recently runescape had announced signatures for people to use in "fan-sites"...and i don't think i have seen anyone use it? i just want to know why people haven't been using it?

They didn't announce sigs, just a more efficient way for current sigs to extract the data from their servers.

but where are they? are we using it atm for our stat sigs?

If the site set it up to do so

 

 

 

All it is, is instead of loading your stats from the highscores, along with a ton of other info that doesn't even make it into your sig, jagex made a streamlined version where it only retrieves the numbers from the highscores,a much smaller filesize and faster loading.

 

 

 

The only people it matters to are the people who scripted these signatures basically. Not the users or anything. Ask whoever made your sig if they're using it, but in the end it makes no difference to you. Only jagex' bandwidth.

 

 

 

For example, your old sig would download this:

 

http://hiscore.runescape.com/hiscoreper ... 1=anish00b

 

 

 

Whereas the new one downloads only this:

 

http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite ... r=Anish00b

 

 

 

that's all it is, a smaller filesize

And both are impossible to read via javascript, woot! =D>

Then you don't know your javascript very well. I'm fairly certain that you can read that with javascript. And if not, who cares? Run a server with PHP and hit up the site for that when you update the images :o :D

The new page only uses 3% of the file size it previously did, so this will be great for Jagex's bandwidth; dynamic signatures won't be very noticeable now. :)

All that form does is provide fansites an easier way to query user stats, which of course is done in the background. From what I know, RuneWeb uses that stat query now. Most of the other fansites with stat signatures may use them, but I can only confirm RuneWeb as of right now.
