Hello:

My signature has stopped working (maybe when I changed my password?) and I notice that one or two others have the same problem -- but not all of you!
I re-did it using the handy sticky in this section -- but it still is busticated...

Any hints to getting it working -- or why it isn't?

I believe SPCR's phpBB is configured to not render images if the URL "does not look like an image" (my guess); perhaps it's a result of some upgrade...

I don't fold myself but I notice this when I tried to post some images to the general gallery.

Mine was working a little while ago. lets see about now

here is the code for mine

http://www.liquidninjas.com/dc/ln_dc_si ... team=31574

copy/pasted from profile

Oh well, there goes my little theory... we need new theories now ...

I'm glad you saw that wing, now mine quit.

As an experiment I copy pasted Neil's sig code in to my sig to see if I ended up with two sigs and I ended up with 2 codes. I went back and deleted Neil's and it still doesn't work.

Maybe voodoo?

I have my liquidninja folding stats sig at the bottom of my yahoo email.

I just checked it and it is working, so the problem must be at SPCR level.

I think it needs a good nites sleep to heal itself

Perhaps I can amend my little theory and someone who knows how phpBB works can check whether I'm way off or not.

I am guessing that phpBB disables [img] tags when phpBB somehow thinks that the URL is not an image (sounds reasonable enough), but a recent upgrade/reconfiguration has changed phpBB's idea of what "looks like an image URL" means, and perhaps this check is only done when you edit and save something, so old sigs continue to work, but they get broken as soon as it gets edited and saved...

Or, my current guess of what is broken is: the code inside phpBB that does the guessing of what looks like an image URL or not

Nothing to do with me at all !!!


Though mine still being there due to me being more 'chosen' might have something to do with it.....

There's an easy way to test both your theory and my theory at the same time! Just edit your sig a bit and save it and see if it turns into code

Just incase it helps anyone figure out what's going on, I copied the link from my sig, hit the Img button, pasted in, then rehit Img.




Yet my sig still works


Strange.

This has something to do with the new phpBB version. The same happened at the folding-community.org forums. As long as you don't change anything in your profile it keeps working. But new and changed profiles don't understand that it is an image.

Hello Tibors:

I suspected as much -- although this is just a minor thing, rusulting from the hacking...I'm sure it will be cleared up if and when it becomes the most important issue! If not, I'll just live without the stats part of my sig...

I'm pretty sure it will not be fixed as long as this forum uses phpBB 2.0.11. The admin at folding-community.org looked into it and didn't solve it. He's fairly knowledgable about it. He moddifies the code of phpBB for his own forums.

So until further notice, no new liquid-ninja FAH sigs on SPCR?

The sig's still arnt working , any update on the subject yet?.

$*X@$!#&*(^(*&X- Hackers!

May everyone of them die of cancer the day before we find the cure!

I just noticed that it's not just the sigs that's messed up, but regular IMG tagged files as well.
I had several posts in the gallery with linked images to my Snapfish account that no longer display. For those of you not familiar with Snapfish, their image links look like this:
http://images.snapfish.com/34278%3C%3B9 ... 9%3Anu0mrj
If you paste this into an IMG tag you won't get to see the picture, just code like this.


MikeC, we need your help!

DO NOT EDIT your Signature, unless you want to get rid of your stats.

I found out the hard way!!!!!

Me sadly too - I wanted to enlighten one member that is enought to edit the signature as in HTML style (the img src= tag) - and I lost my sig as well, bloody hell!!!

Problem ??? ... What Problem ??? ... ...


My only problem is not enough computers to fold on...

Heads up, Fellow Folders...

Well that certainly looks like the LN sigs will never return. Now if everybody can remove them from their sig. That saves some useless bandwidth gobbling.

If there's nothing to retrieve... how does it gobble up bandwidth?...


Pete 'The Unknowing'...

It is not much, but for every broken link image that is displayed:

• The SPCR server uses some cycles for the php engine to translate the [ img ] blah blah [ /img ] text in the database to < img src="blah blah" border="0" / >
• Then those characters are send to my computer.
• My computer then asks the LN server: Can I have blah blah.
• Finally the LN server says to my computer: Sod off, you are not allowed to receive that image!

Sure, when it worked it used more bandwidth. But then it was usefull. Now it ain't.

The type of sigs me and wooglin have still recruit folders, the broken images don't.

Aw shucks Tibors, thanks! Did I ever mention that I'm 1/2 dutch?
