Adding A Ticker To Your Signature

**Jarret** · September 12th, 2010, 08:48 PM

A ticker is a way to track your weight loss while also showing others your progress. A ticker is displayed in your signature. If you don't know how to create a signature visit Adding A Signature

or...just click this link: http://hcgdietinfo.com/hcgdietforums...=editsignature

1. Go to a ticker site (a popular one used on this site is Weight Loss - Diet Ticker) Or just find a ticker you like in someones post and click on it. It will take you to the site's page where you can make your own.
2. Follow the necessary steps, once you are done you will land on a page that provides the necessary code to display your ticker on other sites
3. Copy the direct link that is displayed on the above mentioned page.
4. Visit http://hcgdietinfo.com/hcgdietforums...=editsignature and paste the link into the text area provided. Wrap the link in image tags: [img]LINK[/img]
5. Click on Save Signature

NOTE: These instructions were updated in February 2016.

LATEST UPDATE: The site has been configured to no longer allow a redirect to the ticker sites. So what you will need to do is use only the part of the code that is in between the image tags. Post only that part in your signature. It will look something like this (without the spaces):

I did my ticker thing but it won't go on my page I copied & pasted it. I think my HTML needs to be on & it say's off I don't know how to change that. I have tried just about everything I can think of.

Sent you a PM about it.

You need to use the BBcode version of the code they supply.

Hi Jarret, I printed out your instructions about the ticker, but even after I've pasted into the designated signature box, no ticker comes up. Help--I am not computer savy. Thanks. What can I be doing wrong?

**Jarret** · September 25th, 2010, 07:55 AM

You have part of the bbcode in your signature already, you just need to copy the entire bbcode that it gives you.

It should look something like...

Thanks Jarret. Went Back and pasted more. Will see if it works.

**Dubbles** · September 25th, 2010, 08:18 AM

Jarret, I have done all that and still no ticker when I post. What am I doing wrong? Please?

**Dubbles** · September 25th, 2010, 08:21 AM

Jarret, my ticker comes up when I post to you, but to no one else. Am I leaving a step out. I do click on save signature. Then when I post, I ---whoops, think I may know what i did wrong. Will try one more time.

**Dubbles** · September 25th, 2010, 08:24 AM

Never mind, Jarret. Thanks for your help, I figured out what I was doing wrong. When I posted, I would (dummy) delete the show your signature box, thinking I was enabling that function. Duh! It's done now. Thanks. Next will be trying to put my picture on my post. Will probably need help with that, too. Thanks again.

Jarret, can you help me with how-to put my picture on line. I'm not on Facebook, so I will be bringing it from my computer. Thanks. I'm not good at this stuff, so please be patient, and very specific. Thanks
