    Ok, what am I doing wrong? I went to sig, slected HTML, copied and pasted html code from fuelly site - and my sig shows up as raw code, not the fuelly info...

    What did I do wrong?

    You need to use UBB code. HTML code doesn't work in a sig. :)

    When you hit code on the form - for reply - as an example -- it only has html, php, or "general code" listed....
    I will try again....

    thanks-

    I had a hard time getting it to work. First Copy the BBCode from Fuelly and insert it to Sig page using the Codebutton. Select General Code and click insert. Then you have to change the actual "
    Code:
     and 
    " to "[BBCode] and [/BBCode]" in your sig prompt. Fuelly.com does a piss poor job explaining how to get it to work on PriusChat. I thought they were related. I'm no computer science major, but discovered it by "chance". It's pretty dumb. I'm sure a lot of others on this forum have the same problem that I did. Fuelly.com only provides HTML or BBCode. I think most people wouldn't think that UBB and BB are the same.

    EDIT: Erase the first and last []. Then it shows up. Why is this so hard to do? geez... When I did the above, at least the picture showed up with the [] written out. So, I just deleted the [] at the beginning and at the end. voilla!

    EDIT II: Nevermind. I think i had trouble initially because I didn't have enough posts. I thought I had two. Anyway, it should work if you have enough posts. Good luck!
