What happened to the weight trackers?

Used to be able to see everyone's weight tracker (or, those who wanted to have theirs seen) on each message, but I can't see it anymore. Did I miss the memo?

    The option to display your ticker in your sig has been removed. You can link the ticker via BBCode manually each time you post.

    All of what was posted above. When they updated the forums last week, they decided to temporarily remove the tickers from the boards so things would run more smoothly. They will be back in a future update.

    Actually, the initial intention was simply to remove them from the boards completely... but the story seems to have changed now. I guess enough people complained. YEY!

    I wondered why I saw one dude on some thread whose ticker was showing. Oh my! :blush:

    I think the tickers were really motivating. It sucks that they removed them :'(

    This is good to hear. When are they going to let us know what is going on? It would be nice to have some time frames and an address of current complaints. Am I missing where this info is being posted?

    Open up a second window, go to profile, then add ticker, copy link, paste here. Lot more work now and I do miss the old way.

    I'm actually glad to see them gone, honestly. I hope they never come back.

    I'm curious as to why you say that.

    They just clutter things up in my opinion. I would rather them do something to put it over near our avatar instead.

    I think the tickers are very motivating. It reminds me that we're all in this together and that there are others who have made it.

    +1 for this. Bring back the tickers!!

    They are just one of many things disabled in the name of "progress"

    I hope the tickers come back at some point. It was indeed motivating to see it :)

    I too find them annoying. I'd turn off profile pics if I could, too. Just the words, ma'am!

    That is probably why MFP chose to remove them. I agree the forums are cleaner and more concise without the tickers. They are motivational for many people including myself. I would like to see the tickers return, perhaps not as tall.

    you have to paste it to your post every time thru the BBCode...that's not the problem...I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT!!!

    From your MFP home page, click the apps tab. You will then see a tab that says tickers. Click this and the instructions should walk you through setting one up.

    um...no. That just takes me back to my home page...but thanks for trying.
    Did you click the apps tab?

    I've already done everything you said...several times. Didn't work...next....
