Squirtle, I get 4857 bytes, or 142 x 101 pixels for your signature picture. What happens is you reduce the 142 to 100 pixels? That should reduce the size enough.

I just shrank mine down from 140K to 31K. The image has the same file name and url so it should show up for existing and future posts with the lower bitrate. (I'm amazed that I was able to do this easily! I thought it was going to be impossible!)

Tanya I think yours is about 22K - but maybe let someone else confirm this

You guys can check your own file sizes.

Right click on the picture.

Choose 'Properties'.

Get info on dimension and file size.

I keep trying to do that but it says size is not available, when I right click and save it to my desktop and then check properties, it only has one picture instead of different pictures like it appears in my signature. I guess it must be ok though.

I knew how to do that - but just wanted to make sure I was reading it correctly - 18000bytes = 18KB?

and thanks again - I am going to have to re-work it again though because since making the images smaller their names seem to not be so clear... so I will have a look at that later this afternoon.

edit - nope cant make it look better - I have started them again - readded the text - reloaded them on photobucket etc etc - and still the text isnt clear. I guess thats because the files are so small? - oh well a task for another day - any advice anyone?

The names are clear now and, hey, I wear bifocals. You wouldn't want them so big that they detract from the photos.
