Okay..this is getting me mad

I've been trying to place the weather sticker on my email. I go to the wondermap, click on the sticker I want to use. It gives the the URL, I copy it and place in the my signature and upload and I get "invalid URL".... what could I be doing wrong!

what email are you using? maybe it doesn't allow the url.

Oops... I misread your question. My answer did not relate to it at all. Could be "old-timers" setting in...

You need the ENTIRE code from the weather website and then you have to hit SAVE TWO TIMES when you paste it into your signature.

And if I remember, when I did it, it took about a day for it to show up.

Thanks guys, however when I go to save it tells me, "URL Invalid?

[LilBeaver]

So there is likely an extra character somewhere, or whatever. Go ahead and paste the URL that you are trying to use in a post, uncheck the box at the bottom of the post page that says "automatically parse links in text" so we can see what the actual code is that you are trying to use. Then we can help troubleshoot the code to get you going.

Give this a try

[starkruzen]

Thanks beav, but I copy that and paste in my signature right? Do I put it behind the HTTP;www. or to I remove the preset prefix? I tried both ways and it still didn't work

[LilBeaver]

I am pretty sure all you should need to do is paste that whole string in, as written... but Give me a few minutes to mess with it and confirm (unless someone else jumps in first)...

[starkruzen]

Thanks, I would really appreciate it!

[LilBeaver]

Okay, I have confirmed. Just paste ALL of the following in the signature box:

That ought to do it (it worked for me anyways).

Do I copy the address in option 1 behind the http://www.???

[LilBeaver]

Paste the link in the box that allows you write text (ignore the two options that you listed), where I have shown in the picture.

 

Hope that helps.

[starkruzen]

Okay I will try that. Do I need to at the http://www. ??

[starkruzen]

See in my last post, this is what happen when I did what you said.

 

This is frustrating

[starkruzen]

Well as you can see that didn't work. But thanks anyway

[rumboogy]

No, you do not need the http or the www.

[LilBeaver]

It works fine for me.

 

It appears that you are not pasting all of the text that I put there for you.

 

You need to include the

Click on the second link and another page will come up showing the weather. Right click on the weather bar and paste it into your signature....

The following image is a screenshot of what worked for me, getting the weather deal in the signature.

 

Note that ALL of the text that I present here:

 

http://weathersticker.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetempbig/language/www/US/FL/West_Palm_Beach.gif

 

Is included in the 'edit signature box' only. not anywhere else. Clicking that, then save will get it to work.

 

I am sorry that you are having so much trouble with this.

 

Alternatively you can do as Skid has suggested. That works fine as well.

Comparing his temperature against mine, I think I like his better....

 

Maybe I should leave his weather bar in my signature,

I can always pretend that my weather is that warm too...
