This is only occuring under Internet Explorer, but any PNG files I use as icons etc under FUDForum 2.6RC10 are refusing to display. They are definitely in the page source, and if I refer to them directly with IE by http://website.com/forums/images/forum_icons/blah.png for instance, then I.E. is capable of viewing them, but when part of the Forum page they do not render. This is only PNGs, and not GIFs.

Make sure your JavaScript is enabled and working properly.

OK, I wasn't clear.

This isn't happening on just one person's copy of Internet Explorer, but happened simultaneously for every single user of IE that comes to the instance of the boards in question. I've got at least 4 seperate users complaining about it, and for me, it happens on two seperate test machines of mine running IE.

Did it work correctly with previous RC?
Are you using a custom theme?

The PNGs had been working on the boards for the better part of a year, at least since 2.0 days.

I just yanked the bit of Javascript you included from youngpup to make the alpha channel "work" for IE, and all the old forum icons became visible. Of course, the "new message/no new message" icons now don't have transparent backgrounds...

My forum icons DO have transparent backgrounds however, since I'm pretty sure they were built with the "transparent pallet selection" (like GIFs do, since I used Photoshop 6 (initially then 7) to make them rather than using the alpha layer.

If I understand you correctly you are not using the default forum PNGs but rather some you've made yourself? If that is correct could you include 1 or two of these images (attach them) so I may try to replicate the problem with those images.

I have tested the Alpha channel code in IE 6.0 and it did work properly with forum icons. So, I am uncertain why this suddenly happening.
