Are the relevant authorities aware that the pedobear and joker smilies are broken in IE6?

 this guy looks legit 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.



As you can imagine, witnessing smilies with a non-transparent background is the sort of thing that mentally scars a person for life. I want a refund.

If that one does not work, try one of these:

Are you aware that IE6 accounts for about 10% total of the page views on the forums. >_>

Also, who the motherfuck is either working at Microsoft or has an in? We have SOMEONE using IE 8.0.

I think I'm using IE6.  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.

God, I'm trying to come up with some explanation for why I'd want to beta a Microsoft web browser and I just can't come up with one. Stapling my inner thigh skin to the floor might be a more wortwhile endeavour.

I figured it was purely to let all teh l33t hax0rz have first crack, as it were, at it.

Though, it probably is really there for all the big businesses and their various apps to try it and see what breaks.  If I were still doing web dev I would have it installed just to make sure they didn't fuck anything up find out what they fucked up in my legacy stuff.

This is because IE 6 (and earlier) doesn't fricking support alpha transparency in PNGs. Why somebody made those as PNGs instead of GIFs is another matter.

There is a fix for it. But, yeah, 7+ supports them correctly.
