Title: Pedobear and Joker transparency issue Post by: eldaec on August 18, 2008, 10:47:05 AM Are the relevant authorities aware that the pedobear and joker smilies are broken in IE6?
:pedobear: :why_so_serious: They both show up with a background colour where they should be transparent (light blue on this PC). Seemed to work fine on Firefox & IE7 at the weekend.

Actually, I'm using Avant as a shell around IE6, which is why I've felt no need to upgrade, everything IE7 woud do, Avant does better. I'd use Firefox more but I've gotten *really* used to URL aliasing for search and reference sites, and Firefox frequently breaks on commercial sites because I over-ride the font sizes.

This is because IE 6 (and earlier) doesn't fricking support alpha transparency in PNGs.
