 * What’s the best way to turn off the pause function, so that rotation won’t stop
   if visitors hunt the testimonial for a link?
 * In my current rotator set there are no links, so pausing the rotation is counter-
   productive.
 * If there is custom code I should add to my system please suggest it.
 * If there is a switch that I have missed, please let me know so I can apologize.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi, it will turn off the next and previous links as well.
 * If you are using the shortcodes add the following attribute
 * show_links=”false”
 * If you are using the widget, uncheck the “Show Links” checkbox.

 * I am using the widget — and the “Show Links” checkbox was already unchecked. 
   I tried checking it, saving, then unchecking it again and saving…no change. Putting
   the cursor in the testimonial area halts the rotation.
 * I also unchecked everything in the Settings page. No change.
 * Finally: I added show_links=”false” to a shortcode. The rotator worked that way,
   but it still paused at a mouse over.
 * Disabling the pause is unusually important on my current draft design, because
   except for a large background photo and a thin header, the rotator is the only
   object on the home page. So some visitors will probably want to mouse over it
   because they expect there will be links. If they mouse over it within the first
   few “startup” seconds, it might never start scrolling before they leave the page.
 * From a previous forum post I learned that the pause function was recently added.
   Perhaps you could suggest how to modify the code to take it away; or suggest 
   some custom code that I could add as a custom function to disable it without 
   actually modifying the script.
 * Thanks

 * I found at least a temporary fix.
 * Although I don’t like to play with code, in the rotator.js file I commented out(/*…*/)
   this pause function:
 *  /**
    * Pause the rotating **/ /* pause: function() {
 *  this.isplaying = 0;
    clearInterval( this.timeout );
 *  } */
 * Seems to work OK in my very simple application.

 * I will look at making an option to turn on/off the hover effect.
