RockyZ, Create a sticky thread icon and use HTML code to display image before the informer entries. You can edit the informer template near the informer. You need some HTML knowledge to do that.

I have a problem with the Informer "Users who have visited the site for the current day" worked for a little time when i first implemented it, now its not working anymore. When i now Enable the Builder, the box with this informer is gone, only the Button to remove the Informer is left. So i delete it and created it again, but its not displayd and when i enable the Builder again, the box is gone again and only the Button left.

Thanks for your quick response. Yeah I just found out that I can actually use informers right after submitting the thread. But when I try to do it, it's pretty difficult to follow and explanations on the forum are vague. However, it's very clear that informers are used to display information/ etnries on two pages.
It says "select necessary module in the field with the pop-down list." So that module actually is the base of the informer. But how can I display it on the main page then? Should I use that code thing? Then what if i want to show every new stuf on the main page. should i edit that informer again and again? or the informer can be entered new entries separately
If the above hardly means senses, I have an example. There's a page let's say for movies. I put some movies in there. People go to the movies menu item and can watch them there. i just added 2 movies to the item. and iwanna display them on the main page cuz they're newest stuff/uploading/information.

---------------------------------------------
i don't want them on the side, don't want it as a menu item under the main menu. i want it ON the main page

First you need to create informers for all modules you are using and whose new entries you want to display on the main page. Then you should copy the codes of all informers (like $MYINF_1$), and then go to Page Editor -> Pages management -> Main page and paste the codes in any order you want.

I read the whole Thread, i only read about decreasing the font size if the line end is reached. so i hope this hasnt been asked yet:
It's Possible to set the Title Lenght. But you can set more things to Display then just Title. So it's possible to set the max Lenght for the other things of the Informer too?

Like in my Special Case for the $MESSAGE$: Filecatalog Informer

Code
<div class="cBlock2"><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="100%" class="infTable"><tr><td width="50%" style="font:7pt">[$DATE$]</td><td nowrap align="$right" style="font:7pt"><?if($MESSAGE$)?>[<a href="$ENTRY_URL$">$MESSAGE$</a>]<?endif?></td></tr><tr><td class="infTitle" colspan="2"><a href="$ENTRY_URL$">$TITLE$</a> <span title="Comments">(<a href="$COMMENTS_URL$"><b>$COMMENTS_NUM$</b></a>)</span></td></tr></table></div>

drunkenbird, there is no such setting or standard feature. As for coding in general - try to search Google.

Is it possible to have an informer which shows the amount of entries on a module?

GamesCenter wont grow unless you register! C'mon you know you want to

Mistory, your questions often surprise me. You are not a newbie but sometimes you ask such easy questions.

There is an Informer "Per module entry counters", it will show the number of entries in each module. If you want to count entries for one definite module just edit the informer template and remove unnecessary lines.

lochy, $message$ of an informer is not equivalent to $message$ of an entry, as far as I remember it shows the info from brief description.
