Amy: I've tried to do transparent thing too, but, I didn't save it as gif and it didn't work. Do you have the pic on your desktop as it being transparent?? if you do could you send it to me on aim? I can try something if you want..

Mine sig is big too, you can use adobe to lower the resolution, which all it does is makes the image smaller, but not really how it looks. Atleast I don't notice any diff?? Mine seems to take a while to load on mine, and I have dsl too, but amy, yours loaded really fast for me..lol!
