very nice and great idea

Well I could always eventually add a mod allowing them, altough not now

Yes, you can tell that I have taken to them.
OFF-TOPIC: 200th post!  ^.^

Also, if you want symbols like "#" or "+" like I have, you need to convert them to hex first and replace it with %1A, for example.

Didn't even think about that. Thanks!

But, I realized that the hex codes aren't very well known... so... I made THIS!

Just type in the string you want, special characters and all, and it'll give out the results with examples.
If you notice a special character I missed, tell me and I'll add it... but I think I got it all.

Not sure really. I just know that most symbols aren't accepted usually.
But, if Opera works fine then use it that way. =P

I wonder if we can use custom background images?

I almost forgot to follow this subforum. Well, very nice idea and well done.
I suggest adding colour support to hex (like #FF0000, for red).

I may. The deal is that the 'colors' are just different images I used for the background, from there the text is added on top.
I could basically allow "#FF0000" to be the same as "red" but something like "#FE0000"—which is basically red too—wouldn't be supported because of the method used.

Now PHP details: what PHP extension or lib you use? And I am eager to see the source, too.

I'm using PHP5 with the GD library. (I'm pretty sure PHP4 would be fine too.) I'll send a copy of the source a bit later. Messing with something else at the moment. ^^;

I wonder if we can use custom background images?

Due to the method used so far, I couldn't easily allow it. I'm new to image manipulation so the different backgrounds are all different images that I add text on to. I could let you specify an image, but it'd have to be the right size (195x20 or 350x20) for it to look right and you'd still have to add the border and any other little effects you want.

I'll keep learning and I might be able to add this feature one day.

Now, for some updates!

As I said earlier, I added support to properly show level 0-9999 and threw in an easter egg.

Also, I threw together a generator for the links to help people who don't understand how to do it very well or just to test things out more easily and faster.

Sorry for the simple black text on white background look. I'll make it prettier later... but it's fully functional.
Let me know what you think~

I have no objection to integrating it into Omnimaga later. Might be a good idea since I'm not sure how long I'll be able to maintain my 1and1 account. I'll have no problem affording the account once I finally get a job... but I need to finish college first so it'll be awhile.

As for the iframing thing, I have no clue. I haven't done anything with iframes in years.
