Live example:
Video Game Chat
If i am correct there is/was a plugin for this.
Nevertheless. Good tut, many will find this useful, who can't FTP/.
One thing that I'm interested in adding to it is another table row to add a show/hide all affiliates like the one seen on this page
http://brawldomain.com/ but I can't quite make the new table row without it looking messed up. Also, I can't quite figure out how to add collapse to a new table row (<tr>). Any ideas?
For those brainstorming with me about this... here's as far as I managed to get with it.

</td>

<font>... <marquee>... so you want destroy the (X)HTML compatibility?
otherwise: nice work.
The one developed by Samauel (Old username ethernet) is quite affective I suppose
There's nothing wrong with marquee and it helps if you have alot of affiliates
*changed the <font> to <span class="smalltext">

His has a limitation of only 8 affiliates... With the marquee, it stops when the mouse enters the affiliate box to pause it incase a user has a particular interest in that affiliate.

<marquee> isn't part of the (X)HTML specifications and it's not supported by all browsers.

There is a css attribute that works the same way as marquee as far as I remember, would be better to use that one instead
