Lack Of A ProBoards Button Generator

If anyone remembers the Yabb Button Generator, you will know that it is helpful for creating ProBoards buttons, as they are indentical (v1 buttons from Yabb). Problem is, the generator no longer works, the website still exists, but you can not get access to the generator, it appears to have been removed.

The script to generate the buttons is in Perl, coded by Christian A. Erös (aka cae), and I have not found another button generator that generates the ProBoards style buttons.

So apart from manually creating them by joining the letters together (or getting hold of the font to generate them), a lot of people are out of luck. So I thought I would have a go at creating one specifically for ProBoards in PHP.

I’ll keep you posted how I get on with it. I really should be doing other things, but I like a good challenge :P

  5. The generator doesn’t work properly. I used it and then hit “Generate Button” and saved them onto my computer, but they don’t have file extensions. I couldn’t upload them to photobucket. Am I doing something wrong?

  7. I gave it a test just now, seems to be working fine. Make sure you aren’t using an old version of the flash player. :)
