ok. im making a forum icon... and it is a weird shape.. how do i get it so i dont see the white background? I saved it as a .png and it still showed an ulgy background, i put a transparent background and saved as .jpeg and it has a white background on the forum..
Yes. PNGs are using Alpha-transparency, which the older versions of IE doesn't support. I suggest trying Firefox or Opera.
When you put it on a transparant bg you gottasave as png or gif, if you just save as jpg it will automatically generate a white bg.
