Im writing this in the bash pit because ill probably get flamed for it, but i dont see why the forum has an image size limit (im ok with the dimension limit) of 20 measly kb, I had a sig of 47kb and had to replace it.

The old one was 47kb as i've already said, and was saved as the highest quality jpg in photoshop. When i saw the "Image removed, please see forum rules" notice in my sig i thought it a bit unfair that i had to replace it with an image of low quality like this one:
[IMAGE]

The one i have in my sig at the moment is 30kb because, rather frankly, id rather put up with a 0.5second increase in loading time than have to look at that image. I think the limit should be increased because its rather limiting, and the loading time, even on computers with a slow connection, is too small to be noticed.

Anyway, flame me if you want but i just wanted to put across my views, nothing has to be done about it, but it would be good if something was. Thanks for your time.

Yeah... I used a Modem... Guess why I didn't post at all in the beginning. The forums where so damn slow with my 56k that I gave up and stopped until I got the broadband I have now. And if there are maybe... 25 posts on one page, all with 10kb more than allowed in their sig... guess what happens X.x

Sam, upload a high-quality version of it somewhere and I'll make you one that conforms to the rules without crappy quality.

It's also annoying for users with a maximum bandwith a month(like me)
If everyone would start having 100 kb siggies, i'm doomed! So many users, so many siggies, at least one megabyte a page waaah can't imagine, please leave the max size 20 kb, it's great that way.

Ok, im sorry i ever posted this, I didnt quite realize how much time it takes for a modem user.

EDIT: Thanks Serial Killer for the gif. Lock this if you want.
