i have a question ... why are all of these new sigs, that have a render extending beyond the border, surrounded by a blue-ish color?

i realize that saving them as a jpg keeps the quality, but blue is not the color of the posting background here ... right?

That is because they are using firefox and being cocks by saving them as .pngs which shows up as blue for us IE users (Which im guessing your using?)

It would be much easier if people stuck to using the .gif format if you ask me because they look wrong with the blue around them and really does spoil them.

yeah that makes sense. people need to understand that PNGs only eliminate the background when opened in photoshop.
