Placing a Ticker in your Signature

#1 Post by bbsadmin »

New members: You will not be able to have a signature or make a ticker until you have at least 7 posts and your name turns green.

First of all, PLEASE DO NOT put the Ticker Factory graphic in your Avatar space. It is too wide to be an avatar! Please put it ONLY in your Signature area!

Note: You cannot add a signature or website to your profile until you meet a minimum number of posts. After that minimum number is met, the fields will be available for you to fill on on your profile page.

Here's how to post your ticker:

1. After you get a ticker from TickerFactory.com, copy the bbCode (first window).


Here's an example of the bbCode of a ticker I configured:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]
[img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;16;4/st/20041210/e/Since+I+got+my+braces+off/dt/-3/k/e6dc/event.png[/img]
[/url]
The ticker looks like this:

2. Notice that there is some extra text hanging around above and below the ticker image. You can get rid of it! All you need to do is just keep the code that is between the "img's". Just delete the "url" codes above and below the "img" code, so that your code looks like this:

Code: Select all

[img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;16;4/st/20041210/e/Since+I+got+my+braces+off/dt/-3/k/e6dc/event.png[/img]
Which will result in a ticker that looks cleaner:
