Personal Gamercard Script from Xbox Rewards

Submitted by Midnight on Wed, 02/21/2007 - 12:33am.

If you sign up for xbox rewards then you can click "Get Gamercard Code" to copy and paste the HTML code for your personal gamercard. I clicked "my account" below and then "edit" to put it into my signature. It appears to work great.

But can I get creative and post anyone's gamercard?

If you've signed up for Xbox Rewards, then it appears I can. I tried THX Reverend and it displayed nothing.

What do they offer over other gamercard services?

I don't know of other gamercard services. I just found this nosing around the xbox rewards site. What are some other sources?

It seems everything

It seems everything is not loading on those gamercards. the bottom of them looks empty where the recently played games should have been.

Several of us used to

Several of us used to display our gamercards in our signature on the last THX forum. I thought most everyone one knew those kind of services were available.

Here are some links I found:

http://www.glop.org/gamercard/ (my fav. stylish. versatile. )
http://www.mygamercard.net/ (by far the largest and most popular. has a ton of add-on services like stats tracking, achievements tracking, custom backgrounds, etc.)
http://www.livecard.net/

I don't like the way

I don't like the way signatures work on this forum, so I don't use any. It'd be nicer if the signature was more than just pre-pasted text in your body.

Hmm, you're level three.

Hmm, you're level three. Does that mean you qualify for the big package of prizes that includes Fusion Frenzy 2?

In addition to being level

In addition to being level three I'm also a dumbass. I didn't realize you had to "sign up" for individual challenges. I thought once I was registered I was golden. I added 3000 points to my gamerscore last week and it was all for nothing (as far as Xbox Rewards go). I didn't even earn a stick of deodorant.

+1,

we're working on it. I think we've almost found a solution. Tonight I'll see if it works. A big issue right now is how the gamertags should be displayed. Currently, the way we are doing gamertags in the comments, it won't do for long. The reasons are because now we are relying on an external site to post a gamertag X amount of times, where X is the amount of comments on the page... it could reach up to 100 requests per page load. That sucks. I want to cach them periodically and serve them up directly from THX. Quick page loads would result.

The only thing holding this up is my gaming time at night... darn crackdown.
