Little X's in sigs drive me nuts, so I got an idea...

[Mijae]

Would anyone be willing to write a hack to allow users to upload an image to my domain and link to it.

Maybe make it an option in the profile, if user XXX has more then X posts, he/she will have the option to upload his/her signature to domain.com/forum/signatures and link to it. And as an addon, maybe limit users to Xkb space, and only allow domain.com to link to images stored in /forum/signatures to avoid bandwidth stealing, or users linking to their sigs hosted on your site from other forums.

All the red X's are driving me insane

This was done for vB2 (By hellsatan, I believe). I'm not sure if he is porting it for vB3 though, you may to wait until he does.

Preventing the 404 can be done with a micro hack

In the headinclude template add:

<!-- prevent 404 images -->
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function ImageLoadFailed() {
        window.event.srcElement.style.display = "None";
}
// -->
</script>

In includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php find:

PHP Code:

return '<img src="' .  $link . '" border="0" alt="" />'; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

return '<img src="' .  $link . '" border="0" alt="" onerror="ImageLoadFailed()" />'; 


This then hides all images that 404 anywhere in vB that use the [img] tag The minor downside is that it does break XHTML Validity as onerror isn't a recoginsed attribute, however it works in both Firebird and IE fine.

As to the port of the hack hopefully either myself or hellsatan will be porting it to vB3

Cool, I'll be looking forward to it. I'll try out the code you posted in the meantime. Many thanks NTLDR!

so this works for [img] but not an html image? anyway it could be done for html sigs?
