Implemented Support for transparency with Avatars

[Dragapult]

I've noticed that if you try to upload an Avatar with transparency, the transparent pixels get replaced with black. This happens from time to time on other websites and I've never known why. But I do know that with most other board software, it's more than possible to have Avatars with transparent pixels.

i think gd kills them with the resizing.
does imagemagick?

GD does have support for transparency though: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecolortransparent.php

Interesting. Perhaps a future version of XenForo could support this?

I think the first final release of XenForo should support transparency in avatars. I happen to like that.

Is the avatar in question a PNG? Because then you'd need alpha channel support.

The Avatar I use is a .png, yes, but it seems that any type of image format with transparent pixels gets converted to black upon being uploaded here.

I'd like to see support for transparency as well.

There's a thread about this already here http://xenforo.com/community/threads/transparency-turns-black.251/

Example is my avatar, it was transperent. +1 for this suggestion, it's a must.

Couldn't find that thread, sorry. I searched for "transparency" and nothing came up, so I must have done something wrong.

This is a very important feature to have.
