I want to share this simple guide with you, for the actions in this guide you won't be needing any program such as Paint or Photoshop.
This will most likely help to people who recently got pmed by a Staff Member that their signature/avatar/profile image's weight is over the allowed weight.
To ensure that your sig/ava/profile images feets the forum's limits you can use this guide: Signature And Avatar Dimensions
There are a few sites that can help you reduce the weight of your sig/ava quite simple:TinyPNG: Use it if your image's type is .PNGhttp://tinypng.org/All you need to do is left click on "Drop your .PNG files here" and it will automaticly compress it to the minimum size possible.
GifWizard: Use it if your image's type is .GIFhttp://www.gifwizard.com/In this site you can either insert the link of your image (if its uploaded) nor upload it from your computer.
CompressJPG: Use it if your image's type is .JPG or .JPEGhttp://compressjpg.com/Here you can upload up to 20 Pictures at once (.BMP & .PNG are supported aswell, that will convers them into .JPG though)
After you uploaded, you can select an image from below and compress it with the + & - buttons
