Dude, this is supposed to be for kazaalite related tips!!

I think that's why everyone ignored your post.. PM a mod and ask them to move this to where it should be, e.g. SoftwareWorld... ;)

P.S. Nice instructions though.

your avatar and signature is a related topic isnt it :huh: :blink: :unsure:

P.S. thanx lol

BOT

@drunkeNstylE--care to try to shrink this??

in order to make it fit as an acceptable sig on this board it would have to be shrunk to an unacceptable size. Making it smaller is easy, keeping the quality is not.

hi MediaSlayer

dont want to step on anyone's toes but i noticed DrunkeNStylE want here so you can have this if you like it, 17k so plenty of room for an avatar

(yes, i was bored :D)

Speaking of shrinking Signatures.

Your signature is oversize, DrunkeNStylE.

The maximum permited height is 150 pixels.

i already messeged some of the admin and they said that my sig is fine as it is :P but ill change it ne ways ;) i think every1 knows the max pixel heigth buddy lol but thanx for your concern

:huh: shure mediaslayer no prob but i really think you should try the software itself its easy and basicly very handy for having around <_< but if your gonna be lazy post you email or somthing il send it to you ok ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol: opps what i ment was isnt the forum a related to kazaalite though :huh: i mean i under stand the forum topic i posted on was ment for kazaalite related tips and not software :rolleyes: but if you think about it sigs and ava are releated to the forum and the klite forum is related to klite :unsure: right?. and if it is my post was a tip on ava and sigs then wasnt it a tip about klite :P ah well say la ve i was moved neways :angry:

Have you and ulead set a date yet? Sounds like your in love :lol: .

Anyway, I was just kidding around, I dont use mihov or any other imaging programs. Although I have in the past, lately I just have not had the need to. I actually have ulead and have never used it. I do that a lot. Install programs and dont use them for months and months but right when I think I dont need them something comes up and Im pleased that I have them anyway.. I guess I make it harder on myself by making an effort to find an image thats the correct size so i wont have to use anything to convert it or whatever. :P

:lol: :lol: :lol: i think im in love :rolleyes: :lol: :lol: jk jk naw no date yet lol <_< well mabey try using ulead instead trust (not lik eu dont know) finding correct sized avatars and sigs that togeather are less than 100kb is a major pain in da ass lol but with ne sig or ava thats too many pix or kbs is reduced to a much better higher quality amaller perfict fit in pix file lol



btw i collect .gifs and :rolleyes: so much time saved with ulead so i kind of been obsesed with the program latly lol :blink:

neither programs work for me, i&#39;m looking for one that can deal (compress) with 1mb+ animated gif files without changing the dimensions as MIHOV does. I&#39;ve tried several programs, only one did it (a while back), :( i fogot it&#39;s name., yet to come across new software that would do it tho. suggestions?

Adobe Photoshop has a "save for the web" feature...
Best picture optimizer out there right now.
