Hello, Knaivez and welcome to the Magelo forums! Could you provide a link to the forums that do not support the extensions please? Let me see what I can do to help.

[Link deleted upon request] is on aruba linux server, is a last release of phpbb forum ... probably is incompatibility with dynamic creation of image ... he leads this message "impossible to determine the size of the image." the tipical dynamic signature ( the writer ninja for example http://www.fodey.com/generators/animated/ninjatext.asp ) works perfectly, and are all but png ... I do not know what the real problem, I thought it was a matter of extension, but now when I write I do not know what to think more ... ( sorry for the Google English translation but I am an ignorant Italian, read but write few ^ ^ )

Hello, knaivez! Please do not worry, your English is already very much comprehensible. This looks like it's more of a phpBB3 issue than a Signature issue. The issues lie with the limitations caused by settings in the forums. It's been discussed in other boards. What can be done in this case is that the forum admin has to disable image size limit for signatures (It is handy, but it may not support remote image). Either that, or the website administrator has to edit the php.ini file and change the setting in some situations it may be a security hole so I would advise against that. A third solution would be to have the admin disable image size checks and only allow registered users to post images to ensure security for the forums mentioned. Warning!
