I've been working on a GIF sig for another nongaming forum. I've got the appropriate size down, and when saved and uploaded to photobucket, I have the delay speed per layer going at 5 seconds.
However, when I paste the IMG in the sig area, the delays become almost instant, thus making it unreadable. Also, it's saved at 128kb and the accepted size for this forum is only 10kb.
Q1: How can I retain the appropriate speed when pasting it into my sig profile?
Q2: Is there any way I can save it smaller without losing the effects?
Sig in question

Maybe you should post this where gay WoWers and FFXIers will see it. They love sigs.
Hah!
Hah!
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
You'd probably get the help you want in OOT. Freaks and all that but most of them would know.

Either cut down on the frames or try to drop the quality of the images.
Also, make sure that the images you are using are 72 DPI. If they were taken off of a point -n - shoot digital camera, it is probably at about 150 dpi. This will force extraneousness info into the gif.
Thanks Psi.

More frames doesn't necessarily mean more size. It depends on if the pictures are different or if you have some repeating pictures.
Also 72 dpi or 150 dpi isn't going to really matter. A 500x100 72dpi image has just as many pixels as a 500x100 150dpi image. The difference is the 150dpi would be displayed smaller due to having more pixels per inch. DPI doesn't really matter that much when it comes to the web but can have a high impact on print.

My bad.
I tinkered with it a bit, however I could not reduce it down past 48kb and the picture wasn't very good at all. 79kb was the best quality and lowest size I could achieve.
thanks for the input and help folks. I appreciate it.
I found out last night I cant even use the damn thing on the site I was making it for so its a washnow. Too bad, cause I taught myself how to do that over the past week and kept the damn thing as G rated as possible. Now I find out I could have used whatever words I damn well chose. :p
At least I was able to teach myself a few tricks in sig making while learning though.
