    PHP. Untested...
    Code:
    <?php
    $ticker=fopen('http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/ifs_news/hi/front_page/ticker.stm','r');
    function findNewsItem($str,$pos)
    {
       $str=substr($ticker,strpos($ticker,"theSummaries[{$pos}] = \""));
       $str=substr($str,0,strpos($str,'.')+1);
       return $str;
    }
    function text($x,$n)
    {
       ImageString($im,4,$x,10,$news[$n],$black);
    }
    $news=array('','','','');
    for($i=0;$i<3;$i++)
    {
       $news[$i]=findNewsItem($news[$i],$i);
    }
    unset($ticker);
    $im=ImageCreate(500,150);
    $white=ImageColorAllocate($im,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF);
    $black=ImageColorAllocate($im,0x00,0x00,0x00);
    text(10,0);
    text(45,1);
    text(80,2);
    text(115,3);
    
    // if the image gets too large (filesize), lower the third number image the ImageJPEG function. valid numbers are 1 to 10.
    
    $fn=mt_rand(1,999999999).'.jpg';
    header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
    ImageJPEG($im,$fn,10);
    unlink($fn);
    ?>

    Save it as a .php file, upload it to a server with PHP, and put this in your sig:
    Code:
    [img]http://www.site.com/file.php[/img]

    haxor's option is the best one.
    I was suggesting for you to use html to crate a marquee

    dohtml tag and add the marquee tag
    Can you do this in a sig? Doesn't HTML need to be enabled for that (it isn't on this forum)?

    Code:
    [img]http://www.site.com/file.php[/img]
    .php extensions can't be added inside [img] tags....

    Make a folder just for this script. Name it sig.txt and upload it. Rename it to sig.jpg once uploaded. Upload this file, named ".htaccess" to that directory:
    Code:
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .jpg

    Ok Haxor
    i have hope
    first i will fiond out what php is
    find a site which hosts it
    load your script¨
    make a folder for the script
    name it si.txt and upload it
    rename it to sig.jpg an dupload it
    uplload file .htaccess to that directory

    as a first timer i will learn alot in this process
    and will post once i have achieved - success.
    if not.... questions will follow


    Haxor- is there absolutøly any chance that you could try to be a little bit more explicit in your replies- as in not expect those with problems to understand everything you know-?
    Thanks again
