How to use your ExtremeOverclocking.com folding@home Sig Images on forums

Background

Some forums, such as Maximum PC's do not allow images to be posted unless the url ends in .gif, .jpg, or .png. This fixes that.

The image is proxied, as well as the Date, Expires, and Last-Modified headers to keep from hitting their servers too often.

Prerequisites

First, find your EOC UserID:

  1. Go to folding.extremeoverclocking.com and find your stats page by using the search feature.
  2. Your url will look something like http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=408666, but the number at the end will be different. That number is your EOC UserID.

Get your Image

Advanced

The script also supports two formats for passing along querystring data to change the color scheme or layout.

Querystring method

If your forum allows it, you can simply append the querystring to the end after the ".gif" For example:

http://nfriedly.com/eoc/408666/whatever.gif?c1=ffffff&c2=000000&c3=000000&c4=0000cc&c5=ffffff

Path method

Replace "&" with "/" and replace "=" with ":", then insert that before "/whatever.gif". For example:

http://nfriedly.com/eoc/408666/c1:FFFFFF/c2:000000/c3:000000/c4:0000CC/c5:FFFFFF/whatever.gif
