ticker?
 

I'm a newbie and one of the reasons I joined this site and discovered it was a signature in the forums of another site... It had a little scale of weight and your goal. I think it's called a ticker? How do I get one of those?

Signatures are restricted for 30 days / 30 posts due to a massive problem with spammers that sign up and abuse the signature feature. So we had to restrict it.


But time flies and we hope you'll stick around :)

Just checking to see how many post I have so far.... still no ticker

It's not only the number of posts, it's also being registered a month. You can keep bashing out posts but can't speed up Father Time.

Be patient, Chickies - it'll happen!

Tickers
 

I knew I'd get the answer somewhere, great to hear from you Ruth and Suzanne. I thought it was just me not being able to figure out the system......whew....Now.....I have another question. I tried using the basic exercise calories and food calories portion of the program and I couldn't find the exercise I do, or alot of the foods I eat. Is it a good idea to upgrade to the pay for journalling etc program? Right now I am paying 19 per month for this service elsewhere. If it's $30 for a year and it's any good, I'd just as soon change over.

Anyway....on I go journal searching.

hmmmm let's see if this works

Jandaman, congrats on the sticker. I will move it into your signature so it does not need to be pasted in by you on every post.

Done! Try another post to test it.

thanks ruth!!

i was just wondering if i'd have to copy and paste forever and was too embarrassed to ask..;)

Hi :) I'm not aware of the service you are asking about, so I can't provide an opinion. If it suits your needs, then $30 per year sounds like a good price. Personally, I use FitDay PC to track my food and fitness. I don't use the one online, but the one you download and install to your own computer. It's a flat fee of 29.95 for a lifetime license. I love it :)

Same here I was drawn to this site because I saw the ticker and Now joined here So I can have a ticker and I post in the Miscellaneous Clubs for Herbal Magic and I have found another Friend there to buddy up with... SO Waiting my time out too.

Testing out my ticker too! Is the 30 days a must as i've not been here 30 days but i have 30 posts? Still, i want to keep the lovely tickers!

Hi There-

I wanted to ask if I get my ticker? I joined 3 chicks last year, fell off, and now I'm back. Do I have to wait the full 30 days after rejoining? Thanks so much!

If the option is not in your UserCP to use the signatures, then you should see it soon after your 30th post.

Welcome back!

Suzanne-

Thanks so much. Happy Spring everyone!

Hi:
I just wanted to see if I could get my ticker.

Yahoo I got mine got 30 post in and I got it !

Ok, this explains it! Thanks!:)

user cp
 

Ok, and now for a truly duh question. What is our "user cp" and where do I find it? Many thanks. Sorry if this is something everyone else already knows.:o

Also, how do I get rid of the red dot that tells me I'm invisible!?!

WriterChick, your usercp is a link in the purple menu bar at the top of the forum. You'll only see it if you are logged in, and it's the first link in the menu :)

If you don't want to be invisible, go to your UserCP and select 'edit options' from the menu at left. The first option is for invisibility. Change it then scroll down to submit the changes.

Hope that helps :)

Ah hah! Thanks!

Hi...

Does 30 days/30 posts mean that we have to have both in order to see our ticker? (I guess I'm alittle slow). And when they say 'open two browser windows', how do you go about doing that?! THANKS.


SUE

Yes, you need 30 posts too.

To open another browser, click the minimize symbol - top right on my screen - and then click your internet icon and you'll have two copies of the same browser.

(Apologies: I read this post earlier in the morning and got interrupted before posting my reply! Hope this helps.)

I too love those tickers!! Can't wait for mine.

Ok I'm back
 

Thanks for the tips everyone. I missed the part about two browsers so I have to go back and figure out why I want two browsers open.

where do you get the ticker though.


do I get to choose it?

I feel incredibly stupid, I thought I had it all figured out...now I don't know how to update my ticker....

oh...I have it now... sorry, found it in another forum...

Go into your User profile and choose edit signature. Change the code so that last number reflects your current weight. For example 270/150/230 would change to 270/150/225 if you've lost 5 pounds. Remember to save the changes.

You could also change your S/C/G to 270/see ticker/150.

I can't wait for my ticker either! 30 posts, here I come :)

Sorry just seeing what my ticker looks like
Very exciting moment :D

posts
 

How can I have four or more posts (on this thread) and they all say I have 31 posts???:?:

Hi :) It always shows the total posts, not individually numbered. So when you posted your message, they all updated to 32 posts.

I think 30 days is too much but ah well... let's wait.

Each time we write and submit the item, isn't that an individual post?

Yes. But all of the numbers on all of your posts display your total post count.

Let's say I post for the first time...the post count is "1".

Then I post again in the same thread...both my original post, and the one I just added, have a post count of "2".

All of your posts in this thread, and all other places you've posted, now have a post count of 36 (or will, until you post something else!)

Oh duh! Now I get it. Sorry I was having a "moment" there.

Hi...
I'm just biding time for a cool picker ticker, too. :)
