Hey! School just got out, maybe I will have ‘time’ and make one. Perhaps I should become creative first!
I finally got around to removing some lines from my signature and putting in a pic. I asked some people which image I should use, but they each chose a different one. Instead of debating over the matter further, I decided to just show a random pic with each view…lets see if it works out.
ooo, I like the random-pic idea. How does a php page return an image, though? Never knew there was code for that.
Would someone like to let me in on the secret of how to post a sig. pic after you create one? Ummmmmm…

Its got to be soemwhere on the internet (your teams website, or your personal website, etc) Then use the vBcode IMG tag to place it in your signature. More info about vBcode is found here , i think.

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
