Yes, it's a random avatar (perl/cgi file)...

Yes, I did it when I first figured out how to do an avatar.  Later on, mussavcom chose to do it and now Kathleen, another LP admin who has a random one as well (nice storm clouds).  When I first did it, some people thought it was confusing, but hey I like to confuse people a little anyway.  Wink

People can pick to use a different font color and size when they post Jwink.

As for the avatar issue, yes, please let us know if you would like assistance Baim as I would be able to assist you in getting it set up properly.  Otherwise, I like your current avatar anyway.  Wink

But then again you can;t change fonts using quick reply easily (you actually have to...type the code! What a nightmare!)

If anybody is interested in the random signature issue, I'll try to post a complete guide on how to do it...

(not that hard, found half of the files on the net. All you have to do is design some sig's)

it isn't a cgi script.

It's php

the link to the pictures is a php link. and inside that page, if asks to fetch a picture randomly.

further more, if you have a forum, there's one picture that fetches all the info of my database and puts it inside the picture. like :
name of forum
new user
number of people online
number of posts, number of threads

Thanks for your help guys, but it would take days till you explain something like that to me  Very Happy I ain't a webmaster and don't know nothing about scripts. Rolling Eyes

Do you have your own site, though? If you do, we can walk you through it.  I used to be in the same boat when I started my site in May 2003.  It took me almost a week to figure out why I couldn't get a script to work (b/c I didn't ask anyone for help).  Since we all check the forums rather regularly, you can post any problems you have in here, and we can provide suggestions on how to get it working. In no time, it will be, and you will be able to use the knowledge you gained in using other scripts on your site.  Thumbs Up

wouldn't it be cooler to have a random avatar script and a gif slideshow on each one of those?

It would be easy to do that, but I am already confusing people enough by having it random.  I don't want to send them into spasms. I am trying to be at least a little demure with the avatar.
