09.2003 — hi thanks for the post ive had little luck building an array, lets say i want to display a b c d and e, if someone could show me how to build a working array, that would be great then i could edit it to show the real displays.

@pyroSep 09.2003 — My example above has the array prebuilt (line 2). Just change the values, and you're good to go...

@96turnerriauthorSep 09.2003 — just out of interest, how do you get a pic under your name, is that to do with you rank (how many posts youve sent)?

@pyroSep 09.2003 — No, the forums allow you to upload a custom avatar. Just go to your control panel, then to edit options. Down at the bottom there will be an option to change your avatar.
