Sig pic file size

[Hiro]

Hmm. I view 3mb for gifs being the max, but then again my download speeds are pretty decent. :/

my d/l speeds are rubbish, and even when I'm only on my 2GB RAM netbook I very rarely crash the forum

As has been said, gifs should be small files (under 1mb)
Mine is 48.3 kb (idk if thats correct, im using 'properties' [of the file])

I know that the 700 x 300 animated signatures are huge and are difficult to load, but the smaller ones are fine.
The animated signatures I make (this one is the one with the most colours) takes 960kb on my HDD.
I try to keep to 400 x 150 to make my signatures, because I think 700 x 300 is a huge amount for an image which is a signature. I'd expect that more of a website header!

*just my pennys worth*
