Hm, in that case I have no idea what the problem is. Just thought it might be that as its a pretty common mistake, atleast for me.

Well two things come to mind....

Try shrink the height down to under 200px, maybe it will accept it?

Instead of uploading it to the forum, consider uploading it to a service like imageshack and linking it from there. I do this all the time.

Here is a high fidelity jpg at 90% of original

and 75%..I suspect one of them will work. Try to use something that doesn't degrade the jpg too much when you save after adding text....ie...don't use MSPaint.

Ok, I am going to ask on bended knee for a cool sig pic. I am hopeless with a computer. Can anyone help me out?

I would like to do one for Gramps. I am "Pacific War Veteran Fanboy", and he is "1st Lt. Mel Janssen, 41st Inf Div". I want to somehow maybe use his photo (attached), and a Piper Cub. He was a piper cub pilot. He died recently, but I think a fitting tribute to honor veterans past and present who serve.

(The picture doesn't have Lt. Bars because it's his ROTC uniform from U of I; he was Lt. Col. in ROTC).

Any help at all appreciated!

You can used the link to that image to put it in your sig.

Copy that into your signature box in your profile and take the spaces from inside the brackets.

Actually Cap, that's pretty cool too, except for the part. But I'll stick with Rogueusmc.

I am amazed at the response from both of you! A race to help me out? I am very grateful for the constant help on this forum.

THANK YOU BOTH, Cap and Rogue![&o][&o][&o][&o]
