Can't make a coded signature

[michaelsteele3]

So I'm trying to make a signature that counts how many times it has been viewed. Here is the code, if you don't mind.

<!-- hitwebcounter Code START -->

<a href="http://www.hitwebcounter.com/" target="_blank">

<img src="http://hitwebcounter.com/counter/counter.php?page=5973064&style=0001&nbdigits=5&type=page&initCount=0" title="Amazing and shiny stats" Alt="Amazing and shiny stats" border="0" >

</a><br/>

<!-- hitwebcounter.com --><a href="http://www.hitwebcounter.com/countersiteservices.php" title="Blog Counters"

target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 9px; color: #736C65; text-decoration: none ;"><em>Blog Counters</em>

</a>

However, when I try to use it, a message comes up and says: "You signature cannot be 500 characters excluding BB code markup"

I understand why that is there, but is there a way to get around this?

Better yet, am I doing the right thing to get the sig view counter? I'm very new to scripting/coding.

Thanks

I think that's HTML code, which won't work in signatures, it'd just show up as random junk.

You just need to put in BB code: [NOPARSE][/NOPARSE] should work.

EDIT3: Yup, it works.

Yes. It worked. Thanks, Norpo!

Now what if I wanted to use something like this:

<div style="text-align:center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://services.webestools.com/cpt_pages_views/13257-13-9.js"></script></div><a href="http://www.webestools.com/" style="display:block;text-align:center;" title="Tools services webmasters counters generators scripts tutorials free"><img src="http://www.webestools.com/images/ban03.gif" alt="Tools services webmasters counters generators scripts tutorials free" /></a>

UPDATE: Never mind I got a different one. Something was up with the image whereas each number was it's own little image.

I don't think they'll allow you to run your own scripts.

Also your counter increases every time I refresh this page.

Aye. That's what it does; the server the image is hosted on switches the image out for the next one in the sequence every time the image is viewed.

It's not particularly useful.

I know. I just like watching the number grow... :3
