try using the Save For Web option. you may have to lower the quality a bit, it should definitely get down to >10kb.

It should be harder for the banner to get "stale" now

Can you make the pics display the filename when you put the mouse over it. That way everyone can see who the pics are from.
btw I resized mine in ms paint. about 8kb.

To much, just a touch to much.
So far I have received about 3 submissions of wrong sized pics.
If you do not see your rig up there, you know why.
The script will not resize your pics for you.
They MUST be sized at 133x100 to work.
A free tool to use is Microsoft's Powertoys "Image Resizer."

I used it on mine this morning, and it can do all at once.

So lemme share that 133x100 is the same ratio as the standard sizes. If your pics are cropped to anything else, then you'll have to play a bit with the source file (like recropping, padding the edges, etc.) to get the ratio correct.
Awesome work you guys...
THANK YOU!

There's plenty of image savvy people on here, so if you can't figure out how to resize or compress pictures to meet the requirements, give a shout and I am betting someone will help you out.
I am playing with a script that will do it for you upon submission, but it can't really crop an image to make it look right. All it can do is mash an image to meet the requirements. If the ratio is different, it's going to look like hell...
i love the homer pic!

Want to say thank you for all involved in getting this running. By far, one of the, if not the coolest thing we've done here.
I'll be getting some pics ready in the following days.
