Title: Avatars not showing under IE6 and IE7
Post by: Laibeus Lord on November 22, 2006, 11:54:25 PM
Avatars hosted/uploaded to the forum server do not show up under IE6(seldom) and IE7(always).

This is the link that shows:
http://boards.laibcoms.com/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=7;type=avatar

another example:
http://boards.laibcoms.com/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=8;type=avatar


They show fine under Safari and Firefox2 and Firefox3 (alpha).

I was able to test it under IE for Mac, it doesn't show too, just like IE7, always no avatar.


Hope that helps... (see IE is very evil :p  )

just an update, found out why, IE7's support for PNG has changed, I didn't read much, but it really is the main cause why certain avatars do not show up under IE7... only .png files are affected.

Force everyone to switch to FireFox 2 then...

Interesting...

I read the site you mentioned and it is funny how the author said that IE7 is reportedly "fixed" the problem of IE5.5 and IE6.

From my experience, there is no PNG rendering problems with IE5.5 and IE6, and IE7 introduced the problem.  So it's really weird...
