I have re-written the signature graphic

http://signature.ukboincteam.com

this now updates every hour, but that will be phased back to every 4 hours once I am happy it all works.

Now that this one seems to be working ok, I am going to stop the old one.
This will be stopped on Friday 23rd June.

There are only a few colours available at the moment but I am working on adding about 40 more very soon.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sad2:

It's not as I hate the new one, I just prefer the old one. IMHO it looks cleaner and neater.

Any chance of a header without the curved ends - that's the part I don't like.

Posted: **Mon Jun 19, 2006 7:31 am**

I'll try to sort summat out b4 Friday for you.
I did ask for suggestions, maybe a different shaped header could have been asked for then?

Hiya,

Does it take a day or 2 for all the Projects to be added into the signatures file ?

Steve.

Posted: **Mon Jun 19, 2006 1:06 pm**

It works off your CPID, so you need to make sure username & email are both exactly the same for each project

Posted: **Mon Jun 19, 2006 6:57 pm**

Hi,

I check which projects your cpid is attached to once every day and then I update thos projects every hour.
If you attach to a new project, the program will not find out until the next morning, assuming you have used the same email address and the cpid has updated correctly, but once the new project has been recognised the updates will be automatic.

I'll run a manual update now and lets see what happens.

OK, it has noticed you also do seti and rosetta so at 4 mins past 7, your signature should recognise this.

Darren

Hi,

Yep, it's sorted lovely thanks.

The WCG Project presumably will not come up as its running as a DU on another machine. I'll probably register with Einstein with BOINC and keep separate from WCG.

Cheers, Steve.

Posted: **Wed Jul 12, 2006 6:06 pm**

You preferred the old style signature?
No probs cus there will be a "compatability mode".

Need to add some more colours first (next week) and the individual stats (for people that want those - nearly done) and the ability to "hide" some stats so that the lists can be made smaller (again for people that want that).

Also got to finish updating the new web site (weekend) and fix the cookie problems.

Then there are the team stats, if other teams want their stats doing as well (not sure how I can do this at the minute but I am sure I can find a way.

Maybe I can scrape the data from BOINCStats :lol:

Kewl we have got a non team member using it, someone from Italy

Looks like he/she likes the new changes and is using the new 3 column option. Link

Posted: **Sat Aug 12, 2006 4:27 am**

Lets hope they make loads of posts on many forum's and get a bit of advertising for us

Posted: **Sat Aug 12, 2006 6:50 pm**

We have several of non members using it.
Several "clangers" signed up

edit: There is some space on the three column dispay for "advertising"
Any ideas for a catchy line?

How much space / characters can be utilised?

And given that the logo could be used by both members and non-members, so something specific to help gain us more members might be worthy?

Here's a few:

The space varies.
But all of the space between the date and the version no.

I have added 3 of your 4 but any other ideas?

Would it be posible to add a line between the user name and the column headings to place the messages? That way it would be displayed regardless of how many columns wide the graphic is.

As it would also be above the stats, I think it would be in a more prominent position. Perhaps a bold font as well.

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 9:37 am**

I can move it to the top, but as you can see there may still be a space problem.

Depends how many columns the user wants and how much information is displayed!

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 11:55 am**

can't you just make the width to be set by the longest line length plus border space.

And drop the top split line down, or put two split lines in

i.e

Hmm, I can do that.
I will give set it up this afternoon cus I am busy playing with house alarms at the minute.

EDIT: OK added it to the top but not in bold becasue that looks odd.
There are 5 different "adverts" and you get a different one based on the width of the signature.

I am not too sure about it.

The 3 versions I can see in this thread each look good, nice work :thumbup:

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:01 pm**

Not liking it at the top feels too distracting, looked better at the bottom in my opinion

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:10 pm**

Look better at the bottom?
I think it looks a bit crowded

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:39 pm**

It fits nicely in the gap at the bottom without it been too distracting

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:45 pm**

I have spaced the bottom a bit so it doesn't look as crowded.

If we had more advert lines I could set them up as a random addition.

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:46 pm**

Yup much better at the bottom doesn't interfere with the stats as much

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 4:05 pm**

I think you ought to swap the bold emphasis on the sig url and ad lines, ie normal the url and bold the ad

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 8:48 pm**

Anyhow more colours and new heading styles are being added now

Posted: **Sun Aug 13, 2006 8:51 pm**

Posted: **Fri Sep 08, 2006 6:32 pm**

Looks as if I'm here to stay so I'm just fooling around with some sigs.

There doesn't seem to be a 'Test' thread so I've posted it in here.

Move along please ... There's nothing else to see. :lol:

I can't find a reason for it Dazza might when he pops by

Posted: **Tue Oct 17, 2006 8:38 pm**

If it is not there by tomorrow, I'll bypass it and add the stuff manually.
It looks like the service I get my cpid's from is down.

