Title: What's wrong with my sig?
Post by: Gingerbread on September 17, 2012, 04:38:53 AM

It's 200x446, that is AFAIK within regs, why is it being removed?

It's being removed due to the file size. It's 132KB, that's more than double the allowed size of 60k.

That would be it. It's too "heavy."

Okies thanks for the clarification :)

Next question, how do I slim it down? I'm so crap at technical stuffs :blush:

I can't even work out how to check the weight...if I right click I don't get a properties button, I get "Inspect Element", and when I click on that it brings up a lod of complete gobbledygook at the bottom of the page... :blink:

If you're using Firefox, it's listed under View Image Info :) then it'll show file size/weight.

You'll have to open the file and re-save it with some compression to help lower it.

I've done something to it, don't know if it's the right something.

I'm using Google Chrome :)

Cool, thanks! I think it's because Photobucket is being so bloomin' slow with updating itself!
