The sliding weight graph graphic at the bottom of alot of the member's posts. I can't find my scale since we remodeled our bathroom, but I can sure drag my fat arse over to the neighbors and use hers!

marilyn, you can click on this Tickers and go make your own weight loss ticker. just follow the directions and you'll get your ticker code. remember to write down your password, etc. so you can go back and change the ticker when you need to change it for a loss.

once you have the bbcode, do a copy/paste of the bbcode then come back to the site [opening up another window works nicely].
go to your User CP scroll down the left side and click on EDIT SIGNATURE. once you are there, just paste the bbcode into the test box and click save.

I just clicked on that link and when I attempt to create a ticker, I need to log in, but it keeps telling my my user ID or password is wrong and I get on the boards okay with the info I use. What do I do?

maryilyn, go ahead and make the ticker. when you get done, you will be given a username and password. those are what you will use to log back in so you can make changes to your ticker.

I read where it said to make the ticker first, but when I clicked on the create ticker link, a log-in box pops up and it wants me to log in.

I switched over to the IE browser and it seems to look like it's working right now.

Hey Marilyn, I think I created my ticker right. If so...it's pretty easy. Lemme know if you need any help.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #5

Well...I copied the code and then pasted it in the EDIT SIGNATURE box... what did I do wrong?

[lchance]

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #5

Did you click "update" or "save" signature?

[lchance]

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #5

After you paste it in the Edit Signature box...scroll down to a little ways and click "Save Signature" that should do it!!

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #5

I pasted the code into the first box in my control panel and clicked SAVE and what you see is where it is. What the hay?

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #5

That is really weird? I know there were 4 codes to choose from. I chose the 2nd code to use....the one that could be seen by users without HTML. Maybe try another code.
