You do it the same way you add images to posts, by the ['img'] tag.

Code: [Select]
[img]link to image[/img]

You could also use
Code: [Select]
[ img width=500 height=150 ] link to gif [ /img ] to control the size of you gif. I would be user friendly if it doen't fill p the screen for us.
You can vary those numbers to fit your needs.

No, it's not OK. Please proceed to kill yourself, as there is no other possible solution to this pit of madness.

Fuck upstream linked images anyway, not only speed but also data leaks.

one more question..how can i have a signature that describes ip address of the viewer..?

for example, if 'X' views any of my post or profile, my signature would show his IP Address, Country,etc.. i googled for it but i couldn't get what i was looking for..any help..?

Cleaned up the thread, lots of useless trolling and bullshit.

If you want a signature that changes depending on who looks at it, you need to generate a new image on the fly every time someone views it. You can easely do this with PHP and GD (http://php.net/manual/en/book.image.php).

I adblock/blacklist any signature that is too large for my taste, or just annoying.

Quick and effective. Will never see it again  :D
That is what I normally do as well :P

I think what  OP meant was like a signature that either captures the user's IP address and generates data about it; then either displays it in the image or logs it for OP.
I don't think either of those thoughts are gonna be any friendly to EZ members who most of them trust the EZ network with many of there private data.
But i think it could be done programmatically. There are already alot of techniques for images to capture IP addresses when they are view, let me see what google will say.

Then let him embed this html in his image.
Code: (html) [Select]
<a href="http://www.danasoft.com"><img src="http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg" border="0"></a><p><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;">Sign by Danasoft - <a href="http://www.danasoft.com">Get Your Sign</a></p></div>

Danasoft images are OK, however very overused by little kids in gaming forums. The custom scripts that show you your IP is what troubles me - no one knows what info the script is logging...
Title: Re: Signature
Post by: ande on July 14, 2014, 06:21:02 PM
Its not like we have any control over these things at the moment. And there is not really a whole lot we can do, other than banning external links completely. Which has a lot of drawbacks.

Just like the image I posted anyone can create it and be logging your information with a normal image on any page at anytime without telling you so is this really a threat? Kiddy? Sure, harmful? Not so much. Think about just how many kids use this image, that would be a lot of ips to harvest and scan for open ports and try to do anything malicious...

Then let him embed this html in his image.
Code: (html) [Select]
<a href="http://www.danasoft.com"><img src="http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg" border="0"></a><p><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;">Sign by Danasoft - <a href="http://www.danasoft.com">Get Your Sign</a></p></div>

Why would you needed the HTML, just copy the image and put it in IMG bbcode tags

I could setup a script on the local/remote personal server and log these IP addresses, try to pwn any new IP and then build a bot net. It would be an easy way to get slave for my bot net. I won't succeed with all of them but it will harvest enough after sometime.

Just incase he wanted to roll his own image with the same shit.
