I'd make the 'do not ride the bomb' transparent, but unfortunately, I can't do that atm - You are free to remove it from the challenge. ;)

Good job switching dpixel :)

Not to swing any votes here, but Metaru's piece is really something.

Ok.  I'm on Firefox now.  Everything is transparent.  I thought I was loosing my mind there.  lol

Thanks jal

Well there are many browser options now. Safari, SeaMonkey, Opera, etc. Seems most PJ users use Firefox. I like Firefox because it has 'chatzilla' which makes getting on the PJ IRC channel easy.

I used to use Firefox a few years ago and found it annoying.  It wouldn't allow me to go to certain sites, etc.  Has it got better?

IE is very 20th Century, move on to Firefox already ;)

*Your IE setting have 'borders' set to images that link.

After googling around I found that apparently there's a png transparency issue with IE versions 5 and 6 and all those entries are png files.  I'll upgade to another version or switch browsers all together. 

Funny cuz I usually see a lot of boxes around art here when I know it's frowned upon unless it serves a purpose.  Hey you learn something every day.

Yes IE 6.  Is that bad?  lol

EDIT:  I just loaded a couple into graphicsgale and in fact there is transparency.  That is weird.  Must be my browser.   Sorry for my accusations. 

I just switched to Pure Joy and see no boxes or BGs, wierd.

What browser are you using? Not IE, I hope.

I just see some white and blue boxes.  I thought transparency was no boxes. Maybe it's the theme 'Pure Joy' I'm using.  I don't know.

EDIT:  I'm I the only one seeing this?

What are you guys talking about?

The preview files have BGs but not the art, this is fine.

These are the 8:

Sure they don't have backgrounds, but they are not transparent. 

I do not know how you get to 8 as there is only 1 I believe. However, still it has to be removed. Or squirrel will get 2 medals for 1 entry :/

I agree with jal. So many good entries, so few votes.

Some weeks having only 3 votes is a nightmare :|

Definitly some stiff competition this week. Good luck to everyone.

Why are there 8 entries without a transparent background?  Transparency was required I thought.

Four really standout entries this week. Makes it interesting on which one will miss out on the top 3!

should be removed from the voting asap. imo.

http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/43765.htm is not yet fixed, but in the voting?

I would have never imagined such a massive amount of entries, and so many great ones at that.

Definitely another tough vote, good work everyone, and kudos to those using this challenge to start out.
