Policy Question 

Dynamic signatures

Quote:Are we allowed dynamic sigs such as counters or image rotators?
No. You're not allowed to use dynamic sigs on HF. They can be abused and normally slow the loading of pages. So we ask that you do not use dynamic images in your sig. This rule also applies to avatars.

Is this seen as a dynamic signature? It grabs the portfolio of users and displays them on an image. Not sure how often it gets updated.

Well technically yes it's a dynamic signature, though I've seen people using those before so maybe it's a gray area? Don't quote me on this though

All dynamic images are disallowed in your profile. Feel free to report anybody using them.
I don't middleman any deals on- or off-site. Please don't message me requesting my past services and certainly don't fall for anybody who claims to be me.
I think the only time it is questionably acceptable is if the actual image is just a static image and you are reuploading a different image to the same url. E.g. example.com/sig.png and then your own website has a cron job or some script to replace example.com/sig.png every so often. To HF, there is no change in load time because a static image is still being loaded.

Eagle told me that isn't allowed.

He might have misunderstood you.
But saying that it isn't allowed is good, better be safe than sorry.

You said you're going to reload every 30 minutes. I don't know how much load you're going to send every 30 minutes. 😉

@OP - Hopefully Omni will answer this.
Staff member 10th Jan 2017 - 30th May 2020.
HF Administrator 30th May 2020 - 14th July 2022.

It was a blast being on staff. I stepped down as it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best and if you were hit by my warnings and/or bans, it was nothing personal.

Peace out!

Yea, remember; I basically said I don't want to get fucked by senor Omni so I uploaded to Imgur daily.
Taking the image and uploading it to imgur and using imgur is fine. If you want to do that every day to make it "semi-dynamic ", knock yourself out.

Using the coinventory link is not allowed. Even if coinvebtory caches the signature for 30 mins ( https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?ti...id53113276 )
