I just made myself a new sig tonight but it seems like theres something... weird about it. Any ideas? I'm lost as to what it could be! It's the one I'm using right now.

You have a unique style - I like it!

It took me ages to get to grips with the whole size maximum thing too...I would make the siggies and save them under 30kb, but when I loaded them to photobucket they would go over 30kb. My trick now is when I go to 'save for web', I make sure the kb value is around 26-27 kb. Then I can guarantee it won't exceed 30kb when its finally uploaded on photobucket and imported onto TCS.

Look forward to seeing more of your sigs!

I could have sworn I saw 640 as the maximum length requirement when I checked the yesterday but I guess not! Are my eyes getting weird in their old age?? I thought I had the resizing situation under control there but I must do a double take now - Minxie, I'll have to make sure to remember that when I save them next time.

Thank, you, both of you- I have been signature making for three months with a group of people who make gorgeous signatures, blends, banners, icons, etc. and I am not the best out of them (but their styles have rubbed off on me). It's really worth a visit there, though I can't guarantee 12+ the whole way. Here's my gallery/portfolio, 12+ all the way - yee hah!

640 is ok as the maximum length but most of the sigs are made at 550x134 (150 inc text is the max height with text at font size 2 being 16px in height)

I usually only make them bigger if there is 4+ cats because you can get better image quality on the smaller sig than the bigger one.

It looks great though
