I've created 2 Donnie PNG avatars, so the background matches the the forum and isn't white.
This one:

works fine.
However this one:

works when posted like this, but as my avatar is still white.

What do I need to do to fix this?

I cheat, I make the avatar background the color of the panel that houses our user ID. Transparencies seem to be hit or miss.
Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Dunno. One of the benefits to making the gray background is you don't have any ugly white pixels.

Thought about that, actually. :D

Went the colored background route. Still some white pixels, because I suck either way . :P

It looks like you got it changed, but I would guess the problem was that the forum was resizing the avatar (it is only slightly too big), which threw off the transparency.

Funny thing is, it seems if I upload straight from my PC PNG files don't work (possible the resizing) but when uploaded to my Photobucket account, they're ok. I may double check dimensions, though.
EDIT: Bing bing bing, it was being resized. it was all of 2 pixels too big. :P

I was debating sticking with one or the other. Was gonna post for reactions here, but then just decided to go with it. :P

I also debated using the snarly Donnie with Raph, but this just melded better.
