Images in signature?
, Tue Feb 01 2011, 05:14AMAre pictures in forum signatures disabled? Because I really wanted to use it for this website for Minecraft server statuses: http://www.runepoint.net

Nah.. Spammy images are, like, ginormous monsters that take a minute+ to load. 404 had a huge image of the planet (forgot what location now) and so he got that nice mod-edit.

Feel free to try different ones. Just try to remember not everyone has unlimited bandwidth.

Well, I couldn't get the one from my original post to work at all. I tried even to just copy the address from the code it generates and place it in img tags, and that didn't even work. Could I get someone else to try it and make sure I'm just not doing something retarded, which is very possible.

Its not working for me either. There are two problems with it that I can think of off the top of my head:
The first problem is the simg tag. It is for dynamically resizing images so they are not wider than the forum width, so it doesn't break the layout of the page. That simg tag isn't supported by every bulletin board, so you might be stuck using just the img tag.
The second problem, the image retrieved is handled by a PHP script and is served dynamically. There is no static URL to point to, that ends with .JPG or .GIF or .PGN, etc. Some bulletin board software can't handle using PHP served images and demand any image inside the img tag to be a static URL. One that ends with the file extension.
Again, not sure if this BB software can do either of those two things, so either/both might be the cause of the malfunction.

Ahh, thanks for the informative reply. Broonie, should this forum be able to support dynamic links?

It goes into the roots of the forum software, and a rather long story, but html and php is highly restricted, and from what I think it is, is to protect against XSS attacks.
