Nice! Strange though, mine says #4  even though throughout each sorting I have one 2, three 3's and one 5. How does that get 4?  < |

| -gary, off subject, but how did you create the image showing the rank using ASP? I had to use ASP.NET with the GDI to create the one presently in my signature which shows what I am listening too.< |

oh, so you don't think it is a single dynamic image but multiple images with a redirect? that wouldn't sound like something -gary would do, though I could be wrong.< |

Ofcourse it may be dynamic image, however, passing this code to many places (to our signatures here for example) may load server cpu more than expected, well at least my image API does. If not, I would like to learn the secret as well :)
the signature that I use here is something I created using .NET/GDI. It is part of a feature on my forum that 40+ other members actively use and the hit against my database to read the tables and create the image is not that bad. the only reason I asked how he did it is because I noticed the .asp extension and unless he is using a component to do this with, I just doubt that he has individual images for the individual rankings.
PS. Just noticed, you're the guy that bumped me down from position #5 to #6   < |

Yes there is. It is why I use .NET with the GDI over any server component.< |

Rank images are static files. The rank.asp file checks for your current rank and redirects to the appropriate image. I could do dynamic images, but without some kind of caching in place this page alone would've required 16 DB hits and 16 image generations. I'm all for taking 15 minutes of Photoshop time to save an unknown number of CPU requests on a production server along with the expense of creating an object to draw the image and tearing it down again for each request. This was a 10 minute hack, so it will get a bit more sophisticated in the future.
The rank images are based solely on number of total posts and fall in line with the default sort on the main page.
The register error is because that URL has already been registered. If the forum isn't showing up on the stats page, it's because the server has had a problem retrieving the page. Timeout, 404 or a problem with the client script. It will keep trying until it gets it. Registration management and error checking is non-existent at this point.
DB type is being pulled in 1.0. I'm still working on the individual stats and that will be one of the things reported. I'm also working on cumulative stats for all forums and DB's will be represented by some sort of percentage graph.< |
