Question BBcode Problem..

Well, it is more bragging than anything else, but Geocaching.com provides the stats graphics directly from their site with current up to date stats... The same as World of Warcraft Guild stats, and a lot of others do.

Most all geocaching community forums allow use, and I had made a huge mistake in assuming that this one with out testing. I like just about every other aspect of it. Most of the others use phpBB and I wanted to do something different, plus I liked the Kunena demo.

Well ... given the ability to put all kinds of mischievous, malicious code into these so-called on-the-fly-generated images, the developers of Kunena decided that it was more important to deliver a safe, reliable, crack-free discussion forum than what might be possible using other forum software. Anyway, it's your choice and you can use whatever you want to use (as long as you don't expect the developers of Kunena to provide the ability to mess around with users' websites or PCs in order to achieve it).

The inability to include such kinds of dynamically-created images contained in a user's signature is a security feature of Kunena. Interesting discussion but I don't think that Kunena will solve your problem without causing a lot worse ones.
