Following on from the Lets see your Abstracts thread, I thought I'd open this one

Has nothing to do with me being rubbish at abstract... honest...

Okay, heres my newest creation: [aeternum is my usual handle. SiriusB is new so the only sig I have with SiriusB is err.. in my sig lol]

And this one I made only today :cool:

Good eh?

Few i did the other week for a friend. Then last week lost my hard drive with all the sigs i've done for the year :-(

i decided to just have my name in different fonts now :-

i still cant get the rotating sig to work, maybe my webspace isnt php enabled :confused:

SiriusB · 22 Dec 2005 at 23:14

[..] sig4 is too big

You just need to use a better compression method. Save as (indexed) 8-bit PNG, rather than (truecolour/RGB) 24 or 32-bit. For images like that you don't need anything more than 16 colours in the available palette.

Then for further size reduction, run them through a decent PNG crushing utility like OptiPNG. Should be no trouble to get them all below 10KB each.

71.9KB 24-bit PNG.

9.7KB 8-bit PNG

Someone is going to have to teach me how to do that

Do you have a PHP enabled webhost?

If not, I'm not sure on another way to do it.

SiriusB · 23 Dec 2005 at 13:04

Well lets assume I do for now lol. I am planning on stealing space on a mates web server and it is PHP enabled

Rob's "The GD sticky's code is too fat" post

Directions

Create a new directory on your server, and upload the images you'd like in your rotation to that directory.
Open Notepad or your favourite text editor.

Paste the following code:

Code:

<?php

$files = glob('{*.PNG,*.png,*.JPG,*.jpg,*.GIF,*.gif}', GLOB_BRACE);
readfile($files[array_rand($files)]);

?>

Save it as rotate.php, and upload it to the directory that you just uploaded your images to.
Edit your signature on the forums, and paste the link to rotate.php between image tags, an example being:
Code:
```
[img[b]][/b]http://yourdomain.com/sigs/rotate.php[/img]
```
All done! Enjoy.
