Folding@Home Team Ubuntu recruiting notice

Damn, that would have been really neat to be able to have a sig showing information like that... (I hope to break the magical 100 rank today or tomorrow sometime )

Wouldn't you know it, I just found the sigmaps on folding.extremeoverclocking.com, only to find out you can't put images in your sig. Oh well, this is what it would have looked like.

Yea, and it is a dynamically updating image. So the stats are always what folding.extreameoverclocking.com has, which is still a little behind what folding.stanford.edu has.

Good going. I have been climbing pretty well myself. Right now in the top 20 producers list I am at #3. It looks like you are #10 in the same list.

Hmmm wonder if we can persuade the powers that be to allow us to have url sigs??

Anyway, how you get that on your message, I tried to insert the code into the message itself, but in the preview it just showed the code and not the piccie..

I don't know. One one hand they don't have to worry about bandwidth because we would be hosting the sig and it would just be a URL in an iframe. However, the big negative is lack of control. If you have large images, it will slow down page load time. The same for scripts. Also, scripts could present a huge problem both as buggy, or even being downright malicious.

Insert image, paste the URL.

thanks, will give it a go and see what happens...

Insert image, paste the URL.

Must be doing something wrong.. - I just get an error

If I copy and paste directly from the sig images page I get the one like the example on that page

but soon as I try to change the un=TeamUbuntu and the t=45104 I get the error..

Hmm, copying and pasting from your quote - I notice there is no "un" or "t" in the line, so I think I definetly missing something here...

There are two different methods to create the url. One simply uses the user id from folding.extreameoverclocking.com, the other has you specify user and team by name. The latter is what you are trying to do.

From the sig images page:
First - You can use the UserID from the EOC Stats:
- http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...ge.php?u=32359

Second - You can use your User Name + Team ID
- http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...HotRod&t=11314

After you have that down, then you can worry about extra options. I kinda like bg=2, but the information is not as easy to understand to those that don't understand short labels.
i.e. - http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...?u=188072&bg=2

Yea, that's why I ended up getting one of your messages and doing the quote on it, so I could see how you did it, cause no matter what I did I couldn't get the second option to work.. - but using the user id worked, so have gone with that..
I do like the third option too, but as you say, it a little hard to understand, it would be neat if you could have that background for the bigger sigs..

Thanks muchly for all the help, much appreciated..

Just a note to all watching this thread, and a bump so maybe others will see the recruiting notice.

Ubuntu Geek has put alot of work into the upgrade of these forums, and at the request of several users has made it an option to put the user info back on the left like it was before the upgrade. To do this select your profile page from the User CP. It is on the bottom of the page.

[NZ-Wanderer]

Ohh thanks for that, the names on my page are now back over on the left where they belong
