Yeah one blinkie/sig may be within the 25k limit but some people have several different pictures in one signature.

Maybe it's just my computer but even if the animation is small it takes twice the time to load than as just a regular pic.

It could just be Pet Talk in general (though I haven't had this problem before recently) because I can go to other websites and they do not load freakishly slow.

I feel bad that I haven't been able to see any of the pics posted, I love seeing pics of everyones pets.
