I'm new to this program, yet I"ve lost 4.2 pounds since I've been tracking diet and exercise. How do i get the ticker, like everyone has, on my page? HELP!

    Go to tools at the top, then tickers and it will show you step by step :flowerforyou: Congrats on the loss so far!

    Thanks. It appears I have done it, but I can't see the ticker. Like on your comment, it has what you've lost. I don't see that below my post. I'm tech savvy and feeling pretty illiterate right now. :(

    Ok now did you copy the code that it gave you? Once you copy it, go to message boards/settings/signature... lemme know if that doesn't help :smile: There should be a place to paste it into.

    Thank you! I usually use this from my phone and not my laptop. I think I did it. One last question....does this automatically update when you enter new weight?

    It sure does! And ask as many questions as you need to! When I first started on here I had NO idea what I was doing and how many great things MFP has to offer. I don't think I even started making friends for 2 or 3 months. I love this site. It keeps me going :heart: Feel free to add me as a friend if you like too!

    I'm very impressed with the site. My daughter is a type 1 diabetic...was diagnosed 7+ years ago. I'm so conscience about carb intake for her , yet realized I have not taken care of myself. This site is GREAT. The last time I had any true weight loss was 27 years ago when I was a sophomore in HS. Since then I have let the pounds creep on. Medical issues pushed me to be VERY motivated. I love walking and live in a beautiful town with a lake and numerous walking trails alongside it. I don't like to walk with anyone as it is MY time to destress and clear my mind. Thanks for taking time to help me....Congrats on your weight loss!

    Just a note about tickers. For use on MFP boards there is NO NEED TO COPY anything. There IS no box under settings to paste the code into... settings has a check box... display my ticker on all forum posts? If checked then you see the ticker, if unchecked you don't

    Create your ticker at tools > tickers
    then come back here... message boards > Introduce yourself (since we're not in tech support)
    Home > Recent Posts > My Topics > SETTINGS > Search

    the ONLY option under Settings is to display your ticker / or not depending on status of the check box

    Pandorian... thanks:smile: ! I remember having to copy and paste when I first did it. At least I think so??? Haaaha I don't remember now. Maybe they upgraded (or I'm wrong on all accounts LOL). But good to know! Rachel, often times we are so busy taking care of our families that we forget that they need us to be healthy in order to do this! Good for you for taking this step! :drinker:

    Oh yes, we definitely used to have to copy the BBCode and paste it in the signature field but signatures started getting abused with huge pictures linked and external tickers being used (it's always been a rule with signatures (since I have been here anyway) to only use MFP supplied tickers) so they removed the signature box and gave us the toggle to have it on or off.
