    Sig thing..

    Anyway I can create a thing in my sig that keeps track of this:

    Registered Members: 5,332
    9,874 threads in total | 161,427 posts in total

    and will go up if a new member joins, new post, or/and a new thread.

    Does anyone know how I could do that?

    Not without querying the database, and for security reasons, vBulletin won't parse ANY scriptin that could possibly access a database.

    After all, if you could read the database, you'd also be able to write to it, and that basically gives you admin.

    As far as I'm aware, either with executing database queries, which I don't think you can do with sigs here.

    One "safe" way to do it would be to suck up to one of the admins and have then have a program run a query on the database in a chron job that ran once a day, etc... then have the program that executed the query write an output file that your sig would be able to read. But that could be a lot of work and it would take a lot of cookies to bribe the admin to help you.

    There are two admins. Of the two, I have more knowledge of technical stuff. I do not know how to do that.

    You're right, though, it would take a bugger of a lot of cookies. Because you would have to compensate me for the suffering I went through when Shlup cut off my penis with a chainsaw.

    Sorry, but those are the kinds of problems that come up at work that I'm supposed to solve so when I saw it I couldn't help but try to solve it. Meh.

    Solutions that let me keep my fladoop would be preferable, in the future.

    Yeah, I don't want you to lose your manhood due to something I don't really need.

    Maybe make a link to a dynamically generated image on another server, which every time it's called, that server grabs the forum home page of these forums, extracts the info off the page instead of the database, and creates the image on the fly to appear in your sig ?

    Ah, Liquid Darkness, sometime you're going to have to ask for something I can say yes to so that I don't feel like such a dick all the time.

    You said yes to changing my name to Liquid glass didn't you? Of course you did, so please don't feel like a dick.

    That's pretty routine, though.

    That's not the point, you said yes.You could have said, " No, I don't think so."
