No WONDER! http://www.deviatedcommunity.com/shadow/simon.gif You're using a JPG on a PIXEL SIG! Of COURSE it's going to be too big. There we go. 66.1 KB to 2.5 KB. JPEG to GIF. No loss of quality AT ALL. Everyone do me a favor. ALWAYS USE GIFs FOR PIXEL SIGS. Well, even if you don't, NEVER USE JPEGs. That's what happens when you try to use MS Paint to save GIFs. lol In MS Paint, the trick to save GIFs is to, first, Select All (ctrl+a), then copy (ctrl+c), then save it as a GIF, then Paste (ctrl+v), then save it (ctrl+s). I know, confusing, and not very efficient, that's why I use Photoshop for conversion.
