Hi, Sorry for this somewhat off-topic subject which I'm not sure where to post - I've FUT to off-topic.geek. I've recently uploaded PNG file format pictures (Photoshop generated) to BS for the first time (I was used with JPGs). The upload has worked (...) (18 years ago, 16-Oct-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yes, I have QT installed but IE does not launch it when I click the pictures deep links. I guess all this comes from the png file format, the way Photoshop record them (how it manages transparencies for instance) and the way viewers recognize (...)

(...) ok. Sorry for the trouble. ...and I finally understand the problem. IE (even the most recent version) is not supporting PNG alpha-channel transparenciy. (but firefox, mozilla...do :-) ) For those who'd enjoy geek stuff, check (URL) you for (...) (18 years ago, 16-Oct-06, to lugnet.general)
