Any chance on sizing it down a smidgen? I thought it was part of your post. 
I wanted to do something like this for my avatar when I joined, but to no avail. |

| I *think* IPB automatically detects such images and the requisite permissions must be set in AdminCP |

| *I* think you could shorten the signature somehow... either that or it will mysteriously shorten itself :ninja: |

oh, my address is a perfectly legit one and doesn't get noticed by IPB at all. nothing funky happens till your computer tries to access it. Its a work around for the no php-in-img limitation to BBCode

Obviously, nobody disabled it. Hope that they don't, too :)

Why don't you just set it so that it will interpret img.gif as a php file? That seems the easiest way. Is what you're doing now using mod_rewrite? |

It is disabled. Ive tried. observe:

Sorry, dynamic pages in the [IMG] tags are not allowed
try it for yourself :-p
No, I just use:
Code:
Redirect signature/img.gif [url="http://rancidmoose.5gigs.com/signature.php?gd=2&src=./&maxw=100"]http://rancidmoose.5gigs.com/signature.php...src=./&maxw=100[/url]

Obviously it's not or your signature wouldn't work. I meant that they hadn't disabled dynamic images, such as gifs that are interpreted as php scripts. |

except that my image isn't interpreted as a PHP script.... just redirected to one :D
basically, IPB just doesn't like the PHP extension. if it has an image ending, and it sends image data, there is no way to tell the difference unless the server is smart enough to figure out the im not constantly uploading a different image.

Right, and IPB detects that.

Uh, IPB doesn't just use the extension, that's what I'm trying to tell you. If somebody wanted to stop your signature, all they have to do is go into AdminCP and turn off dynamic images. Whammo, your sig doesn't display anymore (I think it'll just say 'user posted image'). |

You didn't disappoint me, just surprised the heck out of me. Are you sure there isn't another option like that?
Elfprince13: So is it just redirecting to another image that already exists on the server, or is the image itself made by the php script?
[EDIT]
Oohh, are some of those images hand drawn? I like the x-wing thing!

IPB has no way of knowing that the image is somehow given by a php script due to the .htaccess file.
It doesn't check when such an URL is entered manually through the admin CP (edit user) though, which is how I once set up my random avatar thing because I didn't want to use .htaccess.
Your client reads http://rancidmoose.5gigs.com/signature/img.gif, opens that URL, the apache server runs a php script due to the .htaccess file, and returns image data. Your client can't even know how the server is getting that image data.
If dynamic images where turned off, then URL's for images that show that it's a server side script or anything of that sort won't be accepted. it does nothing advanced, simply checks the URL makeup.
*turns signatures off again*

exactly. Instead of letting you read img.gif (a blank 96*64 picture), it pulls a random image out of my gallery.
Quite a few of them are hand drawn. Most of them are mine. The lighthouse was drawn by a friends brother, but Im hosting it for him. The x-wing thing is actually a Z-95 Headhunter which was the predecessor to the x-wing.
The 3-winged TIE Fighterish thing is a TIE defender. I drew both of those.

I am 99.9% certain that IPB checks more than just the extension, but as I can't give a clear example I'll concede the point.

Nice. I like the handrawn ones the best I think, that and the odd swirls ones.  |
