I've uploaded them and everything... there's just a little problem. White. My Forum is based upon black, but I want a transparent Background for my Images, not white or Black! How do I go about doing this? Thanks in advance, Nut

You need a graphics package like the GIMP (free) that can add an "alpha" channel.

Can I paste the image into it, and then colour the background in this alpha colour? (I believe I actually have The GIMP) Or will I have to do it manually? (Harder)

YOu can assign a color that will be the alpha channel. It is as a rule easy (once you know how).

Thanks, I'll try it. If it doesn't work, I'll post again. If it does... well I'll post again anyway. Thanks, Nut

Okay, this time, the trouble is not getting the image background to be transparent, but getting an Image Uploader that will link to an URL but also allows Xcf files, isn't Yahoo, and doesn't require a credit card. I've also tried just plain File Uploaders, but none of them seem to enable me to get a link to the Pictures by URL, out of the ones that work. Is there a File Sharing and Uploader that doesn't cost anything that will load my kind of file, or a kind of file I can change the Xcf file to that recgonises Transparentness? Thanks, Nut

Eh why do you need a file uploader, when you can email us the images in say zip file.

Email it? I guess I could, but I never knew of that. Also, even if I can email it to you, how would that help? If I'm the one running my forum then wouldn't I... Erm... Can you explain a bit more Please, I'm a bit dim sometimes. Thanks again, Nut

rank images are available to all forums, and hence have to be installed by us.

We could have made them unique to each forum, but I think sharing is nicer

Loads of people say we are good at support

I tend to think that it is more that other people are bad at support. If a question is asked, it will take the same time to answer if you answer now or in a day!

Oh, and when I meant that, I meant uploading them from an Image Host.

Erm, I mean that... Oh.. I'll start again. I used to upload the Rank Images by getting a direct image link through ImageShack, then putting the URL into the Link for adding a Rank Image into the Rank thing. But now, since I emailed you my Rank Pictures, and as long as you've done whatever it is you're meant to do, I don't know how to put them on. So how do I put them on?
