As mine keeps getting removed even though i use photoshop and set the template to a few pixels less in each direction than the maximum size, yet it still gets removed for being the wrong dimensions! i'm pretty sure photoshop is accurate!
 
Hmm might not be, but thats not what the warning says - says 400x75 is the problem. I never check the size, but i do save it at low quality so i cant really make it any smaller :confused:
 
Post your sig in here and we can see what the problem is.

Edit: while we are on the subject of sigs can someone please drop this down a kb or so. I have tried loads of things..:(

"Save for Web" in Photoshop. Select an appropriate file format for the image contents (PNG for line drawings/things with solid blocks of colour, JPEG for photos). If you're using a format with a colour table (GIF, PNG-8) try reducing the number of colours in it. If you're using JPEG, reduce the quality.

Save for Web shows the file size in the status bar, so keep playing 'til you get <20KB.

Can you not open that Nazi banner in Paint and save as jpeg?

Just tried it in paint and it went down to 3.33KB. I'd host it for you but imageshack is being a goddamn queer again.

open in PS, save for web and set the colours to 128 instead of 256. Makes no real visible difference. Sets it to 17.6kb and will look way better than paints horrible jpeg artifacting

The flag is the base layer and was very high res. I wanted to keep it at best quality. The scene when Spears took down the flag in that big Nazi house/meeting place in last episode made me want to make one based on the flag and BoB.

Hope it doesnt offend anyone.

Cant see why not. After all it is a part of our history. I did have in mind to put the Stars and stripes on the sig aswell along with other WWII emblems including some BoB images.
