A few of you have been having problems. Not so much in creating the ticker itself, but copying the right code into your signature in your settings!
TICKER FACTORY TICKERS
Open a new window in your browser - keeping the forum open in the
background and go to http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php and create your ticker.
On the very last page (where it gives you the various
codes for various forum types) you need to be taking text from the top
of the three boxes. Does that make sense so far?
Now you need to copy SOME NOT ALL of the text from that first box.
Ignore the first line of text... url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/ (has [ square brackets ] around it.)
Copy from the next square bracket [img to the end of that line /img] Still making sense I hope
Ignore the final [/url]
Having
copied this text make the forum window active in your browser, go to
your profile settings and if you have a ticker code in there which hasn't worked, delete it
- it is obviously wrong in some way. Once that has been deleted, paste
the new ticker code in the signature box.
Fingers crossed this will work for you. 
BABY.GAGA TICKERS
Alternatively you can go to http://tickers.baby-gaga.com/pregnancy.php
On the page (where it gives you the various
codes for various forum types) you need to be taking text from the second
of the three boxes. Does that make sense so far?
Now you need to copy SOME NOT ALL of the text from that box.
Ignore the first line of text... url=http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/ (has [ square brackets ] around it.)
Copy from the next square bracket [img to the end of that line /img]
Ignore the final [/url]

copied this text make the forum window active in your browser, go to
your profile settings and if you have a ticker code in there which hasn't worked, delete it
- it is obviously wrong in some way. Once that has been deleted, paste
the new ticker code in the signature box.
LILYPIE.COM TICKERS
Step 1: Select whether you want a full size or mini ticker
Step 2: Choose ticker line
Step 3: Choose marker
You will now be asked for some info. For instance if you are doing a pregnancy ticker you need to insert your due date or date of EC minus 2 weeks (= to LMP date). You also need to set wording and optional text text above and below the ticker.
Click CREATE TICKER
You need to select from the box headed PseudoHTML, UBBCode™ or BBCode
Now you need to copy SOME NOT ALL of the text from that box.
Ignore the first few characters of text... url=http://lilypie.com (has [ square brackets ] around it.)
Copy from the next square bracket [img to the end of that line /img]
Ignore the final [/url]
