Countdown ticker

How do you add a count down ticker if surgery was actually in the past? When I try it gives an error along the lines of goal cannot be less than start. Maybe there needs to be a new ticker added for time since surgery perhaps?

    Gary, thanks for reporting this bug. We will have this fixed once the site upgrade is completed.

    Ohhh ok, that makes sense! Perhaps you can add a blurb in your signature line saying when you had surgery? That's what I did.

  • You know, Alex is having a lot of updates done to the site and it's possible that the ticker you want is not available at this time? Blogs are down, picture gallery is down too.

Hmmm, do you have to add a date? Can you just add your top weight, current weight, and goal weight? Then it would show the loss regardless of how long ago it was.

I have the weight counter which works great, but noticed some people were using the surgery countdown to show how long it has been since surgery. That is the one it doesn't seem like you can add post surgery.

Seems like you can go in the past for the current month, but anything over than produces an error when it saves.

I don't have the surgey date ticker either once I had the procedure I deleted it! Could you maybe add the info as a signature like on Missy's post above??

I have to edit it every time and act like it is new but I do go by surgery date I think it also has bmi and another one to choose from but you will have to look at them , not sure right now , hope you get it also remember they are updating the site as I have had trouble with a few things my self.
