Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-27-2004 at 11:17 PM

I saw a couple of people in the forums with an image with their Gmail address on it in their signature. I was wondering where they got it. So, I made a thread! :P


RE: Gmail Sig by spokes on 08-28-2004 at 06:44 AM

just a guess, maybe they opened photoshop and made one ;)

RE: Gmail Sig by spokes on 08-28-2004 at 07:18 AM

RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 12:36 PM

pmsl :lol: :banana:


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 01:57 PM

If i could get the code for that php script, I could make my own!


RE: Gmail Sig by KeyStorm on 08-28-2004 at 02:00 PM

Omg, use photoshop, paint sho pro or gimp (which is far cheaper). That script looks good, but should change the width of the image dynamically basing itself in the length of the address and be a bit random in colors :rolleyes:.


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 02:03 PM

I'll give it a shot. (I suck at image editing)

* Moo is downloading the tryout version of photoshop


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 04:28 PM

I made one for longer gmail addresses.

I also have a psd file if anyone wants it.


RE: Gmail Sig by sasquatch on 08-28-2004 at 06:32 PM

Haha, just noticed in Guillaume's sig it says

quote:
I am currently using 1 MB (0%) of your 1000 MB.

Stop stealing my webspace! lol
RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 06:34 PM

I'm gonna make the PSD file available to everyone.

Or, if you dont have a program that can open it, PM me and I'll make you one. I'll even host it!  Most recent one made for BEWARE^^ 7212 days, 3 minutes, 18 seconds ago


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 06:41 PM

I can't get the transparency right. Can someone help me with that?


RE: Gmail Sig by Banks on 08-28-2004 at 08:07 PM

when you save it look for a check box with preserve transparency or something along those lines, also make sure that you don't have a background layer.


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 08:41 PM

Doesn't seem to do any difference... :(


RE: Gmail Sig by RebelSean on 08-28-2004 at 09:00 PM

Wtf. What do I open a .psd with? What program? :s


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 09:02 PM

You have to use photoshop.


RE: Gmail Sig by bach_m on 08-28-2004 at 09:02 PM

RE: Gmail Sig by RebelSean on 08-28-2004 at 09:03 PM

:dodgy: :cry: I don't have any of those, I have paint.


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 09:18 PM

I resolved the transparency issue. :o)  (I used 256 colors instead of "True Colors") Here it is!

You dont like the sig I made?


RE: Gmail Sig by Chestah on 08-28-2004 at 09:38 PM

nah its good, but i just like the other one better, thats all. It looks cool cause its 3D :P!


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 09:47 PM

It is nice...   


RE: Gmail Sig by .Roy on 08-29-2004 at 04:15 PM

how did u do the i am currently using 1mb of 0% of my 1000mb how do u do that ??


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-29-2004 at 04:35 PM

I just wrote I am currently using 1 MB (0%) of my 1000 MB. Simple as that!


RE: Gmail Sig by jren207 on 08-30-2004 at 05:20 PM

it would be good if someone could make a php script that would check you usage and output it as an image that you could put on forums.. :D


RE: Gmail Sig by Millenium_edition on 08-30-2004 at 06:08 PM

i don't think that's a good idea, as you'll have to sign in each time someone views your sig... =/ unless you make it like a 10 mins interval


RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-30-2004 at 06:11 PM

didn't think of that! o_O


RE: Gmail Sig by jren207 on 08-30-2004 at 06:43 PM

hmmm I would be good if you could get around that problem lol but it's not important...


RE: Gmail Sig by .Roy on 08-30-2004 at 08:51 PM

hmm
didnt see ur thread...
anyway ive made something small that you might like
its nice and simple so theres no problem Click HERE for more information

Sorry

RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-30-2004 at 08:53 PM

email harvesting robots could still be able to add an email address with that signature

they don't. the first part is plain text, noticed?
RE: Gmail Sig by Moo on 08-30-2004 at 09:43 PM

Yes, but the second part could be easily read by a robot.


RE: Gmail Sig by WDZ on 08-31-2004 at 03:08 AM

Something like me[Image: Gmail4.gif] couldn't be used by a robot unless it was coded to detect that specific image, or it had some kind of OCR... ^o)

The important thing is not to make it a link, because if you do this:

code:
[email=spam@shoutbox.menthix.net][img]http://guillaumelforum.theglassprison.net/gmail.png[/img][/email]

[Image: gmail.png]

Then the robots can simply get the address from the HTML link code (<a href="mailto:...">).

EDIT: Finished what do you think about it?
RE: Gmail Sig by .Roy on 09-22-2004 at 05:02 AM

its not your idea....


RE: Gmail Sig by paperless on 09-22-2004 at 10:30 AM

Well it's not my idea but there are other people using the same as you and its not their idea.
And on your signature u are purposing people to use the same as ou so if you are against people that use other's ideas why u doing that?.


RE: Gmail Sig by .Roy on 09-22-2004 at 01:24 PM

i didnt say anything i just said it wasnt ur idea :-P im going to make the same gmail thing as the other guy :-P with the envelope :-D so other peoples can use it 2 :-D
