Let's also talk siggy's.

I've been trying to change mine for weeks but I don't know how.  Help?  I keep getting an error message.

Re: Let's also talk siggy's.

  • Hmmm, good question.  I just went to look at mine, and it's got the coding in there from when I was pregnant and "Team Green"!

    Do you need the coding?  I believe it's just <img src="insert-pic-code-here.jgp"</*img>

    Minus the *, of course.  Are you using that for the code?  I'm wondering if it's the nest not allowing changes?  It's weird that my pregnancy badge coding is still attached to my profile, but it doesn't show up...makes me think it's a nest issue.

  • That is weird - I mean, obviously you are logged in already since you are posting!

     I go to "My Nest" at the top, then edit profile (I think).  I upload my pic via tinypic.com and use the img code.  Works every time.  

    Maybe try logging all the way out and getting back in?

    That is strange.  When I click on my profile, I'm asked to log in too, but it works.  Maybe you need to delete your internet cookies, log totally out and start over?  I dunno...hope you can get it figured out!

    Screen names with an "*" or other special character are not being recognized thus the issues with the siggies.
