OK heres another stupid question. How do you get the weight ticker on your signature? I keep trying to insert but I just get the address, not the ticker.

You have to enter the bbCode in order for your ticker to show up in your signature.

ugggghhh!!! still can't do it.

ugggghhh!!! still can't do it.

Are you using www.tickerfactory.com or www.tickercentral.com?

Cut and paste code for most boards and web pages:

www.tickerfactory.combbCode:

(Fertility Friend's Circles, phpBB, Invision Power Board, vBulletin...)

www.tickercentral.com

phpBB & other BB Code boards

Borrowed from another post from Jessiebear. Hope she doesn't mind. I don't mean to sound mean, but you could have found the same information with a search of it. Took me about 10 seconds. :

The ticker.......

I use Tickerfactory.com

click on weight loss ticker

pick your ruler

then click next

pick your slider

click next

fill in your stats

click next

scroll down page to the bb code box & cut the entire code in the box

go back to LBT

click on quick links

click edit signature

paste in signature box

Easy! When you paste the code will show in the box but your ticker will show on your posts!

How to set up your ticker:

1. Go to www.tickerfactory.com

2. Click on weight loss link

3. Select a ticker ruler you like by clicking the option button next to the one you choose and then click NEXT

4. Choose a ticker slider you like by clicking the option button next to your choice and then click NEXT

5. Configure your weight tracker by entering you info and the click NEXT

6. You will see a message on the screen that says Done! Your Ticket URL is: (and then there will be a long string of text starting with http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/.....

7. Click your mouse at the beginning of this text (starting with the h in http and drag over the entire line of text. (make sure you highlight the entire line (URL)

8. Press Ctrl+C (hold these keys down at the same time) to copy the text you have highlighted

9. Go back to www.lapbandtalk.com and click the UserCP link

10. Click the link titled Edit Signature

11. Scroll down to the text box titled edit signature and place your cursor where you want your ticker to go

12. Click the icon called insert image - this is the one that is yellow with the two little mountains and sun on it

13. A window will pop up telling you to enter the URL of the image

14. Press Ctrl+V (hold these keys down at the same time) to paste the text you copied in step 8 above into this field.

15. Click ok and you're done! Your ticker should magically appear.

16. Click save signature and you're done - you can update it as often as you want by going to user CP, click on your current ticker and press delete - then repeat these steps to re-add.

That's how I do it anyway :-).__________________
