Like you banner Jeremy. How does one get it?
Sort of, yeah. It's on the members page. Look to the side.
I made mine myself, based on code i cobbled together from various sources. I haven't coded in several years but dammit i just had to have a banner, and i had to have it exactly like i wanted it. It's written in PHP. If you have a host, i could post the code, but i've got to sterilize and neutralize it first.
Nice..I haven't coded one of those in years either.
My poor Opera 12.16 browser is feeling badly that your script thinks it's on a console or phone though..
Don't worry, I didn't show the script...
I don't even know what that is. There's no CSS involved at all. I think that's just what Opera uses to display a lone image. Anyway, the code is server-side, so you're not even looking at it at all. But i'm posting it here anyway.Nice..I haven't coded one of those in years either.

This is probably super-inefficient code. It's been the better part of a decade since i've written anything at all. Feel free to tidy it up. I tried to comment the shit out of it for clarity; for best results, remove all that crap once you understand what you're doing.
Lastly, as evidenced in my original post on this thread, i'm clearly AWFUL at even the simplest math, so as the Department of Homeland Security might say, "if you see something, say something."
signature_bar.php

Well, I would hope the PHP script is server-side.
It's just Dragonfly viewing the signature_bar.php.
Right. So why were you trying to imply that you could actually see the code underneath? Or that Opera's own stylesheet was somehow part of it?Well, I would hope the PHP script is server-side.

Bah, it's late, I've been up for like 16 hrs and I just saw it wrong.

In my profile it written that I'm from 1 January 1970 that's 44 years, but I'm from 20 June 1978 LoL Don't know what happened when I was putting up my account, but know for sure that I didn't write that in it. Hehehe

That makes so much more sense now. Get some sleep!
What happens when you try to update it?In my profile it written that I'm from 1 January 1970 that's 44 years, but I'm from 20 June 1978

Only tried changing it on TapaTalk but couldn't do that, a tekst was poping up that says that I should contact admin for changing it.. tryed to pm Joe about it but I apparently can't pm him either.. think I gonna try see if I can change it on the labtop lather to day..
Yeah it turns out you have to PM one of the mods. Any of them will do. I think you can actually PM multiple people with that function IIRC.

I mentioned in another thread that I may have a couple of suggestions. Well, I really only have one, other than whatever other do-dads people want to add to their own banners: instead of typing the shadow and highlight lines individually and doubling up on all that keyboard time (and possibly introducing weirdnesses between the shadow and highlight), assign the individual line messages to variables and just type the variables into the imagettftext() functions.
If you need an example, I'd be happy to post mine.
Thank you again for actually doing the research on this! I had no idea of that function, which makes all this possible!
Thanks! I was going to tackle that very thing when i had the time. If you don't mind, i would love to see how you did it! I'm pretty sure i know exactly what you mean but i haven't actually tried it out yet.I mentioned in another thread that I may have a couple of suggestions.

[EDIT] here's my attempt, though i'm sure this could be done far more efficiently somehow. I'm usually only able to code late at night after my job, so my brain is usually fairly frizzle-fried by then.
Code:

$line2 = 'Cigarettes avoided: '.$cigsavoided.' in '.$packs.' packs';
$line3 = 'Money spent on better things: $'.$vapesaved.' + $'.$vapecost_ttl.' shamelessly vaporized';
// the spacing
$line1vert = 16;
$line2vert = 32;
$line3vert = 48;
$line4vert = 64;
// THE MAGIC: set font size, font angle, horizontal position, vertical position, color, fontface, text
// Add the text - drop shadow
imagettftext($im, 12, 0, $left_margin-2, $line1vert+2, $black, $fontb, $line1);
imagettftext($im, 10, 0, $left_margin-2, $line2vert+2, $black, $fontb, $line2);
imagettftext($im, 9, 0, $left_margin-2, $line3vert+2, $black, $font, $line3);
imagettftext($im, 8, 0, $left_margin-1, $line4vert+2, $black, $fontb, $quotation);
// Add the text
imagettftext($im, 12, 0, $left_margin, $line1vert, $blue, $fontb, $line1);
imagettftext($im, 10, 0, $left_margin, $line2vert, -$cyan, $fontb, $line2);
imagettftext($im, 9, 0, $left_margin, $line3vert, -$white, $font, $line3);

Other than customizing mine to suit my needs, that's exactly what I did, minus the $line(x)vert declarations! Good idea!
If you Guys like to tinker with stuff, you would have a ball with a Arduino. Code makes it work, write very simple programs.

I'm sure I could learn, but I don't know any Javascript, if it's similar to that. I only know enough PHP to get me in trouble.
Oh, and I played around with one that I could use over at that other place:

Here's a newer version where the quit date isn't hard coded into the banner itself. Funny, i spent so many bits manipulating the damn thing, but i never bothered to format it nicely and just spit it out literally onto the actual banner.

Funny!
I'm not quite finished with my first beginner's PHP & MySQL book, and I only knew what I did before that from running a bunch of phpBB and vBulletin fora.
I decided that I'd like to actually learn PHP and MySQL, so I picked up a couple of Kindle books.
I only made my initial suggestion because I made sure to check and double-check those lines before realizing I should combine them into one variable.
I'm Retired! I'm trying to forget. I don't even know how many languages I know. Retired computer engineer.
When I have nightmares it's always in zero's & Ones.
phpBB - wow. That brings back some memories. I ran several boards with that, years back. Good stuff. I actually went to check up on them a little while back and they're apparently STILL on v2. Seems they've stalled or something, or maybe they've just been super micro-incremental for the past ten fucking years.Funny!

I coded for several years in the early noughts but i haven't touched it in about the same amount of time. Never did it for a living or anything. I've forgotten so much that PHP is nearly brand new for me now.
I think my next project will be to fix my broken WordPress install. I hacked it up so badly back in the day (adding bells and whistles
) that it just runs like shit and is downright broken in some spots now.
Me to fellow employee, This routine is complete, let's go compile some lunch.
For a couple of years there my nightmares actually had code delimiters at the beginning and end.When I have nightmares it's always in zero's & Ones.
