    My signature's pretty simple, but it's actually cause it's always supposed to change.

    Sig
    Avatar

    Refresh the pages and you'll see them change.

    There's no danger using that script; many people do so on other forums with heavy trafic.

    That's why I'd like you to enable PHP as an extention for signatures and REMOTE avatars. Why remote? Cause if you put it for uploads too, it'll show all sigs in the avatar folder. (It randomizes the image shown from a folder.)

    No.

    We'll have idiots coming in here using malicious PHP scripts and ruining things, so we're not enabling it.

    And Alex already said no. :lol:

    Yeah, Alex said no.

    We can't allow the script because others may come in with the php images and cause trouble. Don't worry, we totally trust you, but there are people who will try to take advantage of allowing the extensions. We're sorry. :)

    Just do like Alex's LPA avatars and make them random with an allowed image extension.
