Ok so I got my banner from Nicoticket and on my signature page it updates and hours and days roll over but if I post the banner doesn't roll over it stays where it was when I created it is this a problem with the new software it's really annoying me what's the point of having a banner if it doesn't work correctly
why isn't my banner updating?

Signatures are cached. Banners that try to be that accurate are no longer so. Not sure how often those particular caches are updated, but it's not often. Perhaps once every day or so.
If you do something to the banner -- post a different one for example -- then the change, when it's saved, overrides the cache, so it gets updated to the "new" banner. Kind of a pain, but if you're the kind of person who watches the stats on your banner, worth it -- at least to me.

I did d/l a new banner, but its still not updating. Maybe it will though eventually.
Ok, the caching at the server means that any updates to what is already there, are only going to happen infrequently -- maybe daily, I don't know, might be weekly for all I know.
But mine right now says 9mos 1day 18hrs... after I post this, I'm going to update my banner, so watch what happens...

Now... it says 9mos 1day 23hrs... because I last updated it about 5 hrs ago.

Mine is correct in my signature in my settings, but the results aren't carrying over. I did try reloading it. I have 94 days. Maybe I have to get one like yours, but I really like seeing how many I didn't smoke. I'm not liking the change at all. I know I'll eventually adjust, but...
Noticed mine isn't updating either...may just eliminate it and put the quit date in there.
The signature area is cached by the servers to reduce the load and help make the forum smoother and faster. The info will update about every day or so.
I just went to the signature at my profile, clicked on the Nicoticket logo, it updated immediately, whether it keeps updating is to be foreseen.
Well now looking at it when I posted, it defaulted back to what it was before I updated it...so much for that idea.

Mine hasn't updated in four days.
Reloading it isn't the same as updating it, and will not work -- the server itself is cached, and there is no way to flush that cache. You have to actually change the banner somehow and re-save it.

Thanks Andria...I'll try that tomorrow.... if yours works---
It was working fine, since I was going and updating/re-saving it every few hours -- whatever it showed after the re-save, it would stay that way till the next time I resaved. I could keep doing that, but it's a pain, so I just made a banner for my site, and noted both my vape-start and cigarette-stop dates.
I have a counter at my own site that actually updates as it's supposed to, so I can use that to stay abreast of my quit-time.
