Yeah yeah, I've got more important things to strain my brain with, but this is something I've been wanting to get done for a few days. You can see it at the bottom of my post, here--the only thing that really makes it special is that you post it as if it were any other ordinary image, but it's dynamic, so it always shows the current state of your collection. Anyway, I'm still experimenting with it, but if you want to get started with it on this site, you can add this line to your sig:



where is your user id. You can figure out your user id by clicking on "my collection", and noting the rightmost number in the URL.

More later as I continue to work on it...

Well, as with everything I do, it took ten times longer than it should have, but it's done. Pretty keen, eh?

Is this an option we can just turn on in our forum options or must we use the html tag?

That would be sweet if i could just turn the option on and just add my sig inside the collection sig

Also can you use your Collection sig outside of shmax like at the spark??

As a matter of fact, you can use it at the spark. I've already got mine turned on over there, and I'd love it if you'd do the same, just to see if it generates any traffic.

I think what I'd like to do is stick a "generate sig" button somewhere that just creates the necessary bbcode which will work with most popular boards. And having a switch to automatically use it on this site is pure genius on your part--now why didn't I think of that? Thanks much amigo, I'll put that on the big list.

Tec,

You don't really have to type much, although if you're using the PS3's virtual keyboard then I don't blame ya. Here's all you have to type in (pre-customized to show your collection):



Are you sure there's no cut 'n paste on the PS3?
