        Try a reboot. I believe that it’s needed for this module

          Have you cloned the module into your modules folder?

          Your config entry should look like this. There is a comma missing in the example of the README file:

          {
                   module: 'MMM-Dad-Jokes',
                   position: 'bottom_left', // Or wherever you want
                   config: {
                       updateInterval: 60000,
                       fadeSpeed: 4000
                   }
               }, 
          

          Notice the closing curly bracket. It has a comma after it that needs to be there which is not depicted in the README example. Here is a screenshot of the module displayed in the lower_third position.

                @bokow - Copy & paste your relevant config.js entry for MMM-Dad-Jokes here and we’ll take a quick look at it. Remember to use the markdown features of the board.

                      @bokow could u edit your post with the config and add three backticks (shifted left of 1 key) on the 1st line, then config start on line 2, and 3 backticks on the last line by themselves…

                        All I had to do was place the location of the jokes to an unoccupied part of the screen. It now works as advertised but t his raises a new problem with the calendar module. The calendar shows nothing, even holidays. I guess my question is where does this app take the calendar info from??
