A lot of sigs and avaters are not showing up. Anyone else notice this? Can you see my sig \/ cause I can't even though I know it's there because I uploaded it. Does this have anything to do with the size of the picture?

Size is a definate issue with your sig Steveo, its a 430K bmp. I would suggest making it a .jpg file if you can but if you dont have the tools and would like me to take a crack at it please send me a PM.

Doh, I was bored. 
I converted it to a .jpg and its down to 44k in size. Here it is if you want to replace your sig.

Microsoft Photo Editor does really well at converting .bmp to .jpg. Quick and clean.

bitmap... BLEGH!!! NEVER use those, if you ahve a file in bmp, change it as soon as possible before the suck of the file spreads to other good pictures. i mean sure, carrying around 1.25 gb of zip disks can get annoying but the quality pays off

I know how to turn a pic into a jpg. All you have to do is open it in MSPaint and choose 'Save As' and choose JPG format. I did that and I just didn't like how it looked. Anyway, it's showing up now and if you want me to, I can still use the jpg.

| It does make a slight bit difference to the quality, but it's not worth keeping it at 9x the size just for that bit. |

Please switch to the .jpg Stevo, a 440K file instead of a 44K file really clobbers those with slower connections.
