What exactly do you mean?

Resize or compress?

You can use a free image suite (i.e Infran view or GIMP) to resize your image. You can do this by setting your own pixel dimensions or by manually dragging corners. Sometimes, cropping maybe your best choice as if you just resize you may experience some distortion/warping of the original.

To compress your JPG, you can use the same programs and when choosing 'save as jpg' set your compression percentage before saving. Usually 70-80% will still keep the image sharp and without pixelation.

its not dangerous situation mate,
its a bit rude to fire foul language in a different language at others

and I know what he said, I work in tourism armed with lots of dictionaries.

I know some people are fond of their sigs...but a sig of 2 MB is a pain for 56 K users and other slow internet users, or people that have limited bandwitch.

thats all mate nothing to worry about.

Thanks mate.

I have removed the off topic items in this discussion. Make your own threads in which to cry like small children.

Guys, we have to set some baselines for sig sizes, otherwise they get bigger and bigger.... kind of like my Mastercard bill.

Thanks for your cooperation.

yes but 100kb is rediculous... if its gonna be that low... might as well ban all images/animated gifs in signatures and only allow text......

But what about dial-up users?

[elite_hunter_sh3]

ok dailup is 56kb/s ... 2.2mb is 2200ish kb... divide by 56... u get around 40.22 or so seconds..... and the rest of the page is a megabyte or 2 more....another 2min or so...
so the sig pictures are reduced to a ridculously small size of 100kb.. jus for 40 seconds... while the overall page while take a good min or 2 to load....

if they are gonna reduce sigs to be that small... then just ban them overall....

Why do you have to have that pasta sig, you d/l the archive i posted, why not choose something smaller or at least resize pasta to a smaller resolution/quality?

[elite_hunter_sh3]

mehh... i dont care that much anymore....lol if i probably add a sig... a month or 2 down the road they r gonna reduce it again...... so i dont care now....

p.s its one hell of a collection.. :P
