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.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
