Testing. :D

Hi JeanGuy, your filename should end in a .jpg or .bmp to work

How do you resize the image because this looks to big?

800 width is OK for forums Ace; Keep an eye on the size (kBytes)too though if you want to use it as a sig - some forums have strict rules about this to protect ppl with a slow connection - It's not much fun if they have to wait half an hour for a page to appear ;)
If you want it smaller, use Irfan View, Photoshop, Paintshop Pro (better than Photoshop in resizing), or any other graphics package to resize

I thought it would look good because of my username. There I made it a little small and tried to focus on the idea of the wording. In this case me blasting a FW190 out of the sky. :smt066

Looking OK - just a pity not a trace of the FW is to be seen anymore...
If it's to be a sig I would consider making it a bit smaller, move the text partly out the picture (transparent), take a new screenshot without the speedbar/system messages, and convert it to PNG format. PNG has 256 alpha channel transparency (see my MM avatar for an example ;)
That would instantly make it more noticeable. Just a few thoughts.
