So I'd like a fancy ticker with signature, but evidently I [ ... ] suffer from low frustration tolerance. Any suggestions?

Just click on one of the tickers here already and follow the instructions. You will want to start with something like "make a new ticker".

I made mine here: http://www.tickerfactory.com/eztick...er_designer.php

There are lots of options on the site to customize your ticker. Once you've got your stats put in and your background/slide-y thing chosen, click "next" and you'll be taken to a little preview page to make sure everything's the way you want.

Under your ticker there's two boxes with computer mumbo-jumbo in each - copy the works in the first one (called bbCode) and paste it into your signature here. Then do that to update your ticker when you've got a loss = easy peasy!
