Dynamic Mileage Forum Signatures
This is something I've been meaning to do for quite some time, and finally I did it.
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:

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:
- If permitted, copy this HTML code as your signature.<a href="https://www.greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/car/#.html" style="border:0" title="Hybrid Cars Mileage"><img src="https://www.greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/car/#/signature.png" border=0 alt="Hybrid Cars Mileage"></a>https://www.greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/car/#/signature.pnghttps://www.greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/car/#.html
- Paste the HTML code as your signature or, if not permitted, create your signature using the provided URLs.<
- 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.

Jason,
I think the MPG sig is wonderful. My only mini-gripe is it's size. GreenHybrid gets quite a bit of publicity on the site; perhaps you would consider removing it from the sig, in order to cut the vertical space required in half ? I would enjoy seeing my car's nick, it's type, and the dynamic MPG.
Cheers -- Eric

Eric,
I have plans to add additional information to the signatures, or even offer more than one style based on the member's desires. However, the logo has got to stay. Members will use this signature on other websites, as well; it's got to point back to GreenHybrid. Not to mention, it eats our bandwidth like there's no tomorrow.
If you'd like a smaller one, not to worry. I'll try and make a smaller one soon. The advantage of having the dynamic image, too, is I can simply edit the files and everyone's signatures are updated automatically.

Well, I'll experiment and see what happens and go from there. If my sig actually looks correct at some point, than my experiment worked.
