Rotating sigs

TheTaxidermist

Some people had sigs that would change every time you refreshed the page.

Now how does one do that ?

I'm not sure about how to do that but the title of the thread reminds me of one of my old sigs.

Rotating sigs, like the banners on Data Node one, can be done via a simple PHP script.

Here's more info:

Here's a link to the PHP source of a rotation script:

I had this issue a while ago and I never figured it out.

From what I read, it would appear that I need my own website.........

So much for that idea eh? :smileywink:

Wow, I never even thought of this. What a cool idea. But my god...all
the photoshop work it would entail! But boy do I have some good ideas!
Thanks to you folks who posted the links for more information about how
to rotate your sigs. 5 Stars to both of you SMILEY

It seems everybody has chipped in their php-based findings/scriptings already, so it's time for me to show off the script I wrote for myself. Following is a link to the source code. It's written in the Perl scripting language:

http://gaspar.crazyass.net/sig.pl?src

It's fairly simple, all I think it requires is a web server that allows CGI scripts and then correct paths. The source is slightly commented to guide you in the right direction, but I'd be more than happy to explain more of it if necessary.

It's what I use for my own rotating sig. See below =D

Edit: Hyperlinks are cool. @_@

Hmm... I used the script from the site that Kasp posted, followed the
instructions there, hosted the images and the script on Geocities, but
I cant get it to work. :smileysad:

I think it may be Geocities, but I'm not sure. Anybody have any suggestions for me?
