I have a signature I would like to use, however it is too large for this site. It's size is 72.5kB, but the maximum is only 19.5kB. I'm not much of a whiz with computers, so I was wondering could somebody make it small enough for this site, if that is at all possible?
Thanks,
Desert Fox

Country:  | I think that it is not a matter of the file size but it is a matter of its format.Your pic is PNG file.So I have converted this into JPG and Gif ones.Try to use one of them,please.If it failed let me know about it.I'll try to find another solution.

Country: | I'm gald that Evan helped you with the siggy.Looking at your posts I've got impression you did something in wrong way trying to set the pic as your sign.Am I right?
Some members have theri siggies quite big in size and there was no problem to use those shots.

Country: | That's what I was wondering. I like your siggy Wurger, but there was no way I could get mine to that size and keep it under 19k.
Wurger or Eric, what's the trick?

Country: | There isn't any trick for thiat.My siggy is 600x167 pixels in size.Although it was made as a gif file the JPG one could be also used and there shouldn't be any problem.When its width was over 600 the system used the small-big option automaticly ( you know the bar at the top of a pic when its demensions are to big).So taking this into consideration I have to tell that the maximal width has to be 600 pixels.I think that the main problem is how to set a pic as the siggy,probably.
Look at the post,please. http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/sig...tml#post312292 (Official Sig / Avatar test Thread (continued))

Country: | I'm not really sure what the problem was when I was trying to set it up, I noticed that many people have larger siggys than I, too. But it works now that's all that matters!

Country: | All I did was use the image tags in the signature entry line for the quote. It's the same way I do my own. There are about 3-4 different ways to attach a signature to your profile. Some of them work more consistently than others, for some weird reason.

Country: | I agree with you Evan.But I think that the problem is with the option in the shot.Many of new members try to use this one exactly.

Country: | Yep, that is one of the ways, and it has had varying degrees of success.
