Coral Cache & Sig Generator Monitoring
We use Coral Cache http://www.coralcdn.org/ to reduce load from people using our signature generator and they seem to be having some issues where occassionally the signatures load slowly or not at all.
If their reliability proves to continue to be unpredictable then we will swtich to another method that meets our own availability standards, which are greater than 99%. If you notice signatures not loading, then please send us an email at support@guildlaunch.com so we can take a look at it.

UPDATE 5/9/2007
Ironically, Coral Cache is working just fine today. However, we've determined Coral Cache was too unreliable for us so we've changed how sigs are stored. You can regenerate your sig any time and get the new URL.
Enjoy!

My guild members are experiencing the same problem, for a few days now.
I did not use it myself because although I indicated I was a female, a male icon displays on the signature. I will be removing the link to that generator from my site. Sigh, it was KOoL

The Sig generator is still in Beta, and the purpose of Beta releases is to ferret out issues like these. We've had other reports that the images aren't showing through Coral Cache, so we'll be removing it shortly.

Edit: Your sig was sorta butchered with all kinds of garbage HTML. I removed it so it renders properly.
my sig banner that I made on here doesn't show up on my posts and I can't seem to delete the code in that area on the page either.
I would prefer to have nothing in there at all rather than just code and a pic holder. But, I can't get it to delete out of there.

I am thinking that this means that everyone has to update their signature link if it was created before 05/09? I have a few people asking why their signature doesn't seem to be updating and was wondering if it might be because they created their sig prior to this change.
Is there any other reason that they may not be updating properly other than that the image was rehosted? I played with the generator this morning to try to figure it out and it was giving me errors about 40% of the time and some strange data. For example, one of the sigs I created came up with zeros for all stats :? .
Thanks,

The old coral cache links will still work. However, they will be less reliable, so I would recommend people generate their sigs again.
There is a known issue where the generator will error out if you pick a stat that you don't have any skill in. If you've never been in a 3v3 arena and choose that you will get a broken image.
Can you give me an idea as to which stats you were picking that were causing zeros? The data comes from Blizzard, so if their site has an issue or doesn't respond in a timely manner it's possible that the numbers could show up as zeros.

For the one that is loading zeros, it is for character Encantadora, Norgannon Server. (This is one of the members that says their numbers aren't updating) I tried picking exactly what she has on her old sig: Health, Mana, Shadow Damage.....all show up as zeros, and all Talents show up as zeros, also, no crafting/profession information is showing at all. I just tried again and it does the exact same thing.

I'm not sure why yet but if you type that characters name in lower case, it loads properly: encantadora My guess is something on Blizzards armory site isn't seeing them as the same character, for some odd reason.
I'll try to figure out why and see if we can't put something in place to do that automatically.
