Cheers jgeoff,
But my code will work fine in a header a footer
or as above in the Community Welcome Notice area.

Only when its in a Custom Island Does it freeze.
It will update, but not

a) To a page refresh.
b) Nor after 1min has passed, it can be a lot longer (15mins to ??)
I don't know what the trigger is you see.

Ive now copied the script into the custom island to remove
the possibility of it being an "include file" as the fail point.

I have it as a php code, as i get it to switch between
Help quotes/questions and then forum hot topics at certain
times of the day, and even just turn off at another time of
the day.
