Funny... When I edited and saved it in CS4 it was a .png with transparent background and when I uploaded it, it was still a .png... ;-) Does the server software convert .png files to .jpg? If you would like to try it with my avatart you can download it here. pixelicious.at - my little photoblog ID: 10374 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 3 Jun 2009, 9:05:22 UTC Does the server software convert .png files to .jpg? Yes in fact it does. It does a rescaling for those larger than 100x100 and then generates a new JPEG file. We think that this way is safer for the older browsers... sorry, ignasi ID: 10409 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
