Rotating Signature Question

[Mistral]

Alright, I've talked and tried on my own, but I haven't come up with anything on my own, so I'll pose this signature question in this forum (even though it strikes me as more of a coding problem than a signature one).

Does anyone here know how I could create a rotating signature for my account on this forum? Everything I'm finding requires asp, Java, or something else that doesn't seem to work very well in forum posts. If anyone could help, I would find it most kind. Thank you in advance.

Rotating signature...like one that changes every so often?

You would most certainly need something like javascript. Or maybe something really complicated in flash (don't know if that is possible).

If you need help on how to setup, just reply. You'll need a webhost of any sort.

Edit: You can also use it for avatars btw. I'm currently using that script, everytime you refresh it will show a random signature image.

Eh... The message that guy wrote says it does not work on vBulletin... Oh well.

[polobunny]

It does, it does. Trust me because I tested it.

[Mistral]

It only doesn't work for vBulletin avatars. For sigs, it should theoretically work just fine.

I say theoretically, because I couldn't get it or some other scripts I found to work. Ironically enough, when you said you were using it for your sig then, polobunny, all I was seeing there was red x's.

[polobunny]

Only red X's? It worked fine with firefox but you might need to specify a false image adress for Iexplore.

Here it is, firefox working version

And here it is Iexplorer version

Edit: Whoa now I can't make it work.

[Mistral]

Um...I hate to say it, but both of those are red x's when linked to the forums, though both work fine when copy-pasted to the address bar. I'm using IExplore...

EDIT: A cache may have explained why you could see it where I couldn't...maybe?

It's really a pity we can't upload PHP or ASP scripts to the forums themselves...should we ask Masj about the possibility of adding a script for rotating sigs/avatars? That one does have a point failure on the forums themselves, after all, rather than in the code itself...

[polobunny]

Sometimes the image loads sometime not.

Now wait a second...could you use a gif or something? Or whatever the moving emoticons are?

Well I supose you could...

But I want to have like a Radom Avatar thing going... I have too many to change them myself.

Yeah, that would definately be a different problem alltogether.

[Mistral]

And I was looking for a random rotation by reload, rather than rotation by time, which means a gif, for my purposes, is right out.

If you have a webhost with PHP, I can give you the necessary file so that you can place it in your sigs folder to make them rotate. To use it it would be

<img src="http://www.host.com/sigs/random.php" alt="Something" title="Something"></img >

Really easy shit. If it comes down to it, I could probably host you for a while so that you can get your own hosting.

[polobunny]

Yeah that was mostly the purpose, can by any way you could provide us the file?
Not that I need to use it at the moment, but it's always great to have this lying somewhere.
