**ooo, I like the random-pic idea. How does a php page return an image, though? Never knew there was code for that. **
If you view source for the page, you can see he’s using a php script to randomly send an image to the IMG tag.

The source, or the image properties…either way, I sent SuperD my source (all of 10-20 lines) yesterday, but he hasn’t looked at it yet (or denied the receipt). It is really simple to do, because PHP is so beautiful.

amen brutha.
I just made myself a pretty little sig pic… woohoo! I am so very proud of myself.
On second thought, it’s a bit large… I’ll play around with it and see if i can cut the size down some.
There we go, down to 20k from 41k… had to sacrifice a bit of quality but it’s all good, so long as you’re not looking at that picture too closely. 
I see a couple of people from my team in that picture, Isabel 
Heheh, yup… that was just after we’d won the qualifying round together at KSC and were having our victory run-around-and-hug-and-chant-each-other’s-team-number celebration. God that was fun. 
Yeah! I finally figured it out. Now I just have to go make a creative one!
weedie, I see you’re hosting the pic off of geocities… thats a no-go. Geocities did it so that you can’t link to geocities-hosted images from anywhere but geocities. You need to find a better host.
Oh, and brandon, how about we get some max dimensions for signature pics? isabel, yours is cool, but it’s a bit too big. I mean, when it gets to the point that pics in the signature are larger than posts, well looking at the pic takes away from the post. I know lots of boards have maximum dimmensions, and it works out nice (flashkit.com for example is I believe 40x300 and that works well). Whaddya guys think?
any suggestions on where to find a host for one pic?
If you ask brandon nicely (meaning suck up/kiss his feet/bring him a nice fluffly pillow as he lays his head down to rest), he might be able to help you
WooHoo, I made one too
hot stuff… hehe, I like the phonetic translation of your town

I remember that I’m just out of view of that picture… 
You know, if this trend keeps up, I sure do feel sorry for those people with dialup…

There’s an option to turn off images in signatures.
I’d suggest dial-up people have that off

We’ll see how it goes. There may need to be a limit.
I’m also pondering changing how the signature works.
I may make it possible to have two columns in your signature. That way you can put a graphic on one side, and people can still do the ever-popular “post my awards” signature on the other side. That’ll keep the signature vertical area down a bit.
So your sig could (optionally) look like so:
CONTENT1 ] CONTENT2 ]
instead of just
CONTENT ]
i like that idea brandon. go for it!
That’d be awesome Brandon
