Ticker

How do I make a ticker for myself?

Pretty sure these are the steps you need to follow, start to finish, to set up a ticker and have it show when you post:

1. Go to My OH (upper right corner), go to Health Tracker
2. Fill in your weight
3. Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page and Save
4. Still in “Health Tracker”, go to “Tickers and Widgets”
5. Create your ticker
6. Make sure to check the box that says “Add to messageboard signature”
7. Be sure to Save it
8. To make it appear in your signature, go to Your Name (upper right corner), “Settings”
9. Go to “Message Board”
10. Check “Enable my signature”

Once you've done all that, you may find that the tickers "disappear" whenever you update your weight, or they can actually disappear any time they darn well feel like it. To fix that, I usually have success with this: Go to edit the ticker, and change the display mode from whatever it was to the other option. In other words, if it said "Pounds to go", change it to "Pounds lost", or whatever it says. Then, change it back. That should make the ticker reappear. Once it does, click save. You may have to repeat the process a few times and/or save it a few times to get it to "take".

Good luck! If you still have problems, you can PM me or post here.

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome. Looks like your tickers have done their disappearing act...the second part of my post should help with that.

Okay, I finally got it. Those tickers are slippery little devils.

Thank you, your tips worked for me.

Geesh, my ticker keeps disappearing too!  Guess I'll see if it is back. I think I followed the steps but maybe I missed something.

OK, I have deleted and re-added my ticker several times, gone to message boards, looks fine, but shows up as the little missing picture icon.  Anyone?

All I can say is that I followed the instructions given to me and my ticker didn't show up until my third try. I can't say what the secret was but I know I had to click save in several different spots. Try again and hopefully something will work.
