Topic awaiting preservation: Sig Rotator ?

all the sudden my sigs dont work ?

im using suho's sig rotate script in index.php

what the heck is causing this

did my host stop supporting php all the sudden like that or does it have something to do with the new asylum?

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

upon further inspection its only IE giving me this problem, works fine in Firefox

in IE i get a red x for the image and the link shows that image code crap
GIF89axD÷ñÉhkH£?[þþþV4Wu?´r etc etc......

i just thought there might have been a change in the allowable scripts but as i see many others are still using the rotator i see now that it has nothing to do with the new Asylum (which is great btw thanks to TP everybody that helped).

wierd.. ill look into this further this afternoon

im not behind a proxy or anything, and it seems only my sigs are being effected i can see others that use rotator scripts, very strange .. oh well ill just use Firefox it works fine.


clicking around and as quickly as the problem occurred it went away, dont mind me im going to go stare at the wall in my cell.

well, if you can read that GIF89 marker at the beginning of the file in IE - chances are that IE just didn't recognize it as a gif.
Make sure your sig rotator is sending out the right content-type:image/gif header, if it doesn't, or worse, sends out an image/jpeg one, browsers could get confused, discover that they can't decode it as a jpeg, and just print it as text.

Yup, seems to be working again now.

For what it's worth, the sig rotator automatically detects and sends out the proper mime type. If it doesn't that means the image is corrupted in some way. I realize that doesn't seem to be the problem here, just commenting on what TP said.
