I'm not that good, there are guys on this forum that make what i do look like toilet paper.
but thanx for the compliment Ark, and I'll see what I can do later today.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

Play around between jpg with compression and gif to which which gives you the best size/quality ratio.

when you save for web, there is a little arrow head on the side that gives you the option to optimize for file size

Do you mean what's allowed? If that's what you mean, here it is from the rules:

My avvie is actually 120x140, so I could heighten it to 160, but it's a cut straight from the edge of my sig, so I'll rather just leave it.
