looks pretty nice.however, i'd probably put a star or something where you're city's located on that map of newfoundland.

Thanks man! that's a great idea but I think I'll pass.
 
When you mensioned the star I though of the similarity to Manson's map. My signature change could be misinterperpted as retalation for not including Newfoundland on his map. Nothing was further from my mind. I'm sure he will include it when he can. I was just board and had nothing better to do.

Thanks! I really like your's in grayscale. I was limited to what I could use as a background colour since the car was parked on sand. What do you think mine looks like in greyscale?

in my opinion anything looks great greyscale! add a little sepia and it's instant vintage effect.

and you're never limited to using a certain background coloured background.. if you want a white background on your grayscale image now.. just outline your cougar with the selection tool.. reverse the selection and adjust the brightness/contrast.

as for posting a sig like this.. you upload it to some website and link to the image using an [IMG] tag under the User CP (control panel) in the signatures section.

Can someone tell me how long it takes my new sig to download over 56K modem? Imageready is telling me 90 seconds. Is it taking too long?

YES!

At least with Bird351's (588k) and 88SptCoupe's (only 168k), there's are located on "named" servers, so I could block them in my Hosts file and only see a little red "X", but as yours is on a numeric site (205.251.38.82:8080), there's no way to stop it from downloading other than stopping the whole page.

And remember; a 56k modem doesn't mean a 56k connection.
Right now I'm only at 45,333 which means it takes even longer.
