You need to put it into your signature and that way it will show up in all of your posts.
Go to your User CP at the top of the page on the blue bar and on the left side you will see a menu...click on edit signature and you will be able to post your ticker into the signature box, you can preview to see if it is there and then click save.
If you look at this tutorial on the link it will show you how.
Hi, Im a newbie here too and Im trying to figure out how to use my ticker! I have added it to my signature, but don't known how to edit it to show my weight loss. Can anyone help? Thanks
