some forums require that if you use the [img] tag that it have the extension of jpg, gif, png or some other such non-sense, especially is the case with phpBB.

Beyond that I don't know, it all depends on what forum software the message board is using.

I don't allow the use of HTML, it is a big security risk to leave that open

as I said the best you can do is change the extension for full compatibility.

One thing I have changed since I posted that code was I now have it generate the sig file as a static image and include the signiture script in catcher.

This has the benefit of saving CPU time by only generating an image when needed rather then at a browser's request (which on high traffic sites you will find it quickly takes down your server)

Then you just link to that generated image. You can do this with some minor modifications to the script I gave, read the php docs on how to have it generate a static image as opposed to outputting to the client.

I was also curious about this until I got an answer form the PHBBB forums. So if you have a PHP, this is what you can do:

Create a folder named sig.gif, then move sig.php into it, open it and change all the necessary path, cause you have to move it into a folder then rename it index.php. Then replace the url on your board to sig.gif instead sig.php.

Works a charm :)
