    When I use almost any search engine certain terms dont work. Exmaple The D.O.C, the word the searches for anyhting with "The" even if it has nothing to do with what I am saying. DOC is leters I sumtimes get results such as "DOC Walker." Dr. Dre doesnt work either sometimes as Dr. is agnores either cuz of the space or period...

    Especially on [bold]removed[/bold]

    MP3 S Hits also wont take 2Pac or 50 Cent [One or the other can't remember]

    Wat to do?? I try typing in specific song names but If I am not looking for anysong in particular...

    sorry about double-posting but how do you compress a sig image w/animation effects to fit with the AD requirements?

    cause i made one and it weighed about 80752 bytes and some mods said it was inappropriate

    if you can explain to me on how to adjust the size of the image up-to 50781 bytes, i would be grateful. thanx

    you are 50,440 on the top & 44,265 bytes on the bottom.

    2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall

    4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

    so what do you think??!!
