    This is my uploaded avatar to dev.bukkit.org: http://dev.bukkit.org/media/avatars/31/777/newavatar2.0_large.png

    Yet, it puts this ugly as hell #007f00 background behind it. It looked nice, but you killed it. If you want to set a background, do a white one or something that *blends in*.

    Offending Code:


    Code:
    .avatar-author {
    border-color: #007f00;
    background: #007f00;
    }
    Related Suggestion:
    Host these images on a CDN. I'm surprised Curse hasn't mandated Akamai yet. You could also use S3/CloudFront or NetDNA.

    Upload a version with no transparency.

    Why is that color there? It shouldn't be.

    There shouldn't be a need for a user to have to change the transparency so an ugly color is hidden.

    Thanks, didn't see that. Oops :)

    The colour's supposed to be there to provide a visual distinction on what type of user you are, mostly for staff.

    I'm going to point out that even though, yes, it does look hideous, getting it changed in an acceptable way would take a very long time so I strongly suggest that you just upload a no-transparency version of your avatar.

    FTR (open)

    Code:css
    1. .avatar-author {
    2. background: none;
    3. padding: 0;
    4. }
    5. .avatar-author img {
    6. border: 3px solid #007f00;
    7. }
    8. /* and similar for all the other statuses... D: */

    Ok, I guess. Could you elaborate on why it would take a while?

    Thanks for the response :)
