No problem, I'll repost everyone's sigs tonight at a reduced filesize. A question though, I use PS CS2 and when I save as JPG it offers a compression percentage (1-12) I always choose an approx value of 8. CS2 tells me that this will take a 56k user between 1-3 secs and a 512k user approx 0.25 secs. I 'm curious as to whether I should trust these figures if Infranview says different.

I will not argue that if you have a page with an average of 7 sigs at the current compression that a 56k user will have to wait a whopping 21 secs for the page to load. Plus we know how unrealiable dialup is, speed wise.

If I can correct the sigs I have released (and get people to use them) would you consider making this thread a sticky. This will promote correct use of sigs in arguably the most popular area of Subsim. Perhaps you could post your reminder on sig size on the first page.

I am always open to suggestions that will keep Subsim a viable resource for ALL users.

Try a much lower value, or resave them with Irfanview, it has a very good JPG compression algorithm and it´s freeware for non-commercial use.

If a 56K user is lucky he has a transfer rate of 5.5KB/s, so that´s 13 seconds for your signature. With ISDN about 9 seconds.

Ok.

Thank you very much Gizzmoe! :yep:

@Danslisa:

I belive my second text wish was "GW user on the hunt". Could you change it please in you final version! Thanks!

Hi Res,

Sure I'll change the text for you, I think that I forgot, so sorry.

Ref: Gizzmoe making this thread sticky - he answered OK to me asking him to CONSIDER making this sticky. It will be dependant on whether I can get all sigs I made reduced in file size & the owners using them.;)

As suggested by Gizzmoe, I have reduced the file size of all the sigs I have produced. Scaled from approx 78kb to approx 17kb.

If you would be kind enough to adopt these it will keep this thread 56k friendly.

Note, there is no image quality degredation.

Or please ask for any changes:)

Stickied! :up:

:o:o:o

Both are excellent, but I can't make my mind. If I pick the one with the XXI in it, it will show who's teh man :D

But the ship only one, seems more FULL and it says more. More fullfilling, makes you think who can do such a thing.

I'd like your opinion.

Thank you Gizzmoe. :yep:

Hi Res

Personally, I would use the Ship Only version. Plus there's more room for medals:up:

Stickied:rock: Thanks Gizz:D

Agreed! :D

New sig again. . .:lol:
Comments welcome!:oops:
(Not on size though...):arrgh!:
