can i also add ... there are still alot of sig sizes over the 25k limit .. i for one will be asking people nicely to adjust em .. im sure stu has better things to do other than delete the sig facility .. just trying to help out the dialup users

use: http://209.152.168.197/~webmask/gifoptimize/

Just imput your file if its under 60k either as a location on the web or your PC. Once optimised pick the lowest filesize decent looking pic, right click it and save to your PC.

Then upload the new pic to your photobucket account and change your Profile to reflect the new pic.
If you dont have a photobucket account use http://tinypic.com no account is necessary. Use the tag starting [IMG] as normal

hope this helps
