No worries glad to help....
One thing tho - the file size of that pic is 49,208kb and the max filesize allowed for sig pics is 25,000kb - so your gonna need to up the compression on it to lower the filesize, then save and re-upload it and re-link it to your sig
Easiest way, right click>copy pic, open the bog standard MS Paint, paste the pic there, the SAVE AS > choose name > choose jpeg as the file type and save. This usually brings the filesize down enough

nearly there mate Okay so now its within size and you have 3 pic's merged into 1
Left click on it and it will tell you the file size (currently 49,208 bytes), to keep within forum rules this needs to be less than 25,000 bytes.
In photoshop re open your pic and select 'save for web'
This will optimise it with a smaller file size, but keep the picture the same size.
Again ensure you have .jpg selected and play with the 'quality slider' until your file size is below 25k, and the picture still looks okay.
Save, then re upload to photobucket and change your profile again
Job done

No problems testing - thats what its here for.
Your picture in your sig would be massivly too big though.
To get it to show you would need to add [img] before all your text and [/img] after it
I have re sized it to be within the sig sizes allowed on Pf for you, but you may want to do more work on it first.
or add to it like this ??

..... and you need the brackets around each of the img and /img words

For now, right click on the one I posted above (which ever you like) and select "save picture as"
Save it to your PC somewhere, then upload that one to your photobucket account and then change the coding in your sig profile to the new details.
All pictures you post anywhere on the web will usually need the [img] code at the beginning and [/img] code at the end.
to edit the size yourself you will have to open up the program you created it in and use its size reducing tools.
Hope that helps.

I don't know
I am using Paint Shop Pro 7 tho, not Photoshop, so does that make a difference?

Can you take this image;
And save it as just black lettering, no backround, and then again as white lettering no backround for me please? Pretty please
Fank you!

How do i get my pictures under 5KB so i can use them as my avatar ? Most of them are at least 250KB. This question might have been asked already on this topic but i wasn't going looking at them all.
