My signature was over the limit for a bit because I didn't think anyone really cared anymore (it didn't seem like it because there's a bajillion graphics in some people's sigs!)

However, even 1 or 2 signature graphics can go faarrr over the signature size limit - buckner's as an example (no offense) Her's is small and nice, but it's over the limit. I think 25KB is far too small to make a really nice signature. It makes it very low quality and choppy when reduced too much, even when specifically saved for the internet (an Adobe option)..

That said, i've NEVER had a problem with loading signatures, however, scrolling over a zillion pixels can get quite annoying when trying to read replies. I always try to remember to turn off my signature (By un-checking the box next to "Show signature" under where you type a reply.) so it doesn't show up a ton of times in one thread.
