That's strange his png is 90 odd kb, my sig pngs are around 23kb and are more or less the same dimensions and probably have more color!

Will, if you're using Photoshop to create the PNGs, use the Save for web feature and select PNG-8 rather than PNG-24... I'll doubt you'll notice any visual difference (Y)

Sorry. My bad. I just got 900 posts today, but I'm still a HUGE noob. I'll try that out. Noob question: how do you check how big the file is? Is there any way other than explorer?

Yeah, if you've got Photoshop and use the Save for web feature like I explained, then an estimate of the filesize is shown in that dialog box in the bottom left :)

Okay sounds good. I actually just have the CS trial. My dad wouldn't let me download it :(. He says I have to save up. I only make $10 a week on allowence (I'm 14 :blush:) - I'm looking for a job this summer to get PSCS. My dad works at a university so he has access to the $300 full academic version.

Haha! I was actually thinking of doing a Prince of Persia sig after I do my homework :p. And I'm still working on getting you your $7!

Damn, that definitely not a lot of dollars...plus I haven't actually sued you yet so you can keep that $7 for your CS fund...

...for now (Y)

I'm guessing you use either Firefox or Opera to browse NW otherwise you would have seen how your sig looks in IE...

...IE doesn't do PNG transparency yet (N) That's why I stay away from creating transp pngs for my sigs and avatars :)

Well it sucks for you if you use IE :p. They're the ones who are missing out. Is IE6SP2 going to have png transparency? Actually the sig doesn't look too bad in IE. And [DRUM_ROLL]

[/DRUM ROLL]

Now for todays sig update! Same sig in PNG-8 to save N|W some bandwidth! This time don't get mad at me, [tk] made me!!! [WINEY_VOICE]He started it![/WINEY_VOICE]. :p. Hope everyone's happy now w/ my sub-50k siggy.

I do notice some grainess in the image now, but I'd rather that then [GASP] break the rules :o.
