Is there a way of uploading transparent images to the forums, and having them stay transparent? It seems directly uploading a transparent PNG will immediately convert it to a JPG. Linking to an imgur or other external image seems to work at first, but eventually it gets converted to a JPG hosted on…

Hi Sen; I’m no expert but - Our forum is Discord based, so the same core rules apply here, as there. Discord seems currently to convert uploaded PNG files to the JPG format - even though the transparency may be present when the upload is made. A quick check with Google returned a lot of folks ask…

I hate to be picky, but I think you mean “Discourse” instead of “Discord”.

Please be picky, Qia! It is a route to learning! I was basing my information on This post , which begins ‘ThunderED is a perfect EVE community management platform based on Discord as the main communication platform.’ EDIT: I traced the post I half-remembered reading. Not my area of expertise, so I …

Discourse is a platform for hosting forums on the internet. Their homepage even lists CCP as a user with a screen shot of the forum. (At least at the time I visited it. It could be a randomized list on the front page and I wouldn’t know, having visited it only this once.) [image] Discou…

Hi Qia, no; you did perfectly well! I’m happy to be corrected, and grateful to you for your detailed clarification. Hopefully the OP will now be able to track down that solution!

I’m unable to recreate this. When i hit Upload and select my image, it immediately gets converted to a JPG (as I said in the OP) I wonder if it has something to do with image size…

Hi Sen, below is (I hope) an image of an iPhone outline which I downloaded free from a website and uploaded into this post by clicking the ‘upload’ icon in the bar above. If I click ‘reply’ and it doesn’t work - it’s back to the drawing board! EDIT: It’s a transparency in PNG format. [5cb0633d80f…

I’ve done a little digging and the issue here could be any number of things that depend on the specific settings whoever is in control of this specific instance of Discourse has set, but most likely it has to do with resizing the image and transparency of the resized image being disabled or poorly c…

Thank you - I’ll explore the idea of image size being the issue

You have to upload it every single time anew. If you just copy it or the link from a previous upload, it turns non-transparent. If I copied the star below it would get a black square background.
