There seems to be an issue with updating signatures and avatars - I hope it's not just me. Attempting to update my signature gives me the following error: Things I tried: - Double checked the image URL was definitely correct and was also the right size (600x140) - Tested the BB-Code both in the signature preview also in a forum thread - no errors and it displays fine - Uploading the image to two different image hosts, and the same error occurs - Refreshed the signature edit page, so it's still got my existing (working) signature in there, hit Save Changes without actually changing anything and the error still occurs - Took out all image code altogether and it updated Error with the avatar update is as follows: This is using the "Import" function - uploading still seems to work fine.

Thanks Mahi

Things you can do to reduce the file size of an animated GIF: 1. Make it smaller (width/height) In making signatures/avatars, there's not really much you can do about this unless you want one that's smaller than the norm. 2. Reduce the number of frames by shortening the animation Obviously the most effective without sacrificing quality, however not always the most desirable. I've cut sections out of many of my sets to try and get the size down though. 3. Reduce the number of frames by deleting every second frame (result will obviously not be as smooth) Not something I ever do really, but it's a possibility. 4. Reduce the number of colours The easiest thing to tinker with to try and get the size down, but is where you will get the most reduction in quality. GIF files only support 256 colours in total, but you can save them with less than this to make them smaller. The quality degradation is more noticeable the more colourful your original animation is. There are only 256 possible shades of grey in RGB, including black & white, so if you save a greyscale image as a GIF you won't get any quality loss at all if you save it in maximum colour resolution. Even if you cut the colours though, the loss in quality is less than it would be for a colour image. This is why I use a lot of greyscale and/or desaturated images in my sets. eg. Compare the size vs quality below: Specs: Coloured animation saved with 256 colours (maximum quality), saved with "noise" dither: Size: 1019kb Quality: Pretty good, but still has visible noise Specs: Coloured animation saved with 32 colours, saved with "noise" dither: Size: 484kb Quality: Pretty awful! Specs: Greyscale animation saved with 256 colours (maximum quality), saved with "noise" dither: Size: 1367kb Quality: As good as it gets - equal to the original video file Specs: Greyscale animation saved with 32 colours, saved with "noise" dither: Size: 607kb Quality: Pretty good, but with visible noise - about on par with the first example (max quality coloured GIF)

Amazing

Thanks Matute

Check and see what your image resolution is. If you go to Image > Image Size... what does it say in "Resolution"? If you change it to 72 pixels/inch (untick "Resample Image" before you do this) does the font size go back to normal?

Aymeline's shoulders/clavicles are epic by the way No interest in Ksenia, Andy? Not blonde, but she reminds me of a Russian Karlie Kloss a little. She's got stunning eyes & lips too

^A bit of Calvi about the vocals! Great posting Michael*, I adore that TNAF video (Y) I saw Laura Marling about a week ago, in one of the most beautiful gigs I can recall. Just her, playing in a church - no band, with the exception of a cellist on a few songs. Support was Marika Hackman, also sans band. Fell in love twice

Amazing adds everyone, thanks!

Thanks all!

Thanks sarnic & Mahi. Can't wait to see her VS shots!
