how do i get a ticker
Hi!
You can go to this site and chose the ticker ruler and slider that you like:
http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=3
After you choose the style you like some codes will be generated. The size and background option I used were large and light. I like to chose the html code. Hi-light the entire code and then right click to chose copy.
At that point you need to come back to this forum (or any other forum on this board). Look to the left side of the forum and you will see a list of choices: Forum Home, Message Board, Recent Posts, etc. Click on "User Settings" from this list.
Here is where you can add your avitar and your signature. In the second box under My Settings (it says Signature) place your cursor anywhere in that box and right click again and choose paste. The html code will be copied in that box.
Then, go to the bottom of the page and choose save. You will then see your ticker displayed in the first box under My Settings (it says Current Signature).
I have noticed that I have to be sure to have no line spaces in the second box or the signature appears cut off when you actually see it on your posts. So, be sure to delete any extra lines you may have above your signature ticker.
When it comes time to update your ticker you can just double click on the ticker in the "Current Signature" box and you will be taken the page where you can enter your tickerfactory password. Then you can enter your updated information and repeat the steps mentioned above.
I hope this helps and that I haven't overwhelmed you with this, but if you will just follow it step by step it does get easier over time!
