Can anybody link me to a sigrotator that actually works?
Last time I wanted one, I tried several but none worked with BBT.

This one needs a web server. Make a folder called something like "krudda_rand.png" (this is what you'll link to in the avatar field) and use this file as index.php

Code: [Select]

<?php

*/

// Make this the relative path to the images, like "../img" or "random/images/".
// If the images are in the same directory, leave it blank.
$folder = '';

// Space seperated list of extensions, you probably won't have to change this.
$exts = 'jpg jpeg png gif';

$files = array(); $i = -1; // Initialize some variables
if ('' == $folder) $folder = './';
$handle = opendir($folder);
$exts = explode(' ', $exts);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
foreach($exts as $ext) { // for each extension check the extension
if (preg_match('/\.'.$ext.'$/i', $file, $test)) { // faster than ereg, case insensitive
$files[] = $file; // it's good
++$i;
}
}
}
closedir($handle); // We're not using it anymore
mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // seed for PHP < 4.2
$rand = mt_rand(0, $i); // $i was incremented as we went along

header('Location: '.$folder.$files[$rand]); // Voila!
?>

In that same folder put all of the images you want in the rotation.

[Krudda]

I will try that, thanks tiff. I'd rather host the images myself and since I've already got a webserver doing nothing...

[Tanis]

Is it bad if the first thing I though after reading that was Interstellar 555 instead of the new box office one?

Nope, because you know what the superior film is.

The new Interstellar is, pardon the moronic phrase, 'trying-too-hard'.
It WANTS to be 2001 for a whole new generation, but comes off more like 'lol hard science star twerk'.

BLAH!

[Krudda]

I wholly hold  you lot responsible for this, so it better be gud.

Thanks to the recommendation of several people here, I went and purchased the Steins;Gate visual novel.
Now we wait 14 days exactly.

[megido-rev.M]

Exactly, you say?

[Krudda]

Yrs, Rightstuf is incredibly good at delivering exactly 13 days after processing (which takes one day)

[megido-rev.M]

That's much better than the three months for that other thing.

[Tiffanys]

You probably should have just downloaded it and tried it out first to see if you liked it.

[Krudda]

Yeah, that pissed me off. They've got three more days. If it doesn't turn up by then, I will send another e-mail and if I get the same response, I'm sending in a claim. Fucking Amazon.... Scamazon more like...

@tiffanys, that'd take longer than shipping it from China lol. Also, with my data cap, it'd cost more too.

[kurandoinu]

Unless you ordered it from Amazon themselves not a third party seller you can't really blame the site.

[megido-rev.M]

Indeed.

[Krudda]

Yes I can, because I'm ignorant

[kurandoinu]

My scumbag brain is having a right good sing song today. First it was the safety dance and pinky and the brain now it's you've got a friend. It's not even 6am brain, calm down

[Soryon]

I use this when I rotate my ava and/or sig.

I have sigs/avas turned off in general.

[VexHaus]

I want to be in one of those tense and dramatic high-stakes dilemmas you usually see in movies where one person, in advocating for the expedient choice, admonishes that this is no time to think about ethics, just so that I can slam my fist down on the table saying, "Dammit, this is exactly the time to consider ethics!" and thereby take the moral high ground

[metro.]

Who cares about morals anyway?

[blackhole]

What's morals anyways and why should we care ?
This is the age of business, not morals.

[kurandoinu]

There appears to be an echo in here
