How to add a BOINC forum signature: BBCode, HTML, Markdown
An Aster signature is an animated GIF that shows your BOINC credit, rank and support title. On most forums it takes a few seconds to add to the signature field.
Steps
- Create your Aster profile; no account is needed.
- Type your CPID; your projects come in by themselves.
- In the signature manager pick a layout (banner, wide, small or detailed table), a theme and the projects to show. You can make a separate signature for every forum.
- Copy the code your forum supports from the boxes below.
Which code?
- BBCode: phpBB, SMF, vBulletin and BOINC project forums. It looks like
[url=…][img]…[/img][/url]. - HTML: for your own site or blog.
- Markdown: GitHub, Reddit and similar places.
Updating
The GIF refreshes every half hour and your credit is read from the projects every hour. You never need to change the image; the address stays the same.
