Lol, maybe you should ask sparks?

What? I check here sometimes... But I rarely post.

It's possible (I have it in my sig), but it can't be automated for good reasons.
So you have to code it yourself in PHP and no one can help you

Well, Daffy22 could help, but I don't see him around lately... 

I could help too    but it's not something that can be standardized.

I know. 

Except I can't find it and also I don't want to use all the bandwidth because I'm download a 500MB linux distro

lol. I'm cleaning out all my files right now, so I'll probably find it soon. 

4 seconds left for the download!
Done! (after 3 cancelled/failed downloads. One would think internet would work well enough to download only 500MBs...)

Found it.    You need an image called bg.png for this.

Code:

<?php

// find posts...
// line 1224


// start making image
//creates a image handle

$file_name= 'http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=46494';

$scratchpage = file_get_contents("http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=46494");

$start = stripos($scratchpage,'<dd><a href="search.php?action=show_user&user_id=118336">Posts</a>: ');
$end = stripos($scratchpage,'</dd>
',$start);

$posts = strip_tags(substr($scratchpage,$start + 67,$end - $start - 20));

// start
$img = imagecreatefrompng ( "bg.png" );
 
//choose a bg color, u can play with the rgb values
$background = imagecolorallocate( $img,232, 0, 135 );
 
//chooses the text color
$text_colour = imagecolorallocate( $img, 250, 218, 4);
$colour2 = imagecolorallocate( $img, 250, 218, 4);
 
//sets the thickness/bolness of the line
imagesetthickness ( $img, 3 );
 
//draws a line  params are (imgres,x1,y1,x2,y2,color)
imageline( $img, 20, 130, 165, 130, $text_colour );
 
//pulls the value passed in the URL
$text = 'Posts';
 
// place the font file in the same dir level as the php file
$font = 'font.ttf';
 
//this function sets the font size, places to the co-ords
imagettftext($img, 12, 0, 6, 15, $colour2, $font, $text);
//places another text with smaller size
imagettftext($img, 13, 0, 15, 35, $text_colour, $font, $posts);
 
//alerts the browser abt the type of content i.e. png image
header( 'Content-type: image/png' );
//now creates the image
imagepng( $img );
 
//destroys used resources
imagecolordeallocate( $text_color );
imagecolordeallocate( $background );
imagedestroy( $img );
?>

That's Daffy's code exactly how I saw it!
Mine's a bit enhanced... it changes color for special posts automatically and doesn't do some of the useless stuff on there 

Wait. The urls I have on that are my own threads. I must have added that.
