The instructions for setting up this module are very short. Which is excellent because it is so easy.
Modify one xml and one php file to create the positions and then publish two modules in the correct positions and bingo. Less than 5 minutes from scratch. Thanks you very much.

It works great!!! Easy and very customizable, great work!
This is a great extension and does exactly what it says. I too had issues with the blank window, but you must ensure that you follow 100% the instructions and make sure that you name the modules exactly as per the instructions given (e.g. Floater Newsflash).
Great job guys!

Does what is says, thank you for your fine work!
I would give a 5 stars score to this module if it worked. Previous reviewers are correct about the documentation as it is very poor. I also tryied the trick from the previous reviewers (creating section & category named float/floater) but it did not work. Still blank box floating. I hope the creator to fix this issue and make the module more user friendly.
The instructions are good, but not great. I too created a "float" section and "floater" category. Additionally in the R3D settings, the module name should be "newsflash" (not mod_newsflash, which is what was throwing me off).
I wish I could configure this module to appear after a user has been on a page for a few seconds or more...

The instructions were poor but once it got working. Amazing!
For those of you who followed the installation instructions and are now struggling with an empty white box; Try creating a section "float" and a category "floater". In the module parameters of the "Floater Newsflash" you already created set the category to "Float/Floater". Lastly create and publish an article using the section "float" and category "floater". That's what worked for me and it was worth a donation!

This module works perfectly to show an empty box with a nice sliding effect.
Who can find any sens to this module with the lack of instructions to put content in the box ? Gougle is full of message of people lost whith this problem, for years now.
Worse, the module do not look like saving my settings, i was obliged to overwrite with css !
Do not waste your time with "this pain in the ass"'s addon.

Just install and test...Work well and simple to configure...In fact I was on the JED for try to find a module/plugin like this one but for display a sticky message inside Backend and not Frontend..I would like be able to show some message to my Admin users when they are in some place in Backend but no addon seem to do that...Hope this will be possible in future maybe with this module...
Very nice module, but I would really like to have some more control on:
- How many times the floater has to run. Now every time a user has to re-read the box every time he loads that page which is annoying and it's useless in particular cases. Would be nice to set it: "run once", or "run x times". (based on cookies or for registered members).

Amazing module. Easy to install and works like a charm.
I would like to make some changes and a didn't find any community. Is there any? Thanks and congratulations!

I installed the module and made the necessary setup quite easy. Works smooth. Thank you for your effort.
I only wish there was an option to control the vertical position of the box. Or is there one? :)

I wanted to add a shoutbox to my site but couldn't cause i had no more space and the components i have make my site look ugly if i enable Right&Left colums so i thought i was done for. So i was skeptical about this, but within 10 minutes i had my shoutbox hovering anywhere in my site i chose to place it. 5 stars i love this, would be cool if you had more options to add in multiple modules in the near future.
