Which store do you want to use it on? I can talk to the author of which ever store you want to have it on and see what we can do.

is there anything to stop members linking to the image and using it on other forums?

This is a nice idea, especially for those situations where the newbies have no clue how to process their signature.

Expanding the signature feature(s) with a hosting solution would be great, however, in return .. does it support GD watermarking? Would be cool to have a small pixel line added to the img by gd that included the url to the site (or preset txt).

Yep, I agree. A permission check would be great!

Even better than a simple permission check would be expanding this a little bit more to include transfer limits. If incorporated with the paid subscriptions, I would like to be able to offer a couple of different plans with say 50mb transfer/month, 100mb, etc... could just track everytime the image is hit and add up the bytes or something.. this would be GREAT!
