Dynamic Mileage Forum Signatures

Thanks, Jason!

My car is registered on the site as 4WD but that doesn't show up in the sig. Can I adjust that to avoid ridicule for my driving habits?

OK! You got it, Tom!

Contact a member of the CarsDirect staff and they should be able to help.

This is my personal, dynamic mileage forum signature. When I add a new tank to the database, my signature updates automatically. And, now, you can use it, too!

The server reads the URL for your unique signature, extracts your car ID number, and prints out the current fuel economy rating. To create yours, follow these simple steps:

1. [b]If permitted, copy this HTML code as your signature. If HTML is not allowed, use this URL for your image:and this URL for your link:<<
2. Paste the HTML code as your signature or, if not permitted, create your signature using the provided URLs.<
3. Finally, replace the character "#" with your database car ID number in both instances.
   This number can be found in the address of your car's page in the mileage database immediately after "car/". For instance, my address is "greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/car/5-midori.html" and my ID # is 5.

That's it! If you have any quesiton, please let me know. I'll see about creating an automatic code generator to make things a bit easier. Enjoy!

THis simply does not work for me...I copy and paste exactly and nothing comes up. Just garbled stuff...see below.

Looks like you got it to work.

[Armand]

Yes I did...I have absolutely no idea how...but it worked!

I have searched around and can't figure out how to put one of these in my profile.

Help?

Thanks-

Hi,

You will need the index number for your vehicle. This is put in a URL that points to the graphic. Then put your signature graphic URL into your signature block.

1) Get your vehicle index

Use "View My Cars" to find your mileage log. The URL will end with a number, "1506.html", for my car. The number for your car is what is needed.

2) Make your signature image URL

Substitute your index number in a URL that looks like this:

http: // www.greenhybrid.com / compare / mileage / car / <your_number> / signature.png

Using the picture postcard tool, use your version of the above URL to verify your signature shows up. Take out the extra " " around the "/". This just keeps the URL from being 'fixed' by the normal display code.

3) Edit your signature

Click on "User CP" on the top bar and drill down to your signature block. Using the picture postcard tool, add the URL to your graphic.

That should do it.

GOOD LUCK!

Bob,
Thanks for posting the instructions for the signature, but for those of you trying this remove the spaces:

I just created the signature below :-) .
FYI - this is my first tank manually calculated (display mileage was higher). Current tank is running around 40 plus.
