From the release post...

It can be used as a forum signature on forums allowing [img]http://www.your-domain.com/forum/usersig1.php[/img] in signatures.

If you want to use this mod on forums that don't allow the BB code [img] tag like above, then yes, you'd need to write the image to a file like chatbum's mod.

However, if you frequent vB forums, then assuming said forums allow the BB code [img] tag in signatures, then you don't need to write the image to a file.

If I would have seen chatbum's mod prior to releasing this mod, I wouldn't have bothered, but as it is, you can change this mod to write the image to a file, or you can change the other mod to display alternative text.
