When I first started at these forums it was a massive 2.4 MB but with some coperation from the members I did some testing and reduced the framerate, physical size and actual size...

Recentlly I had two peole say that it was causeing them problems where as many before said it was now OK...

Just wanted to get the opinons of the community so I can decide wether to yet again scale it down, remove it or keep it the way it is?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: The two people were C4 Miner & Marsh as I recall.

Here. I dont think flash will work on these forums, but for the good of my modem, for the love of god try to use the 9K file rather than your 300+ K one. :rolleyes:

I will try some things to see if I can get it smaller though.

Just use your current signature but take out like every other frame or so...

It doesn't need to be that fine of an animation, it's only going to be at the bottom of your post.

Damnit that sig makes my fps go down to like 1 whenever I scroll by it... it's damn annoying. Some others do it to, but yours is the most noticeable.

I just started work on it will be done soon had to install Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 again I think I may reduce the framerate even more and also the physical size and of course the quality...

Rather than post again I will edit this post with the changes...

EDIT: I have done it I hope you like it now I reduced it from 20fps to 10 and reduced the quality to as low as possible so now it is only 76 kb (didn't need to reduce the physical size though) please tell me if this is any better thanks.

Around 50k would be great...

Just delete like every other frame or so (like: 1, 2(delete), 3(delete), 4, 5(delete), 6(delete) or: 1, 2(delete), 3, 4(delete), etc.)

So that it looks choppy at the frame rate it's going at now, and speed it up a little so it looks less choppy...

You could also make it shorter, so that the text just fits inside it...
etc.

On another similar note of sigs my opinion is that a sig should 'decently' sized in length er in LINES taken up. Mine is about 10, I think as many as 15-7 is reasonable etc. Forsaken's sig is 30 lines long !!! This is the kind of thing that makes 1page threads turn into 3pages.

Basicly threads shouldn't be mostly composed of sig's instead of the actual msg.

His is the one with the song/poem/whatever in his sig right?

See, moderately long text signatures are alright if they serve a purpose (like mine, I put the links to my work in it...), But just putting some song in it isn't...

I just speeding it up and making it less choppy but it ended up just around the same size I think the current one will be alright then...

Thats it for now then.

The animation in my signature is about 204Kb. This will be dramatically lowered when I finish resizing and recolouring everything =D
