Too bad he's using an asp based system. If it were php, I could whip up a wonderful site.
Updated my avie to include the English spelling of my nick, btw.

Gimme boring old .NET/SQL any day for infrastructure. I'll use FotoChop and Flash if I want to get creative.

When you get into the 'single developer tiny project's then you find that. I could argue the same for various projects one can build designed for the Visual series.

Oh, and decided to whip up my own dynamic sig.
Like?

Þornbjörg;665843 said:Hmm... I could probably whip something up.
Would it be bad if it required apache, php5+, gd, and mod_rewrite?

Have the 'generator' take their start date, cost per cigarette, cost per equivalent in ecigarettes, and startup price and generate a link such as:
domain.tld/signature/MTI1NDYyMTYwMC0wLjI3NS0wLjAwMjUtNjU=.png
Now, take mod_rewrite and rewrite that url to:
domain.tld/signature/generate.php?v=MTI1NDYyMTYwMC0wLjI3NS0wLjAwMjUtNjU=
Once you have that, if you can't tell, it's a base64_encoded string.. decoding it should give you the string 1254621600-0.275-0.0025-65
Now, match against it to set your variables up, and generate the image.
This would save needing to make a bunch of png files (which are really just php files with a custom file handler) to generate the signatures.
Make sense?
Like I said, I'll write something tomorrow, complete with graphics.
peeks and pokes... duh
lol.. I knew I was running the risk of just sounding like a jibbering idiot.
good lord, the patience I had as a teenager with a VIC-20
