How to add a ticker

First you must go to a site that has tickers like www.tickerfactory.com or www.tickercentral.com 

Once you have made a ticker and want to add it to your signature line you would do the following.

Highlight the ticker you want to use off the ticker site

Once you have highlighted the ticker, you want to right click and click "copy"

Then go to ObesityHelp's main message board, on the left hand side click on "user settings".  This is the area you will want to paste your ticker into.

You would then click on the signature box and right click to highlight paste to put your ticker into the signature box.

After right clicking and selecting paste the ticker should then appear and then click on "save" at the bottom to keep it.  You will notice below that you must check "enable my signature" for it to show up.

Important note: on some browsers you might have to press CTRL + C (to copy) and CTRL + V (to paste) images.

If you want to add the ticker within your blog area of your profile, you would do the same as above and copy and paste it into your blog area.

If you want to add the ticker within your "my story" area.  Go to your profile page then click "edit" by my story and then click on HTML on the top of the my story section.

You would then copy from the ticker site the HTML coding into the box onto the "my story" HTML section

If you want to add it to my introduction on your profile page, you would click to edit my introduction and copy and paste the HTML coding into the "source" area.

 When you want to change the weight on the ticker you would need to log back into the place you made the ticker to make these adjustments.
