+the Seagnoid Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Does any know why-oh-why GC strips transparency off png and gif image formats? Does anyone know a way I can get an image with transparent regions on a cache page (eg an html method to make white pixels of an image transparent)?

You'll need to use one of the approved hosting sites (see this Help Centre page) for your images to do what you want. 1 Quote Link to comment

Is it wrong that as a professional web developer this still really gets my knickers in a twist after all these years? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately, it isn't the only way the geocaching.com site breaks basic web functionality. Quote Link to comment
