Trying out a test with the signature.

Postby spyderman1977 » Fri Jun 01, 2007 4:18 pm

I was looking on another forum and found a really cool avatar but couldnt get it to work the way i wanted to due to size problems so I am going to try it in a signature.

Ok lets try this again...any suggestions comments....

Dennis or Colin I think that the GIF came out to large. If so let me know and I will shrink it down to a smaller size.



Thanks,
Paul

Cool, Paul. Try cropping the images first and then resize them. I try to do that with all of my images in the garage.

When I first did the GIF I made the images smaller but they didnt come out right. I played around some more with the program and finally got the pics to shrink some without messing up the images during the slide show. I think tomorrow I will go back and make the pics alittle smaller so that they are not over bearing the post and then resave the file and reset my profile.

I tried originally to put the image in the avatar but the file size was too large so it would not go through. I guess its too many cars :((

I will keep playing with it and maybe get it right. I was just curious to see how it would look on here. Thats why I ended up sticking this post over here so I wouldn't clutter up the main general section.

I still have to find some pics of the other cars to stick in the slide show ;)

Yeah, that's way too big. You're not using any our resources since it's hosted at photobucket, but like zeke mentioned, it's just going to make life hard for dialup users.

I recommend cropping each image to a shorter aspect ratio, maybe 640x120, then compressing the heck out of the file. Signatures are typically 200k or less (ballpark) and yours is almost 10x that size.

going to try to shrink it down some

Postby spyderman1977 » Sat Jun 02, 2007 9:50 pm

I took the sig off till I can get it resized. I am hoping that after I shrink the pics that the file size will go down enough so that dial up users wont lag whenever the see a post.

But for now I will leave the sig off.

I am still trying to figure it out ;)

Thanks guys,
Paul
