I've noticed this over the last month or so, and as a result it's also had me going "where the hell is the new post button!?".

It's not just when embedding them in the page though - even if I try to view the image for "has new posts" / "new thread", IE doesn't like it. I also get similar results on another website I visit (f1-live).

For those thinking it's related to IE7, I have no reason to believe it's that, because this was happening before installing it as well. What's causing it though I don't know - just all of a sudden one day it stopped displaying certain PNGs! I also don't think it's a problem with the QGL site, just IE. But I'm hoping MAYBE someone's seen this before, and has some solutions/suggestions.

So... any ideas?

By "new post" do you mean "new thread" button? Because I could see it just fine:

Also, I'm using Firefox

How did you make this thread!?!!

also, my button is there just fine

what relaod said.

if you can't see it, how did you click it?

you'd be good and pin the tail on the donkey!

He can't see the PNG images, I guess he could post because he move the mouse over the area where the new thread button would be and just read off the URL in the status bar/mouse pointer change shape.

I have heard some PNG problem when you installed IE 7 (or even IE 6) - pehaps your PNG lib on your PC is borked?

Google seems to suggest this is a know problem

fine in up-to-date xp sp2 ie6 for me

Yeah... the images are still there with placeholders and links - hence, I can click the placeholder... but the images just don't get drawn.

That google search isn't realy helpful on this topic Opec - that deals with the lack of PNG Translucency support, but not it not displaying certain PNGs at all.

Tabbed IE? Smells like hax to me.

Khel, it's IE7. I hated it at first, but I've grown used to it. Oh, and it doesnt suck like firefox... target="_blank" actually opens a new tab, not a new window!

So you're complaining because a web browser which isn't even in open beta yet is buggy? What do you expect?

Also, my firefox opens target="_blank" in a new tab, so I dont get what the problem is. Maybe it doesn't do it by default, I wouldn't know cos the first thing I did was change the options to make everything open in new tabs instead of new windows.

Sif you wouldn't just middle click links anyway.

Its a sign, Raven.

khel, did you skip reading this part? "For those thinking it's related to IE7, I have no reason to believe it's that, because this was happening before installing it as well."

use firefox. it will fix your problem :)

Oh, guess I should have read the whole thing, but IE is still gay and stuff, so, like, I win.

you have much to learn about web browsing, padiwan
