I see some of the users have the yellow badge with their name in it. How do I do that?

Update (April 2010):

Go here and scroll down until you see 'Official Neowin Signature'. Click the image. Done.

EDIT (by Calum):

lcg has kindly agreed to help provide badges for those who request them, using The_Decryptor's script. Use this thread to request a badge :)

That would be fine by me. I'm more than happy to generate them for people. The script could also produce tier 1 Subscriber badges, but I'd need the tier 1 base image (i.e. the signature image with no username on it). I'll try and track down the PSD that Rob posted, as that'll have the base image.

I also just want to make clear to everyone that this is The_Decryptor's script, that he released. Kudos to him. I didn't have any role in making it.

The_Decryptor made a PHP script to generate subscriber signatures, and released it. I've got it installed on my site, so I've generated two versions for you to chose from. Credit goes to The_Decryptor.

If you got extra time and don't know what to do.... I'd love to have one too! :) :)

Rep +1 from me as well lcg ;) I don't know how long these badges take to make, using the script, but perhaps this thread could become an official request thread for the badges? It's up to you lcg :D If you don't have the time, that'd be understandable, but I know some members don't know where to look in relation to the Subscriber2 badges. Does the script also produce tier 1 Subscriber badges?

Only downside is that I can't seem to add the image to my signature yet - I get an error message saying that it exceeds the allowed image dimensions when it doesn't. Which I guess is down to the few remaining quirks which still have to be fixed.

No big issue though, cosmetic fixes like that can wait.

Yeah, I made a thread about that. It seems the maximum signature dimensions have accidentally been set as 170 x 550 rather than 550 x 170.

Doesn't work yet - I still get 

[#10211] This image is larger than the maximum allowed dimensions of 170 x 550.

when I try to add the signature image, the dimensions of which are 276 x 79.

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
