    Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong but I've had a couple of probs with .pngs in IE, especially in AW.

    When I upload .png's in here, I get an ugly blue background. So I change the file to a .gif. With the current problem with .jpegs, .gifs are probably the best alternative.

    This is what I get for png:

    This is gif:

    With graphics as small as these, the image quality is barely noticeable. With larger images, you may have to sacrifice quality for the transparent background.
