I give up.

If you have Photoshop: when saving your file, go to File > Save For Web. Then on the right, select JPEG as the file format. Move the quality slider around, and you should see the output file size change on the bottom-right picture. I just got a colorful and decently complex 350x150 image down to 5K, if the setting is 0. Move it up until it just hits 10K in size.

That's exactly what I did. Still, 12kb to the lowest quality.
If someone could give it a shot, i would be soo thankful:

I did something similar. My sig was already below the size limit, but it was 25K. If you take out some of the effects and reduce the pixels more than it already is [even if it's already smaller than the limit], it should reduce your size without making all grainy. It's the brushes and text effects that really fuck you.

Save for Web is your best friend when it comes to filesize.

Oh, thanks for the tips, midnight_mesektet! And for the image, Machinehead!
The brushes thing really sucks :~

I guess I rather work on a smaller (it's going to be like.. an avatar) but still "visible" image

Thanks so much for the help!

nope even setting the new width and height limits, and downing my quality to 1 when saving my sig, i'm still over the 10kb limit. 20 kb would easier to do but if the board now calls for 10kb then i guess there's no more sig for a good number of us having the same problem. oh well.

edit: nevermind, i got it down to size and everything. thanks for the save to the web tip

but now, why isn't it showing?

If you mean why isn't it showing in the post above it's because the option to display signature was turned off when you originally made the post because you didn't have a signature. Edit the post and goto the Advanced Edit page and turn it on there. (All new posts should automatically have the signature).
