      Question: Is there a way to slow the display speed of the newsfeed module? (i.e. I’m not able to read and absorb an item fast enough before the next item appears.)

        Look at the news feed configuration options. Start with

        updateInterval How often do you want to display a new headline? (Milliseconds)

        Possible values:1000 - 60000
        Default value: 10000 (10 seconds)

          @scumbelly Thank you. I didn’t understand that. I was thinking updateInterval was how often it looked for new content. This makes more sense now.

            Okay, I changed the update interval, but I am still having a problem.

            When the feeds display, I have a number of feeds I am pulling from. The module works but I get varied speeds and it isn’t consistent as to which article glitches. i.e. An article may do this once and not the next time.

            I have the update interval set to 20000. That seems to be a good speed for me. Then, every other pass-through the system 3 or 4 articles will just fly through so quickly I can’t read them.

            Any help would be appreciated.
