Hello?! >.> <.<

Are you asking for help...? ((Boro, you really did a good job on this "rebuild" of Jakobo's original forum))

[PyroGriffin]

Hey, thanks for the thread. I got mine to work, and it works wonderfully. My years of C++ paid off. XD

I must say, it looks good. Thanks again, and if anyone needs help, I can try and help them too.

I think this thread explains how to do a shoutbox.

I should put up links for shoutboxes and randoimage threads.

PyroGriffin, cool, if you can helpout, that means less work for me. xp

how do you know the image you wan't will be on the sig?

So most of the time, you think of some links you want and make some kind of image with areas that you want to go to those links.

There are some image maps in people's sigs in this thread. You'll get an idea of what kind of images you should make to start.

Essentially, I'm saying, just make an image that you think will work, figure out how to code it as practice. Then once you know how it works, you can make a new one if you like.

please please do not consider this spam.. but .. I just had to say it.

While signing up on your prefer site system, Host Ultra, I could not help but think "Now selling your soul to the machine." When I got to the question about boxes, I thought it was going to ask me for a blood sample and permission to name my first born. eek

Although, here's a very very useful peice of information they gave. Apparently... you can buy visa gift cards at malls and use them for the internet like a real credit card. And you can do this without parental permission, and while under the age of 18 eek

So if you want to donate to gaia, and get an SQL option, this would be the way to do it. (i come from the generation where cellphones costs $2.99/minute and Credit cards charged 28% APR, so I got out of both, but this is news to me)

[borobdin]

Well all those are simple for humans but very difficult for bots. They must have had problems with it at some point. I did them in like 5 sec when signing up and had to start signing up for a new account just to see what you were talking about.

About the credit card thing, you may want to PM Arwen about it since she runs the Donation FAQ.

I'm stuck on step 6. Save what file? The code I've done so far?

$area = new Rect(13, 10, 96, 49," http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/guilds/index.php?page_mode=4&guild_id=381")
$myImageMap->addToMap($area)
$area = new Rect(12, 57, 97, 102," http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/guilds/index.php?page_mode=4&guild_id=772")
$myImageMap->addToMap($area)
$area = new Rect(104, 13, 159, 58," http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3831897&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0")
$myImageMap->addToMap($area)
$area = new Rect(173, 11, 224, 65," http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/guilds/index.php?page_mode=4&guild_id=168")
$myImageMap->addToMap($area)
$area = new Rect(130, 91, 188, 127," http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3777221")
$myImageMap->addToMap($area)
$myImageMap->setDefaultURL("http://www.gaiaonline.com/profile/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=356811")

How do I save it as ".php"? I made it with notebook so should I save it and upload it? Now I'm confusing my self.

If this is your edit of map.php, then it should already be in php format.....you uploaded the files to your computer, right?

[Mizuneko2]

sweatdrop Should I replace the map.php with the code?

Notebook...I'm not sure, but make sure you save it as 'map.php', and for the file type, choose 'all files'. Did that help?
