DDTB is the expert I believe, there are special software tools to reduce photos so you can use them for avatars

I just use Photoshop to resize a pic to the size permitted and adjust resolution accordingly so that it doesn't breach the max KB size.

Maybe time to have a word about sigs...
Gorrie's is about the limit for what I think is fair. Bit big TBH. We don't want this looking like a croooze site with the sigs bigger than the posts - doesn't do anything for those reading at work.
Cool folks?

Agree - also huge text sigs serve feck all purpose (given that we`ll all have read them a lot as its not like there is 10,000posters on here
)
