I had trouble figuring out the tickers in the beginning also! You can customize your ticker and it will automatically update to show how far along you are in your pregnancy and how many days you have left. It will show up underneath your signature each time you post something on the board. You don't have to copy & paste the code every time, you can add it to your Avatar Signature so that it updates automatically each time you post something or make a comment on someone's post.
Here are the steps to do that. Someone else might have a better way of doing it but this is how I figured it out.
1. Select which tickler you want to use, customize it as you did above using your due date or LMP & copy the ticker code.
2. Next, click on the green "My Bump" tab and log in if you aren't already
3. Click on "Edit my Avatar & Sig"
4. Under "My Forums Signature" , you will copy the ticker code in that box. If you want to do more than one, you can copy more than one ticker code. You can also add pictures, badges, etc but they all need a HTML code.
5. Click on "Save My Signature" and you are done!
If you want to check to make sure it automatically shows up under your post, I would just post a message or look at one of your previous messages.
