Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Find a host that enables php, and preferably FTP also.
Find a random image PHP scripct (google, they're everywhere) and upload all of you images and the script into the same folder. Then, place IMG tags around the url of your php script to get the images randomly showing in your signature.

See there ya go. A php script (thx hunter) and for the host, just use the one I use (see where my sigs are coming from).
Ok dude, it's not hard (why are you PM'ing me anyways? just post here)

Upload your images folder to your account, using its browser uploader or FTP (download a client like the one here: http://smartftp.com). Link to PHP script. Done.
If you don't understand FTP, you don't have to use it. t35 has some crappy browser uploading also..works fine.

I've got a version on my website that contains linking for each image as well. It requires a MySQL database.
Decided to give fireslash's little script a try. Not exactly being a coder in my own right, it took me a while to figure out that I needed to create a ./sig_img directory for the images. Also the instructions on how to use in a forum says the img location is index.php when it was sig.php as default. Other then that, for someone who doesn't know any mysql stuff besides the basic creating a database, a user to access the database, and then running a query in myphp, I'm surprised I got it to work as quickly as I did. Thanks fireslash.
[EDIT]Bleh, I knew it was too good to be true. The listing of the sigs doesn't work for me. I tried both the ?action=list that your sig uses and the ?action=getlink that was in the sig.php file's directions. At least the randomness is working even if the listing doesn't. Any suggestions?[/EDIT]
Also, another forum I frequent doesn't like me using sig.php in the img brackets, and I see you have directions for that ... i.e.,
* If the forum requires the image be a certain extension, you can make the errordoc
index.php in that folder, and point to 404.jpg.
but I don't really understand

There ISN'T a sig list (yet)
Its on my 'to-do' list with that script, I didn't think there would be much interest in it so I stopped development on it.
I'll allocate some time this week to clean it up and add some more features, just for you MÆST

Trying to use this. Can't read code. Do I create a directory? Called....??
(Using my own php host).
Create a directory. Place your images in it. Place that same "random.php" file in the directory.Peregrine said:
Stick IMG tags around the url to yuor random.php file
New version uploaded... See http://www.fireslash.com/?p=scripts
Instructions are a bit more clear, and theres some installation options.

Thanks, cool stuff. I'll set this up once I make some more sigs for myselfFireSlash said:New version uploaded... See http://www.fireslash.com/?p=scripts

One question though...why does how long a link is displayed affect the "server load" or whatever you said?
Ok, I'm really confused on your script, fireslash.
I can't even get the SIGS to work, much less the individual links. I've created a db, user, pass, given the user all permissions on the db, and entered all of the info into your script. I've placed all my sigs in a sub dir called sig_img. It still won't work.
As for adding the links...do I replace the "signame" and "link" with whatever in your index.php file, or I ahve to use something like phpMyadmin and add the info into tables themselves? Because I have no clue how to do that
edit - nevermind..just realized that those are queries for the table thingers. I'll try that..and be back in a second if it doesn't work

I'd give this a try myself. Perhaps a bit redundant, but unlike several scripts I've used in the past this has support for all common image types?