Posted: **Tue Oct 17, 2006 9:34 pm**

Darren

I think that there may be a problem as I'm getting the same with my xtremlabs account which has been active for a few days now. It has taken on the correct cpid but the sig site is not picking it up. :?

Work your magic on it when you get the chance mate.

Posted: **Fri Oct 20, 2006 3:28 pm**

While Darren's sorting it out, I'm going to use this one (complete with the missing XtremLabs project).

Posted: **Fri Oct 20, 2006 5:06 pm**

It's just clicked in ... XtremLabs now showing up. :D

Coincidence or what? :roll:

I have set you up James and dropped you a PM

Until the site I use to tell me who has joined what comes back on line then new projects won't be added automatically.
Add a list here & I'll do them manually.

Replied to your PM. Still can't login and although it would be nice to have 17,000 credits on Einstein, I'm nowhere near yet

Posted: **Fri Oct 20, 2006 6:26 pm**

RIGHT, I think it is all fixed. Will find out at about 7:10

I appear to be missing CPDN off my sig? Been crunching it for nearly a week now. Any suggestions? (It isn't listed under the manage projects tab).
As a little aside it is estimating completion in 100 days, is this normal?

Darren,

Not sure if your site has come back on line but in case it hasn't, I've recently joined Seti Beta & Tanpaku.

Posted: **Sun Oct 29, 2006 8:52 am**

It's all up and running fine now.
You have to wait until after the projects export the stats with your data in it.
May take a day or two but it will happen.

Posted: **Tue Jan 16, 2007 1:46 pm**

I have done everything to get a board up but why won't it show.

I have even gone into profiles and attached my signature, but it don't show

But it does ... >?

Why has it not come up with Einstein@home, is it because it is down.

Posted: **Tue Jan 16, 2007 5:13 pm**

Hi,

Do you have the same cpid on einstein as the other projects?
If not you need to change the email address for that project to bring it in line with the others.

If you can give me the cpid for einstein I'll fudge the server so it appears

Posted: **Tue Jan 16, 2007 6:53 pm**

Yepp, you have two cpid's.
You need to check the email address on the einstein project.

I have added the instein one to your siggy and it should appear very soon.

Posted: **Fri Jan 19, 2007 1:33 am**

Any reason why my sig is not showing up in my posts?

I set it up a few days ago and it shows up in my profile :?

Gary

Posted: **Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:33 am**

Fixed: The always attach signature flag had been turned off in your profile.
It should be automtic from now on.

When posting there is a Attach Signatue tick box if you want to manually remove it. This is found just above the Preview and Sumit buttons

Posted: **Fri Jan 19, 2007 9:41 am**

Thanks for that Darren, I must have missed that or I'm going blind in my old age.

Although looking at my feeble sig I think I should have waited until a few more of my projects had been added and I had some credits to boast about.

Gary

Posted: **Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:23 pm**

Do you need a set amount of credits before projects are added to your sig? as only 2 out of 5 projects show up :dontknow:

No, but sometimes it takes 2 or 3 days or more before it appears on your sig. LHC does not appear at all at the present time.

On the UK Boinc Team Signature page it states rather boldly
"The most up-to-date Boinc stats on the planet!"

Might one enquire as to what planet this might be? as although I know there is a problem with PG my sig has not altered in almost 2 weeks, further to this I joined Xtremelabs a month ago and RCN 5 days ago and neither are yet showing on my sigs.

I feel this is either due to blatant racism (The phrase, 'Little green men will soon be banned as not being PC) or gross neglect on the part of The Dazza as he devotes all his waking hours praying to the UotD Gods.

If this matter is not rectified forthwith, I feel I have no other option than to take up American citizenship and sue under the Trades Description Act.

Posted: **Sat Apr 28, 2007 7:40 pm**

OK, I have added a small enhancement to the signature code.
If you are doing Dimes or Majestic 12 the credits for these can now be added to the signature.

On the "Manage Projects Page" there is a space to add you id's for these two projects.
Dimes id is your username but Majestic give you a numeric one.

Enter this info in the boxes supplied. Click 'Change Settings' and if you have entered the correct info these should appear on the signature.

If there are any other non-boinc projects that produce stats let me know and I will look at adding those as well.

Posted: **Sun Apr 29, 2007 4:30 pm**

For the space concious people that have loads of projects I have added a new animated signature.

This can be found on the graphic style page and looks like mine below...

The frames flip over every 3 seconds but this will be adjustable shortly.

Posted: **Sun Apr 29, 2007 5:08 pm**

Nice feature Darren, just like my DC stats but they don't list all the projects so I may as well scrap their one.

I am really uncertain about the animated one.

I'll make it a bit shorter by moving the dimes/majestic data into the animated section and see what it looks like then.

Any thoughts, or is the system having a little holiday atm ?
