All I want to do is add on my weightloss tracker ticker to my signature....sounds simple enough!!


I've designed it, thought I copied and pasted it in the right location in my board settings, BUT all I get is the code popping up on my messages under my name, and not the weightloss ticker tracker.


For all of you out there who have succesfully added a ticker or two to their signatures - help!  My computer savvy husband is out of the country and I have now spent over 8 hours on the computer (seriously sad, I know....) trying to add a personalized signature with glitter (which will drive me to drink - lol!) and have resolved to be happy with one simple weightloss tracker ticker....just one......


Can anyone share any tips on this?  I only have so much hair left to pull out:) ...


Thanks,


Christina

It looks like you're not copying the whole html code. When you go into Ticker Factory, make your ticker, and at the end when they give you several options for the codes make sure you go to the 2nd box (HTML) and copy the WHOLE thing. I usually just click in the box and hold down apple-a...for you (assuming you are not on a Mac) it would be Ctrl-a and then hold down Ctrl-c. Once you've done that come back to this board (it helps to have more than one tab/window open) and click Ctrl-v. That should work.

Also, I think you have to switch the little button to "Add your HTML" or something like that before pasting.


After you paste, it shows the html code, and then you switch back to "use formatting tools" and your siggie should look like you want it to.


(That whole part was what kept tripping me up)

That's what I was doing wrong! Not hitting the HTML button before pasting in the codes!
