Hi all,

I'm looking for a module that could be used to store various tips and messages and display them randomly in a banner on the page, content changing either on a timed basis or each time the page refreshes.   I suppose we could just use a text or banner module and have someone update on a routine basis, but if the functionality is out there to load with content ahead of time this would be ideal.  Can someone point me to a module that might do this, or give me an idea of what you might call this kind of functionality and I can do further research?  I hope I am describing this need well enough.

Bob,
You could use Form & List for this if you want a new random tip each time the page refreshes. Create a calculated column for sorting with a calculation of: convert([ticks:now]%UserDefinedrowID,System.Int32)

Thanks Mike, this sounds like what I'm looking for.  I don't have this module installed yet, but I will give it a try.
