New home has broken PNG scripts - update your profiles!

Llamalan has a new and faster home!

However, the signatures have broken. I've altered the files so that they display the image properly but it means anyone using the dynamic signature file has to alter their profile to change llamalansig.png to llamalansig.php. Because the phpBB forum engine doesn't like trying to display files without recognised image extensions as an image, you can make the file masquerade as an image by plonking '/whatever.png' at the end. If you use the colourise function of the dynamic sig, this won't be necessary.

So, for example, to leave it as it is:
http://www.llamalan.co.uk/images/sig/ll ... p/blah.png

To colourise to any RGB value... in this case, blue:
http://www.llamalan.co.uk/images/sig/ll ... 0000FF.png

I'm working on a 440px wide version to fit on these forums nicely on a 1024px wide screen at KF's request.

Is it possible to create a 50 by 50 pixel and less than 19.5 kb version that I can somewho sneak into the MPUK forums as an avatar? They don't allow signatures, I'm not sure it would work, what do you think?

Tricky one that, because I assume in order to use an avatar you upload it to their server? Or can you use avatars hosted permanently elsewhere? If yes to the latter, it should be possible.

Indeed, I can use an offsite avatar, which provided the filename stays the same should be updated everytime a page updates.
