Hi Everyone,

I know this question is really going to give some people the shits, because I'm sure it's been asked 1,000,000 times, but I've done my best and can't work it out - I can't even find any threads about it - I'm a complete computer moron.

Anyway, I need to know how you get the scale and info at the bottom of the message happening.

Thanks to anyone with the patience, and knowledge, to answer.l

Take care,

Rachel.

go to www.tickerfactory.com

its self explainatory and pretty easy to set yourself up a tape

love trace

If its a signature you want to add so it shows on all ya posts...just go to top of page and find user cp... then im sure ya will work it out.

love tracey

Hi Trace,

I did it, I did it !!! Well, I sort of did it. I've got the ticker happening. When I tried to put up more details I could only get info on fertility treatment.

Could be a problem with their site so I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks for the info.

Take care,

Rachel.

Looks like I didn't get the ticker happening after all, oh well, I shall persist.

I have not been able to do it either. it just goes to a fertility thing too.

Okay, I don't know about the fertility thing, but Tammymaybeband is working on this too. Ya'll go to the thread "Need help......" by beachbabe(soon) and look at what we've been working on there. Maybe that will help...I don't have lots of knowledge, but I do have patience!

Just went to Ticker Factory...don't click on the box called "weight tracker", wait for the flower "NEXT" box to pop up, then put a dot in the weight tracker circle and go from there...I was getting sent to fertility too when I clicked inside the weight tracker box...

Thanks Kathy,

I appreciate the info - and I'm off to give it a go. Hopefully, next time you here from me I'll have all my info at the bottom.

Best wishes,

Rachel.

OK I am so dumb when it comes to this computer. Finally figured out how to set a measure thingy now how to I add it to my signature?

You go into the user CP (see link at top left of page) and then click on the Edit Signature link (you'll see it on the left hand side). You'll want to copy the link that you've created by highlighting it, then holding the Ctrl and C buttons down at the same time. (Make sure that you copy the BB Code link, and not one of the other ones.) Once you do that, you can paste it into the Signature box area by holding down the Ctrl and V buttons at the same time. Then just click submit and it should work for you.

Good luck!

Thanks Kelly my 17yr son read your post for me and put it through. I am so dumb when it comes to this thing.

Hoooraaay!!! It worked!!!!!!

Still having no luck - Kelly, are you speaking English? Unfortunately I don't have a computer savvy teen in the house but I've got a friend who might be able to help out.

Thanks for the info.

Take care,

Rachel.

Try it this way Rachel: At the top of this page on the left click USER CP. On that page (in the left hand column) click EDIT SIGNATURE. There will be a square on the screen. Type in your name and statistics (if you like) then click on SAVE SIGNATURE. That will give you a permanent signature at the bottom of your posts. Now, minimize this screen by clicking the little minus sign at the top right hand side of your screen. Go to TickerFactory.com and highlight your ticker (click on it , it turns blue), then, go to the top, left side of your screen and click EDIT, then COPY. Now, maximize your lapband talk page (click the bar at the bottom). Click the area where you want your ticker to go. Go back to the top and click EDIT, then PASTE, then SAVE SIGNATURE. Now go to one of your posts and see if it took. I'm not that computer saavy either but I hope this helps.

Suggestion: Print out or write down the post first, so that it's easier to follow along. Good Luck!!!!

Thanks SHAZ. Hopefully this'll work for you Rachel.
