Re: signatures

[P_J]

Hi,

erm, i want to edit my signature but what i want in it contains some HTML.

HTML is an option by the side of where you write the signature but its not one you can click on. Im assuming Korn has disabled it?

Any ways around this, as the end result is just a little banner 140X80 for my site.

There must be someway of doing it as that guy selling his Kawasaki had three HUGE banner links in it.

[P_J]

perhaps this is one for the korn himself.

i know HTML tags begin and end with < ___ > </ ___ >

the tags on BCF start and end with [ ___ ] [/ ___ ]

if i changed the < >'s in the code i got, to [ ]'s, recon that would work?

Yes, HTML is disabled on the forum, but BBcode isn't. The guy probably used BBcode to link the banners to his site. So basically you just have to use the same principles you apply when writing a post.

I don't know about you, but I personally think that the banners that people have been recently attaching as their signature look utterly disgusting. Of course this is my opinion and I don't want to purposely impose it on anyone, but I'm guessing the reason Kornel didn't allow them before was for something alone the same lines. Alternatively it might of just been to save loading time.

ok, i'm still none the wiser. so, how would i turn the script below into a format acceptable to BCF

(hasten to add, again, that the end result is only 140x80 so unobtrusive)

As long as the signature isn't a badly compressed image file (takes ages to download) or physically large or just downright annoying then I don't see the problem. I think when forums disable avatars and signatures it looks very clinical, like a dentist's waiting room or something

[Bendy]

[P_J]

People reading this and not sure how to do this themselves, any ideas who would know how to get it sorted?

Basically, that's a huge wodge of html with tables, a form tag and seach box (an affilliate search for CD WOW) - without html being enabled in sigs, it will never work.

You could do a link to your 'recommendation of the day' with your affilliate ID in it... that would work with BB Code.

[G]

Why exactly do you need all the tables and forms?

A pretty similar result could be achieved if you just used url's with BB code.

[Bendy]

I'm guessing he wants the search box, so we search for things, buy them and he gets the comission, the devious little minx

I'm wondering is JavaScript is disabled?

Kornel, someone told me a while back what you did to other cheat site...

Java and HTML are disabled to stop people "hijacking" pages with thier signatures which wouldn't be very hard to do (yes i know you weren't asking g )

And any commision you do make off that little link should go to the person who paid for the website and bandwidth it first came off imo

And big massive signatures with hundreds of pictures of crap in them are annoying and lame

Learn HTML or PHP or something. More interesting, more rewarding and doesn't annoy the hell out of all website visitors

Banner sigs are fugly IMO, I'm gonna poke Korn into disabling the larger ones if I see any. Simple.
