Looks like marquees don't work on Chrome. Not sure if Google's gonna fix that since it has been obsolete for a while (stupid me for still using it on my site lol). I want my site to function the same across all browsers, so I guess it's time for me to upgrade to CSS or something. How stupid. I'll do that eventually if Chrome decides it's not worth it to fix whatever "bug" is making this happen.

The "new and modern" fix for marquees seems like way more work than it should be, but I'm not a coding genius so certainly there is a valid reason for this^^
Also Chrome is like the lowest common denominator of web browsers (besides like Internet Explorer or whatever it's called now) like Jeez I feel like there's just so many issues with it. Firefox has yet to let me down.
...they don't seem to work for me on firefox either, are they working for you? Maybe there's a good reason marquees are obsolete but I don't know what it is therefore its BS ^_^
@ Onlytrichromatic they are working for me just fine on both Firefox and my phone’s browser… Interesting! I don’t really understand why marquees are considered “outdated” either. Everyone says they’re ugly and outdated but provide no explanation. It’s like they want everyone to just bloat their sites with redundant CSS and JS? Sorry not all of us have NASA computers lmao
exactly! okay they're ugly so what??? that's not a good reason lol. like I've literally seen threads of people asking how to do xyz on stackexchange and people will just respond with "don't do that it's ugly and outdated" okay how about you kys (joking obvz but yeah)
Yeah literally stupid as hell. I blame tech bro gentrification for all that nonsense; everyone's now more focused on making their sites "technically impressive" with the "latest cutting edge" CSS/JS/what have you when you can do the exact same thing way simpler with beginner-level HTML. Who cares if it's ugly? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It just feels like we're reinventing the wheel over and over again.
I probably sound like a boomer right now and I have nothing against CSS/JS personally but I try to avoid using a ton of scripts and stuff on my website because my computer is a bit older and my internet is poor since I live in the boonies. I prefer everything to be as simple as possible so it doesn't take 300 years to load/freeze my computer.
no I totally agree. I find JS fun for projects but honestly I avoid complex stuff because it makes my brain hurt. @_@ and yeah this is the fault of tech bros.
