The problem is the php gd library (which is what we're all using to make these images, is not very good at handling png transparency, I'm not sure how it fares with gif transparency. To make things have transparent areas, you have to make them transparent after it's loaded the image, instead of it being beautifully transparent in the first place. This creates jaggedy edges and other problems.

to make a page pull the viewer's IP address. It can then be inserted to a text renderer and sent back. It's like those sigs that tell you your ip, OS, and browser type.

I don't see its use though....

But what does my sig's image say? Is it your IP or a special message? You probably changed IP since my record.

Its use could be infinite. For example, targeted messages in the language the user speaks (by looking it up on whatismyipaddress) and making yourself understandable by them.

Or it could display special messages for your friends. Or even better, display update news for all mod share users (I have an IP database of them) and instead advertising Mod Share User Registration for those who aren't.

Dynamic IP addresses are the most annoying thing when it comes to things like storing users ip addresses, as they change every so often, and it means that you can't track what they've done anymore.

Yup. But maybe sparks's case is simply a different network for the summer.
And dynamic addresses are great for whoever's behind them, but not for sites. I must be a nightmare: right now, it changes every single time I connect to the internet. At home, it changes every 12 hours tongue

I'm just glad my ip address is static, makes doing lots of other things easier, such as hosting game servers, web servers etc.

True, but I don't feel like I need to host so many game servers etc. I'm fine with my dynamic IP. wink

Get the newest project sig!

Code:

I added the attribute num because that's what I used for my sig to make it show Warp.

I don't know if there was supposed to be a message for me in that link, LS97, it was just my IP, but you're right, messages tailored to users is a nice idea, though it does require those users to somehow be linked to their IP.

sparks · 2011-07-29 08:11:54

Nice to see you're using my sig idea there, whizzer, though Could I ask that you re-host the images? Dropbox isn't great at handling LOTS of image pulls. You may like to actually personalise it a little yourself too tongue

ProgrammingFreak · 2011-07-29 14:51:35

I have an idea! How about having a link to the last post? Maybe I could fiddle with that....

Well. For that to work there would have to be a place that lists all your posts in chronological order...

Yeah, I thought about that earlier. I actually wish they did that anyways. I don't like their current 'your posts' system. neutral

Right, I'm off to Switzerland for a week, be back on monday the 7th, may drop in here but won't be able to do any work on the API.

Tschuess!

Does anyone have any idea how I could put a newest project thing into my sig without messing it up?

What do you mean by "messing it up?"

sparks · 2011-07-30 01:13:49

there's space in the bottom-left corner, just put the stats there and apply the online/offline bit to the message in the bottom-right.

Too much tongue It's hard to catch up when you've been away for so long.

Let's see:
custom background image + text? more online/offline customization?

Could you link me to the actual images I need to host?
And yeah, I did notice everything takes a while to show up.
EDIT: Just opened the offline/online image in a new tab to see the URL, and look what happened:
