Help, How do I get a countdown????

[bonhoga]

Hi Everybody,

Won't somebody please take pity on me and explain how to get one of those lovely countdowns?

I can't seem to get the hang of it at all!!! Probably going to feel incredibly silly now, when one of you points out how to do it - theres probably some big icon staring me in the face "Get your ticker here" and I just haven't clicked yet!!!

Thanks a lot

Kaye

This is the site most of get them from - you just follow the instructions and then C&P the code they give you into your signature:

Thanks Steve - I'll give it a go!

Did you get on okay Kaye?

 

[bonhoga]

Hi Karen,

I think the answer is ....not really!!!

As you can see I now have a lovely URL at the bottom of my signature - I'll try again - then I might ask for help again!

If nobody minds that is?

Kaye,

I've put what you need to paste into your signature for the ticker to appear on this page:

http://www.lemony-fresh.com/ticker.txt

You can just copy and paste the whole thing! It should work, but let me know if it doesn't.

You need to C&P this code into your signature, just make sure you change all ( and ) for [ and ]:

(url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/)

(/url)

Hope you don't me taking over like that

DOH: beaten to it - nice one Emma.

 

[bonhoga]

Success at last

Mind you though my heart sank - 6months 2 weeks!!!! How am I going to be able to wait that long?

Looks good Kaye

The time will fly by, honest! It's nearly Xmas and then it will be almost time!!

 

[emmaness]

You're welcome, Kaye! And Karen's right - after all, today I saw an advert for a Christmas 2006 brochure!

PS. Is it just me or is the main forum image as well as a lot of smilies not loading?! :S

Hi all. sorry but I also need help with the countdown. I read your posts, but my English must be worser than I thought! Please could you help me step by step..? I had a countdown from ticker factory and then a URL, but no picture just this link. I am realy sorry for this but I would be thankful if anybody could help me.

What's the date of your trip and what do you want the ticker to say? Also, what ticker (picture) do you want?

 

[Hugi]

My trip is on the 30th October until the 3rd November its a ticker with bats (i hope this is the right word for this) and then i could choose the ticket "pointer" that would be a bat in the moon... my text was Happy Halloween at DLRP

Click this link: http://www.rumgone.co.uk/hugi.html

Now copy and paste that into your signature.

Hope that helps and welcome to the board

Angela, you need to go into User CP. Then edit signature and cut and paste the ticker url into here.
