    You can copy and paste it into a forum post, or you can use it as part of your forum signature. If you have a website/blog/myspace page/etc., you can also use the ticker there.

    To include a ticker in your forum signature, go to "My Home", then "Settings", then choose the forum signature option and paste the code in that box.

    For the AJAX stuff, I use the prototype library for a bunch of stuff. A lot of it I custom coded also. The tickers were a pain in the butt to do for some reason. They ended up taking me a LOT longer than I thought they would. I've basically been working on them for the past two months, although I definitely got distracted for a bit by taxes and a bunch of other personal stuff. Filing taxes is a gigantic pain...

    Anyways, now that this feature is finally out, I've got a slew of stuff I want to add to the site that I think I can crank out pretty quickly. So hopefully there will be a bunch of new stuff soon!

    Well, it's awesome, I know from experience, this stuff is a lot harder then it looks. Great job!

    This is what a personalized ticker might look like by the way:

    So... Very cool feature, unfortunately it won't work for me!!!

    I upload the photo, and click "continue, and then the next page is supposed to show you your ticker so far...
    but there's only the x in the box where the photo should be.
    When I pick my slider and my preferences, it comes up with "page has expired"
    UGH:explode:
    I've done it about 5 times to no avail...

    Maybe too many people doing it at once???

    There might still be some kinks in it that need to be worked out. I've fixed a bunch of bugs already, but I'm sure there are more. I've also been having a lot of trouble with photo uploading lately for some reason which I'm going to look into next. For now, all I can say is keep trying and I will try to get everything fixed up ASAP.

    Also, out of curiosity, what browser and operating system are you using?

    Secondly, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed with technology, but I'm sure I'm doing it right...:tongue:

    I'm using Windows XP via Internet Explorer. :flowerforyou:

    No, I don't think it's you, I think there is a bug that I just can't quite figure out how to fix yet. But I'm working on it, so hang in there!

    Read the headers for the codes:

    One is BBcode and the other is HTML. Under neath the BBcode header it says "For forum signatures on most message boards."

    Use that one.
