I'm sorry jblazer, your script did not work, and damaged my friend's forum.

Anyway, i was able to restore his forum and this took almost 2 hours of brain storming 

I've submitted my original mod again, with the recommended changes in language files only. The results are 100% OK the Scroller is working perfectly. 


Thanks to all.
