I'm staying with 8.0 for now, nothing major was changed.

BTW, how do you ad your Wunderground weather sticker to your posts folks?

...how do you ad your Wunderground weather sticker to your posts

Go to your WU page and there is a link below your broadcast box, "Add PWS Stickers to your website!"

Pick the sticker you want ( no animated flash movies allowed, the first two won't work here ) and copy the link.
Come back here and select Profile, click "Forum Profile Information" under "modify Profile"

Scroll down to "Signature" and paste the link from WU.

Scroll down some more and click "Change Profile"

That should do it!

If you have a problem with the code appearing properly, post the link from WU in here and we can have a look at it.

Good point, I forgot about that Greg. It's been a while since I put my sticker on here.

Here is the raw HTML code of my sticker, from WU:

Code: [Select]
<a href="http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KMAEASTH4"><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/banner/ban/wxBanner?bannertype=wxstnsticker&weatherstationcount=KMAEASTH4" height="160" width="160" border="0" alt="Weather Underground PWS KMAEASTH4" /></a>

Here is the BBC version:

Code: [Select]
[url=http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KMAEASTH4][img]http://banners.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/banner/ban/wxBanner?bannertype=wxstnsticker&weatherstationcount=KMAEASTH4[/img]
If you like the style sticker I use you can copy/paste the lower code and just use your WU station ID number in the two places.

The first part of the code
Code: [Select]
[url=http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KMAEASTH4] makes the sticker a clickable link to my WU page
