I almost always read sigs. More often than not they contain something interesting so they're usually worth paying attention to.

Yeah... i'll remove that text, i sorta figured when i made my sig exactly 600x120.
but i read sigs alot, to me, expecially the ones that are clever, are hilarious.
EDIT:
I removed the text, this OK now?

PNGs do support animation, you just need the right editor.

probably a good reason for that, in my web editor it says there is a hck to make browser support PNG files, thus meaning theyre not naturally supported

I think the new windows Icons use larger GIF's and also a particular form of PNG, im more on ICO format as a better guess... however lol we can use ICO and BMP for our DBPRO icons... so I am stuck there lol and findint it on Microsoft Technet might prove a little tedious lol but worth a try i guess, Hmm I may make this a topic post on my blog later...

preliminary search animated png has these at the top on goog

hope they help

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG
http://www.animatedpng.com

(had a quick read for time being and found IE really dislikes animated PNG's Opera and FF support them, but looks like you need a tweak, I still do not see the point though... GIF's provide enough fun see my sig - and click it ^^)

EDIT

corrected a typo

MY NEW SIG ^^ MADE IT LESS IRRITATING

dont mean to double post, but jeku removed my sig script, so need to test to see if it works... if he realised it was not the script that needed changing, but my linked file... I wouldnt need to do this

So just checking to see if it is the correct script and I will go back and edit the size of my image file now

EDIT

ok it worked just had to add center commands to it, time to reedit my new edit

edit

I reduced the solour palette, thats a good tip for everyone ^^ its now just 216Kb (221991bytes)

time to readjust ^^

EDIT

but is it 100kb even though its loading off of a business class 50000mbit server?

EDIT

there you go 110Kb ^^ and reduced in size ^^

I will be changing it soon anyway so >.< but if someone accesses my sig, as with anybody elses sig, unless they clear cache on exit often, it stays local so... nevermind ^^

EDIT

Just noticed travis's animated image is stored on TGC site... how?
not that I want to, just curious... I will always store any image I submit onto here on my own server to ensure it is always availale as well as update-able therefore not being unable to be seen or being out dated, I am however going to be running a service for uploading images to my servers as well as video as a community site thing, obviously with certain requirements and restrictions... just find all those current services of... annoyance... its nice when you have your own tools ^^

@MrValentine - It's not the server that I'm wary of, but people's load times when viewing the forum.

Loads instantly for me compared to TGC's extremely slow page loads... Then again it is a very active server so you cant blame it for slow loading. And the sig looks good!

And to keep things on topic so Jeku doesnt lock this (jk) look at my new sig and see how well you can pronounce it

Today I realized that you can lock a locked lock in a locker with a lock that is locked.

That doesn't make any sense, then if the Locker's locked, how would you get in the locker to lock the lock?

travis, he puts a locked lock in a locker, which he then locks with another lock, thus he locked a locked lock in a locker with a locked lock.

And no, I didn't just say lock a lot to confuse people. =/

Haha yes, I dont come across many funny sigs... Once i had some thing that said "Dont judge someone until you walk a mile in their shoes, hat way when you judge them you will have their shoes and they will be a mile away!"

Today I realized that you can lock a locked lock in a locker with a lock that is locked.

Firefox supports animated pngs with no modifications. It uses them for the loading icons in the tabs along the top.

My sig got deleted because I stuck Jimmy's campain image in and it made it too large Now I can't remember what my sig was! Oh yeah it was DarkNOOBS!
I'm glad this forum has a small limit to the size, some forums are stupid with people quoting whole frigging conversations that aren't even funny!
