Coded Signatures Image zies problem

Hey code gurus,

I get this error when trying to load code signatures such as a steam sig or strava sig

It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct.

What do i need to do to get it to work?

img tags will only work with an actual image file ending in gif, jpg or png.
Is it a script generating an image instead?

Im just copying the bbcode link for my profile from the steam sig site. Im not sure why it doesnt work for me though as quite a few guys here have them.

Same issue here when trying to list my minecraft server in the footer, the code is below:

Code: Select all

[url=http://minecraftservers.org/server/210162][img]http://status.minecraftservers.org/classic/210162.png[/img][/url]
And it should be displaying as this:

Image

Won't work on here for some reason?

If an admin can override the protections could they process it for me? In place of the radio banner currently there.

Yeah, co-owned with a friend. Jump on and check it out if you feel like it, PlanetMC has a better summary of it to give you an idea of gameplay

I suspect it's a script generated image and not an image itself. As such it can't determine the dimensions and so can't display it.

Ok cool, I can probably get around that by writing my own script that will download it hourly and link to that instead :D

It works!!

I can likely fix the forum signature detection method now too if you wanted me to take a look into it? PM me if you like, it is a problem with the user agent mask on the cURL header.

I can also host peoples signatures on the same script generator if you are having the same issues as me, or if you have your own linux web hosting server I can give you the code to DIY

Enforcer-J want me to try this with your signature code?
