25k Sig limit?
Right, first off, this aint a dig at anyone! 
I fully understand that the site costs money to run, and the more images etc it shows, the longer it takes to load, blah blah, thats all cool, and a bit up to Pet and Stu for doing it
But!
Ive been making myself a new sig, finished it, then uploaded it, and remembered it had to be under 25k... back into photoshop i went, resized it, compromised a bit of image quality, and checked the filesize.. 32k bugger. Tried again, resized it, cut the quality a bit, still 29k.
Finally got it to less than 25k, and this is the outecome:
Shocking quality, you have to agree?
Either, im doing something wrong?, or the 25k limit is taking the piss a wee bit?
Agian, no offence intended, but in my honest opinion, 35k would be alot better, and shouldn't really affect loading times greatly? Especially, as i assume most* are on some form of broadband?

It might just be the way your using your photoshop skills mate.
ask Madmac or Billabong or Thrush for info on photoshop - they are the sig meisters.

When you save the file as a JPG turn the LZW compression down from high to the lowest setting. that should help.
I had the same problem and ended up with a postage stamp size sig

i REALLY struggles to get photoshop to save a sig smaller than 25k! even on lowest compression! 
i THINK its something to do with NTFS... the file size is estimated 16kj ish but when i save it to disk it always goes to about 28k
