Signature

[Sherlock Holmes]

How do i use an image(gif) as my signature? I mean there's no "Specify signature by url" then how should i do it? And yes i resized it to 500*250 pixels..

You do it the same way you add images to posts, by the ['img'] tag.

Code: [Select]

[img]link to image[/img]

ok..done..thank you..

You could also use

Code: [Select]

[ img width=500 height=150 ] link to gif [ /img ] to control the size of you gif. I would be user friendly if it doen't fill p the screen for us.
You can vary those numbers to fit your needs.

ah thanks. i have used 500*200 if that would be ok..

No, it's not OK. Please proceed to kill yourself, as there is no other possible solution to this pit of madness.

Personally I hate moving signatures and we should ban them...

They're annoying and they make the page load slowly.

I think thats necessary.

Fuck upstream linked images anyway, not only speed but also data leaks.

one more question..how can i have a signature that describes ip address of the viewer..?

for example, if 'X' views any of my post or profile, my signature would show his IP Address, Country,etc.. i googled for it but i couldn't get what i was looking for..any help..?

Cleaned up the thread, lots of useless trolling and bullshit.

If you want a signature that changes depending on who looks at it, you need to generate a new image on the fly every time someone views it. You can easely do this with PHP and GD (http://php.net/manual/en/book.image.php).

I adblock/blacklist any signature that is too large for my taste, or just annoying.

Quick and effective. Will never see it again 

That is what I normally do as well

I think what  OP meant was like a signature that either captures the user's IP address and generates data about it; then either displays it in the image or logs it for OP.
I don't think either of those thoughts are gonna be any friendly to EZ members who most of them trust the EZ network with many of there private data.
But i think it could be done programmatically. There are already alot of techniques for images to capture IP addresses when they are view, let me see what google will say.
