New Weatherlink banner in signature
« on: June 27, 2018, 08:28:21 AM »
I tried to put the new Weatherlink 2.0 banner in my sig, but was unsuccessful. Is there a way to do this that will work?

Here is the link to mine: https://www.weatherlink.com/embeddablePage/show/36dd565fa0c34d82a26e2ce9c1b38abb/signature

p.s. I tried again. I think that it needs to be an image. Maybe I could use CutyCapt on my linux box and then upload it, but that seems to be a lot of trouble and not everyone can do that.

I am not sure why this was moved. It isn't about my website, it directly pertains to the WxForum signature file....  ](*,)

I wrote Davis today, explained everything and  of course got this instead.  I don't think they want to play.
I do not think that embedding a live page is normal in a forum reply. I am running this across me webmaster to get the take on this. I just don’t think that is common use and I am not even sure if it would BE supported by the FORUM (maybe if you can paste HTML). If it IS, you would need to paste the embedded as HTML.
 
What is the forum you are trying it on?

I found a reference to iframes on the SMF Simple Machines forum that indicates that it would be a security issue for the forum. The only way to display this would be as I have done with a capture of the page converted to an image. My Complex and Glorious Rube Goldberg scheme seems to be working however, with the caveat that the banner gets stale without a page refresh.
