Hey Guys,
It’s me again and due to excessive procrastination from doing my lessons I have built you all another thing to use.
To use just put this in the forum signature box of your favorite forums and hope it works.

I’m planning on adding more in the future with different information on them, any suggestions?
Hope you guys enjoy =)
Why not.
I tried it. So, first time you access the URI, you get an error about the file missing (probably because the image is not generated yet).
Then, I find the layout a bit weird. Especially the level label position.
And last, maybe that’s because my level has 2 digits, but I get a weird layout:
Also, I don’t like exposing my API key in the image link. That’s also why I uploaded this ^ image elsewhere). The API key is theorically private. Maybe generate a link and provide it to the user? Or maybe you don’t want to, which would probably be fine for everyone else. I have no use for forum signatures anyway. Just curiosity.
Suggestion: Write WK somewhere on the box?

Yeah, I'll admit I'm abusing the API Key a little, I'll try and find a way to hide it while keeping it simple to use.
you should probably just build a database of usernames with the api keys so usernames could be used instead. I don’t think that the sig feature would get that much use (I would definitely use it though!) currently that it would create too much pressure on your server 
I… I think this could make this place much more convoluted if people started showing signatures like that…
The color n stuff just make it way too distracting.

But otherwise I think caching would be nice, like hourly or even longer intervals, if the traffic goes berserk.
My suggestion:
Why not use the level icons from the WK Media Pack? Instead of writing the text, you can make it nice and simple. Keep it up.
Apraxas said... I.... I think this could make this place much more convoluted if people started showing signatures like that....Haha, It's not really for here though. The forum doesn't even let you add signatures (a good thing imho).

emin said... saving API keys in a database? Hmm...Yes, I mean: Kinda like kiko did it, you wanted a sig, it made one and refreshed it on every levelup. And there was no api key in the url afaik. It ended to username.ext (png I think)

Thanks for this. My only suggestion, and it’s completly self serving so feel free to ignor, is to add one more counter for vocab that is a guru or higher. It could fill that blank spot below burned kanji.
