By some fluke I've got something working using the above links and information.
Although I use and shout at them at lot everyday for work, I don't do computers well well.
I've used the code bit on page one, copy and pasted it into notepad, altered it and then pasted it into my signature.
However it is not showing the % bit on the bar.
I've tried shouting at the computer but that didn't work, any suggestions welcomed...
