your idea does sound good m8 but for us mere mortals we just want to stop people using the same sig on every other forum.

Hehe, a permission check could easily be implemented with a .htaccess file just like you should have setup for your avatar and attachment.php files.

i have to enable dynamic urls for this hack
it would be better if it was uploaded to a directory on the host itself
and it would also save database size

ps how risky is it to allow dynamic urls for [img] tag ?

[gmarik]

interesting, but why not integrate it into other img support hacks?

Okay, it says in the features that:

Completely Admin CP controlled.

but I only see the Usergroup Manager option. I mean is there no where for us to edit members signatures in the admincp user options page?

Hmm... if you get miffed at someone can you block them from the function and disable/delete their image/s?
