MottS Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Hi I have no idea where that post is suppose to go .. I sometimes look at this forum from my job. We use IE to surf the web here. I have noticed that my uptime shows as a black strip below my avatar in IE. However, when I look at it from home (Konqueror - Linux or Safari - Mac), everything is fine .. no black strip below my avatar and I see my uptime without any problem. So my question is : How come I don't see my uptime in Windows and I see that black strip instead? Does IE support PNG images? .. because I convert my uptime to a PNG image. Any idea?

tyme Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 some browsers don't display PNG's right. As an example, I've noticed the older netscape (4.xx) likes to make the black in PNG's white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Well, I was expecting more 'quality' from M$ since we pay for it but that doesn't seems to be so Any way to solve it? .. other ther than asking to switch to Linux :lol: MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 IE bug.. What do you expect from a browser that crash whenever someone put a small piece of code in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 actually, i never see the avatars at all. phoenix 0.5. so it's not just crappy browsers :lol: (anyone know what i might have set weird?) check your profile http://www.mandrakeusers.org/profile.php?m...ode=editprofile you may have "view avatars" turned off Motts this is common, and known bug with IE, it doesn't fully support png's specifically transparent png's :-( if you really want to it to work with IE users then don't use png, use gif or jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could just forget about it. Actually I have that avatar (with the uptime thing) since about 6 months and it's like the second or third time I see it using IE.... haha. I was just really surprised to see that it doesn't appear at all. I'll try to convert to a gif or jpeg instead of png. Will see what will happen. Thanks for all your reply !! .. haha .. this is just an avatar after all. :P MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
