BMPs are huge and unpractical for most web-based things, hence the reason most sites don't allow for them.

right. *.jpg files are far smaller than bitmaps.

and if your picture only has a very small number of colors (under 256)... then an even SMALLER file is a *.gif.

and your sig is HUGE.... you might wanna scale that puppy down!

they allowed BMP in february, and all of a sudden it is not allowed, what gives?

ohh ok

thanks

well, it's just, when I had repainted my sig, and I saved it as a JPG file, it became all blurry as it is now. Does anybody know how to change, with the picture still being JPG format ???

what program did you use?

b/c i've had my jpgs turn out that way after i made them in MSpaint.
if you START as a bitmap in ms paint... it tends to blur a bit when you save as jpg.

and b/c mspaint doesn't let you CHOOSE which 256 colors to use for making your gif image... your image will come out blotchy. B/c mspaint has a pre-set color pallet for gif images, and it will match what colors you use AS CLOSELY as possible, but it's not always that close.

so. if you've got photoshop...

--it lets you define you gif colors... and the image will stay crisp.

--it also has a far better success rate (~100%) with turning BMPs into JPGs and not making them blurry.

if you DON"T have photoshop... try manipulating the image as a jpg from the beginning. if you never CONVERT it to bmp format, then you won't have to worry about it blurring when you try to change it BACK to jpg.
