I think that the embedded image option should be the rolling 30 day since it is just a single number. And Shazam, I am right that javascript is not easy to add to a signature and it needs to be an image for the most people to embed the value?
I'm not sure the forum allows either in a signature. However, links to the embedded image is rather easy. Also, I just posted your web link in a promotion.

I'm all for transparency; however, promoting the rolling # first makes sense and then providing the MTD # as well would probably be the best in my opinion. This would not only promote the pool in the best light* but also provide full disclosure of the current month numbers.

This does make sense. I believe that's how he intends to set it up. I was just basing my decision on one, or, the other.
