I'm new here, so I don't know if this has been addressed or not, but I
uploaded a couple of and they came back saying that I couldn't have a
white background, and they must be transparent. The thing is, they
were. The problem is that IE can't handle trasparent PNG's, and I use
Firefoxso it slipped my mind. needless to say I had to edit each of my
files to convert them to transparent GIF files. Not too much of a big
deal, but one hell of a nuissabce. On another forum I go to, the
administrator managed to set up a special tag for PNG files so that
they would display properly in IE, and eventually made it automatic.
I'm just saying that you might want to look up the PHP (at least I think he used PHP) functions that
allow IE to handle PNG files properly so that people like me can use
their preferred format.

You will have to pm Luke (sedgemonkey). He is an amazing programmer, so he will know how to do it, it's just a matter if he thinks it would be a good idea or not. It would kinda just be a waste of time. I meen, it takes 2 seconds to convert a .png or .bmp to a .gif, so it is kind of pointless taking the time to program the png feature onto the main site.

For every second spent wondering if you can do something, you could spend 2 seconds doing it.

Ya, but using PNG has become a habit for me, and for me to save it as a
gif, it's kinda roundabout. Also PNG's allow partial tranparency, which
is good cuz it allows the image to blend more into the background.

I hate to sound like I'm being dismissive, but the VAAAAAST majority of pixel joint visitors (and internet users in general) are using Internet Explorer. I'm not familiar with any code that fixes the IE/PNG transparency issue, but I would certainly be open to it if you send me some info. Btw, PNG-8 will show transparency in IE -- it's just PNG-24 that does not show up. |

Here you go ^_^ Javascript, easier I guess (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/pnghowto.htm) and the actual way to fix it according to microsoft (http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/pngbehavior/pngbehavior.html) Hope that helps. |
