Well, that'd all be up to the HTML code in the sig. You can't
put that straight into a jpg file.

As most forum software doesn't allow you to add (dynamic)
html code from external sources, this couldn't be done.

If there were some ubb code directive to call this information
from a remote server (ie, servspy uploads 2 files. The image,
and a text file containing the details), then it's possible. But
there isn't a ubb directive to do this, and would require some
code hacking to the forum software (and ultimately risk
compromising security).

Not to mention the added server/bandwidth load on the forum
software doing it via that method.

The only other way would be for servspy to connect to the live
website's forum, edit your profile, and put the link into your
sig itself. But, given the multitude of different forum software
out there, this is impossible to implement in any kind of
practical sense that covers every situation.

The next version will be able to upload a customizable HTML
page built dynamically from a template.

The user could then link to this page from his signature and
make a clickable link on the page.

It could of course be done for some of the more popular
forums, but I've ruled out this possibility because having
1000's of bots changing profiles every hour would probably put
quite a bit of ekstra load on those forums.

Yup, I didn't really see this as a workable solution to actually
put the information into the profile.

Maybe if you're going to add the ability to upload a separate
HTML page to link to, how about having it also contain a list
of files being shared (optionally clickable in preferences) in
the page?

This has already been done :)

We have a highly customizable HTML component with a lot of
features thank to rtf's great work.

If you look at the file HTMLSTATUS.txt in the CVS you will
find some docs for the template layout and in
exe/templates
there are some examples of templates.
