How did you get that chart with your ranking in it? |

How did you get that chart with your ranking in it? Go to the URL in the graphic (in the case of JLDun and me, it's http://boincstats.com). There should be a link there somewhere to dynamic graphics like that. You get the link for the one that gives your stats and paste it into the signature box on the Forum Preferences page of your account here at the project (or any project where you want it to appear in your signature). If it's a really long URL, you might want to shorten it with http://tinyurl.com or http://bit.ly before you put it in your signature. (Now, why is one of mine not working?)

(Now, why is one of mine not working?) Seems they are having issues with the code that generates them in .gif format, but the code that generates them in .png format seems to be working. |

(Now, why is one of mine not working?) I changed my Boincstats banner from .png to .gif just a few days ago to get it working again. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

(Now, why is one of mine not working?) I found that the URL for that image from boincstats is different than it used to be. I had to get the new URL, make a new bit.ly of it, and then paste that into my signature. It's now working, as you should see below.

(Now, why is one of mine not working?) Now that you mention it....you are correct. Yes, I now recall that the link addy had changed slightly as well as being .png instead of the old .gif link. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I don't see the images in your signature even after Ctrl+F5 Open in new tab works: http://bit.ly/1X692b5 http://bit.ly/1X692b5 But not Image tags here: { } Even direct links: http://boincstats.com/signature/-1/user/59591/sig.png http://boincstats.com/signature/-1/user/59591/sig.png don't work as Image for me: { } But this is visible: http://bit.ly/1aRy7N1 http://bit.ly/1aRy7N1 Image: { } Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Your post - 21:32:06 UTC My post - 19:00:28 UTC Now I can see them. But at the moment of post they were "empty" on SETI@home pages (but visible if opened in new tab) (I hit F5 Ctrl+F5 and Shift+F5 ~20 times during 10-15 minutes) It WAS like this (I saved the picture at 19:10 UTC) Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

That's odd. I see them. Anyone else? Well ... I'M STUPID I used two different browsers, both based on Chromium (35 & 40) Now I tried again in the "bad" version - and I see the same as before (img - NO, new tab - Yes) At first I was thinking in uBlock Origin I have some bad filter in "My filters" (but no, nothing there for boincstats (only 12 filters, so easy to check)) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm So I used Ctrl+Shift+N (to open "incognito window" where no extensions run) and Copy/Pasted: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=79012 And I see the boincstats images (when no extensions run) I started enabling "Allow in incognito" for one extension at a time: uBlock Origin Tampermonkey Privacy Badger HTTPS Everywhere (I have some 6-7 more but they are irrelevant (no need to test them) - WOT, Popchrom, Lazarus: Form Recovery, IP Domain Country Flag, Forecastfox, Font Rendering Enhancer, FastestTube) Both browsers have almost the same extensions. The culprit is the Privacy Badger https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-badger/pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp Privacy Badger is self-learning extension so no wonder it have different behaviour on 2 browsers - depends how much and which pages/sites did you visit. I checked that boincstats.com is automatically blocked by Privacy Badger (i.e. I didn't move the slider, it is automatically on "red") And since Privacy Badger blocks 3rd-party "potential trackers" it is now obvious why in "new tab" I can see the image - there it is 1st-party   - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)  |
