Text mileage signature?
 

Hi,

I also belong to groups that are more 'text' centric. Is is possible to get a text version of the mileage signature?

Simpler being better than complex, a plain text version would be perfect since it would adopt the current 'style' of the host web page.

This would be technologically impossible because of security measures taken on this and other websites. Allowing dynamic content to be pulled from another website means malicious code can also be executed remotely. For this reason, the necessary coding languages are rarely enabled.

Sure. In your sig, create a text link to your mileage database.

Such as: Click here to see my current MPG

Or, if your forums don't allow html, simply: Click link to see my current MPG: https://www.greenhybrid.com/compare/.../car/1506.html

I believe he was referring to a way with an automatically-updating mileage figure.

what about an avatar sized version for boards that don't allow images in sigs?

Re: Text mileage signature?
 

As far as I know avatars must be uploaded to the website's server so they cannot be remotely loaded from GreenHybrid.com

I have wondered about this question too.

When I click on my car from the list of Prius IIs, and see my lifetime MPG at the top of the page that lists all my tanks -- is that number being calculated on the fly ?

Yes, of course, Eric. But, you're on greenhybrid.com on a system that was designed specifically for this purpose. The forum software, vBulletin, prevents things such as this for security reasons. Other websites most definitely would prevent the execution of the necessary code because it would also be possible to execute malicious scripts.

Some boards let you use a remote image as an avatar, some let you choose from pre-defined lists and others let you upload the image to the site. I have my board set to only allow remote avatars, so for some it may be useful.
