  1. When you press the quote button at the moment it links to something like this : You can see it passes the post ID as a get variable: p=6010987 All it does it looks that post up in the database and print it with quote tags. It would be very difficult to have it keep track of quotes across more than one page and integrate it with phpBB as it would have to store this data somewhere which it doesn't currently do. I don't have the time to work on modifying this to do that in the very limited use it would get and from such a small amount of users.
  2. The mod in the first post specifically doesn't do multiple pages and you'd be very hard pushed to find/create one that does. :roll:
  3. Actually the PHP code is very fast, it can get data about 10s or probably even hundreds of items in a very short amount of time, it also caches the results to a MySQL database for the day to make it even quicker and also to speed things up. The problem is with the forum, it only allows use of HTML replacements, could do it with an iframe but we all know they suck.
  4. If you're referring to the signatures updating every 24 hours, Peter talked to a Jagex Mod and they confirmed that it was not breaking any rules. They actually update every 12 hours. :P I spoke with Jagex who confirmed that as long as we're using their "lite" feed for the high scores we can update whenever we want, how do you think other fan sites get away with doing it? :lol: You know that Tip.It supports Jagex rules and this is no exception, we had everything checked out to be within the rules before this went anywhere near public.
  5. I already have stuff coded that can easily grab everything needed from the GE it's integrating it into the forum that's annoying. :P
  6. You mean like allowing uploads of custom poses and backgrounds, you're right, that is a good idea. Oh, wait...
  7. It takes 12 hours from when your sig is first created to update. As you can see it has now updated to reflect your 83 attack. It's not instant otherwise we'd be contacting Jagex EVERY time a sig is loaded.
  8. We can provide the transparencies we use for the levels and also for the icons for both F2P and P2P, a preview feature is more difficult as it means adding not only an extra step to the uploads, but deleting files if they're not wanted, dealing with them if someone exits half way through, ensuring they're not linkable outside of the system, then there's actually creating the image, if we do a preview we're effectively doing the processing twice so it's not a great solution. Hopefully this answers the PM too. I'll sort out the transparencies tomorrow it's 5am I need some sleep. :lol:
  9. Funnily enough Lordofrah1, this is has been on the cards since before the Dynamic Sigs were released, so it's not that at all.
  10. None of our graphics or anything would support this and it would involve massive changes to the system. We went through months with a topic in this forum discussing the designs of the signatures to get this far so they won't be changed in such a large way at this stage.
  11. Actually I turned it on in the phpBB config. We've been looking into speeding up the load times on the forum pages, there are two reasons GZip isn't on. 1) The forum CPU load is already massive. 2) Because of this GZip actually makes the pages load slower (or gives no gain at all). This will be turned back off once I've finished recording my results.
  12. It says it on the site where you upload your images, the file size limitations and also the best pixel sizes for both poses and background. If you don't want your image stretched but want the same picture you have them just make the background of it larger and put the picture on it. So if your current pose image is 100x108, for example, then just add 22 pixels of transparency to one of the sides.
  13. The system is trying to tell you that the file you uploaded is not a valid PNG file, and looking at the image that you linked it is correct in doing so. Open the image in a text file and you'll see the first few lines read: However if you open a valid PNG image in notepad you'll see the following: You need to save your image as a PNG file, it looks to me as if you just changed the file extension.
  14. I'm not quite sure how you uploaded something that lost so much quality. I downloaded your 57.8kb background directly from that ImageShack link. I then downloaded your pose from the server and used that as a custom pose and I came out with this. Original 57.8kb PNG: Tip.It Compressed Sig: There is some loss I'll admit but considering it's being done server side I'd say that's perfectly acceptable.
  15. Again there's nothing rejected, accepted or submitted under that RSN. Are you sure it submitted and can you try again? If there was anything then the checker link would display it.
  16. May I ask what RuneScape name you're submitting these images under? I don't find any accepted, rejected or even awaiting-moderation requests under the name skatedog111.
  17. We've finally got around to releasing these for you all to play with! If you haven't been keeping up with the topic in Forum Updates then we'll give you a quick rundown of the features that our stat signatures have: -- Hosted on Tip.It's reliable servers. -- Choose from a large selection of backgrounds and poses. -- Choose whether you would prefer a signature using only F2P skills or not. -- Ability to upload your own background and/or pose for your signature. -- Choice of whether to overlay the skill icons on your custom background or not. -- Easily editable quest points. -- Moderated images to ensure no nasty content. We're considering this a soft release to iron out any bugs that may occur when released to a large number of users, so if you do discover any bugs then please report them to us so we can fix them. The release will be announced on the main site in a few days time. To get started you simply need to go to http://www.tip.it/runescape/?dynamic and click your option of choice. You'll also notice there's some other options there you may not be familiar with: Updating Quest Points - This link gives you a small tutorial on how to easily change the quest points value in your signature without having to regenerate it. Check Custom Sig Stats (If No E-Mail Received) - When your signature is approved or rejected, you will usually receive an e-mail telling you the verdict on your submitted image(s). If for some reason you don't receive the e-mail or you want to check the progress of your signatures you can click this link and enter your RuneScape username to be presented with a list of your signatures and their progress through the moderation system. We hope you enjoy the stat signatures and bear with us while we fix any bugs you may run into. You can discuss the signature release here --> Dynamic Signatures Released!

  19. Release will be today - and you assume I don't have FTP access to the servers, which would be wrong. 8-) I thought Silvery was the only one with access for security reasons, anyways why wait for tomorrow when you could upload now? Staff have been testing the signatures on the Tip.It servers for quite some time now. And I've already said it will be today not tomorrow. :P
  20. Release will be today - and you assume I don't have FTP access to the servers, which would be wrong. 8-)
  21. I knew I shouldn't have made forum posts or talked to people on MSN while drunk, what have I agreed to now?!
  22. Signature URL lengths have been decreased again. Maximum length for a custom signature is now 38 characters. Maximum length for any other signature is now 48 characters. We're looking at a release within 2 days.
