I've seen a lot of you have signatures/footers to your posts indicating that you have been cigarette free for x days / hours and saved y $. I clicked on one and it took me to Track the time you've been smoke-free, the money you've saved and the cigarettes you have avoided since quitting where I entered my particular variables and created a banner.

I can't figure out how to add it to my profile. I've looked every where in the profile and in settings etc. Can you point me in the right direction. Seems like a nice way of keeping track of my progress without having to look at calendar and do calculations all the time.

hmmm...I guess I don't have permissions? When I go to that page it says

Sorry, you are not permitted to have a signature.

How do I go about getting permissions for that?

You have to have a certain number of posts before you can have one I think. I'm not sure what that number is. Eventually that option will unlock for you.

If I remember right (someone correct me if I'm wrong), I think I read that you have to have 25 posts before you can add that signature/banner. Hope this helps.

You need 15 posts to activate the signature option, however, the magic does not happen immediately when you hit the magic number. The cron jobs are automatically run hourly for things like that so patience is required until the cron job runs.

For more information on what unlocks with post counts, check this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...263-new-members-how-many-posts-do-i-need.html

And if I recall, the cron job for post counts/signatures runs at 25 minutes after the hour.

It allowed me to save now so I guess 15 posts was the magic number. Also under Settings->My Settings->Edit Signature is showing up. I don't think it was even there before. Not sure if forum programmers/editors read these so pass along if you know one. It would be nice to have it greyed out / disabled then with mouse over or a click it would tell you that you need 15 posts for this option to become available. Would have saved me 30 mins digging around the menu system and then wasting all of your time asking :)

and I'm not so sure about the 28.74$ saved in past 5 days. I guess I've been off cigs for almost 5 days but in past 2 weeks I've spent maybe $150 on disposables / blu starter kit / ego-c / juice / etc. It took me a while to get 100% of cigs although I cut down to 1/4 - 1/2 pack almost instantly when I started vaping. So I think I'm actually in the hole dollar wise. It would have been cheaper if I did my research before hand. I'm sure in long run the overall costs will be lower and my lungs will also thank me for it though.

There IS a forum called Feedback and Help. And it's at the top of the forum listing, too.

Site Feedback and Help

And when you click on that, you'll see all sorts of informative things about ECF and how you go about doing things.
