We have so much fast sliding news in new bar and they need to sync with static news.
Yes it is true the sliding news in news bar is fast for me, my eyesight is getting a bit weak and I find it hard to read the fast headlines completely, so maybe it would be good to slow down a bit.
Also when I press the pause button the news bar goes back to the beginning which is not good, it is better to continue from where it stopped.
Completely agree with you on the speed of the news updates in the new bar, it's sure too fast and it's really hard to keep up with reading the update after a few seconds, admin can do well to slow the slide's speed down a bit to support comfortable reading.
And regarding the second part of your comment which talks about pausing the news bar, I actually have not tried pausing the news slide, but if what you said about it always retuning to the beginning is correct, then I believe that is a bug and admin and his team to do well by fixing it, they can even step up a bit by making the bar slideable manually after pressing the pause button, this can help readers to easily view the part of the news that is hidden in tbt edges even while the bar is still paused.
