oh, is there a way u could increase the amount of memory u could use for an avatar, or would that slow things down?
What's the limit now, 20K? That seems sufficient for any static/animated sig. You just gotta know how to optimize those animated ones.
Try uploading it somewhere and linking to it. I think that will fix your problem.
no, that doesn't work i've already tried.
Was the image broken? If you were using a free service like geocities or tripod, those don't allow offsite hosting of images, so you can't link to them. If you pick a good one, you should be able to see your avatar.
If you use
http://www.freeservers.com)
they let you link images off-site. That's what I always use ;)
netfirms.com and webspawner.com are good too.
