 GamerSigs FAQ
This posting contains the Frequently asked questions for the site and for the gamer signature creation features.
Q: What is this site used for and why does it exist? A: Well, the idea behind the site is to fill a void when another major gamercard site closed down a while back--- with a little twist. The general Idea is that you should be able to easily create a signature backgraound and specify data from an data feed to add to it. Currently, the only data feed supported (and coded for) is the [url="http://www.360voice.com"]www.360voice.com API[/url], but I've found others that will eventually be supported. WOW is an example of one with a feed I plan to support.
Q: Do you plan on supporting gamer cards for other platforms other than the Xbox360? A:Yes, providing a feed of data is available to me, like the one provided by the kind folks at 360voice or one can be generated from site data.
Q: What do you mean from site data? A:Well, the site roadmap I plan on is to allow you to enter in what games you own, regardless of platform, so there are some plans there to use that data to create gamer cards with the data. Like "I own an Atari 2600 and a collection of 300 games."
Q: I looked at the signatures and I don't like any of them, but I really want a new X gamer signature. Will you have one any time soon? A:Maybe. Check back and see if anyone makes one in the New Signature Gallery. If they haven't you can make one, if you like, and contribute it for all to use or for your own personal use.
Q: I can make a signature and you'll host it for me? A:Yes! However, I do plan to allow those who share get some sort of special stuff and likely those who host an image for their own personal use will have to come back to the site at some frequency to keep the image hosting or participate in some other way.
Q: So what do I have to pay to host my own personal signature? A:Nothing. We charge nothing for this service, but keep in mind that if you don't share images the community doesn't grow and we'll likely have some mechanism in the future that will require you to participate in some other way, like simply come to the site occasionally.
Q: Hey I got new badges or my gamerscore changed. What do I do to update my signature? A:Nothing.That's the best part! The signature will automatically be updated when it is used in a signature, so it will always display your most current data.
Q: Hey I want to change my signature to a newer image I just saw. How do I do that? A:That too is easy, Simply create a new signature for your gamertag and that image will now be your signature.
