i need to start the scroll from left side

It seems that it happens in
function scrollmarquee(){
if (parseInt(memoryscroller.style.left)>(actualwidth*(-1)+8))
memoryscroller.style.left=parseInt(memoryscroller.style.left)-copyspeed+"px"
else
memoryscroller.style.left=parseInt(memorywidth)+8+"px"
}
-------------------------
and memoryscroller is initialized at lines 50-51
memoryscroller=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("memoryscroller") : document.all.memoryscroller
memoryscroller.style.left=parseInt(memorywidth)+8+"px"
-------------------------------------
I believe that 'memoryscroller.style.left' holds the left margin of the text (see line 98)
So I would test the effect of
function scrollmarquee(){
if( parseInt(memoryscroller.style.left)<8 )
memoryscroller.style.left=parseInt(memoryscroller.style.left)+copyspeed+"px"
else
memoryscroller.style.left=parseInt(actualwidth)-8+"px"
}

the text now is paused in one position
i need it to run from left to right
instead of right to left
thanks

OK, here is my revised code.

1 - Test it first as is on your machine, so that if you still have a problem I can procced working on this text.

2 - When it works, you can update your copy from this one:
-- do not copy the first lines, since I have placed constant content instead of the initial php echo
-- do not forget updating revivelastmsg which in some cass was cusing strange things
-- doubly check that all lines ending in with   +"px"   have a real integer before the + . This was the tricky part! use () and parseint in a paranoid way! in "my" vode, most of these have  been edited
