How do you get the little thing under your name that says what your mood is? I WANT ONE

Check out the little box towards the top right where it says "Welcome Shad.."

Mommy, Fox put a scary picture on his profile...Haaaaaair!

Finally got to play the arcade... dammit, Killian, you are going to get me fired! ;)

Got it! Yay! big beauty queen wave

Looks good. Thanks for all the effort that went into it. One thing I would like to see, or perhaps I'm just missing it, is the old feature of 'new posts since last visit'. I found that quite handy.

Again, thanks for all the work.

Agreed - everything looks awesome and the arcade is back! Guess I'm not gettin' anything done at work today.

Duh, just found the 'new posts' button... thanks!

Wow, freaking awesome job, Killian!! It looks great! YOU THE MAN!

Site looks great man, well done sir.

Hey, man this looks great! I got a new avatar loaded. But I'm having trouble with the sig picture...
What is the size limit when linking to a file?

It's out to get you Torrin!!

I have a question. I would have PM'd The Don but there's a good chance that it isn't a site thing and I can get help from someone else that knows a little something something about this here series of tubes.

On the old site I was able to use the signature generators (like the one on RPGO) to make a dynamic picture that would update any time my info was uploaded.

What seems to be happening here is that I'll post the code: [img = the snazzy image I want generated] When I then hit preview or post it takes that code and makes a current generation of the data and then saves the info as a picture. What that means is... no dynamic updates. If I want it to update I have to go back in delete the picture (which is no longer shown as code) in my signature and post the code again.

I realize that these things aren't perfect. If the armory is down or the site I used is down my signature won't display properly but it seems easier than having to post the code every time I log off.

So my question then is: Is this a limitation of the new site? Is there some other flag I can put in the signature so that it doesn't convert it to an image? Is this a limitation of me as a person? OK... that's more like 3 questions I suppose.

Close...
when you put that URL in and call it the server (not the boards) generates that image. Every time that URL is called, the server generates a new image (or, how ever often they have it scheduled to). A couple of things to take into account:
1) You may have an old image cached... -reload ftw
2) The image generating site may only grab new data from it's sources at a less than convenient rate (wouldn't know, my stats are practically static). Slow re-loads ftl
3) The source for the image generating site may only update every so often... again, slow re-loads ftl.

That's assuming I'm reading your question correctly.

No, that's what I want to happen.

What is actually happening is our site is replacing the code I'm putting in my signature with an image that it generates that will not change.

Have a look at yours.

It says you have 1028 RAP and 15.19% Ranged Crit.

When I click the link the armory claims you have 1270 RAP and 16.78% Ranged Crit.

Also: If you go into your user CP to edit your signature you'll notice that the code isn't there any more and that it is replaced by a static image that you'll have to delete in order to update you pic.

Here is my .sig (minus the drinking part) without the ""
are you talking about the "98830uISnj.png" part being replaced?

Damn, I can't get to tachyonsix right now to test :( Once I get home I'll investigate more. But I think I see what you're talking about... Once I can test I'll see if I can get a solution for ya.

I know the sig generator that I use -- which I think is the same as yours, Fox; tachyonsix.com? -- only updates every twelve hours, not every time you log off (like the armory does).
