Another suggestion:
It would be nice to be able to use PNG's translucent ability in Avatar's. Unfortuantly the limitation of IE 6 and earlier ruins this...
I suggest using this when a member is using a PNG image as their avatar and viewer is currently using IE 6 or earlier:
<img src="./style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/spacer.gif" style="filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='THE_IMAGE.PNG');" ... />
And for anything else:
<img src="THE_IMAGE.PNG" ... />
The "..." represents anything else that's supposed to be in there. The effect makes the png image translucency work in IE 6 or earlier
!If not add this by default for PNG images and for viewers using IE, maybe a check-box option when picking your avatar
.NOTE: The ./ isnt needed. I put it there because the board is replacing it with the invision url...
