Avatar has black background
-
I’m wondering why my avatar image has a black background on WP and not others?
-
The background is actually transparent. Some sites default to using white, while others use black. One way to fix it is to open the avatar picture in a picture editing program (MS-Paint, Gimp, etc.) and fill in the background with whatever color you want.
-
when you upload your avatar here, wordpress automattically resizes it. when it does so, it loses any transparency. you’ll have to do as judy says, and add a white background to your avatar.

even if wordpress.com were saving them out as *.png’s or *.gif’s, i’ve never seen a GD script that could maintain transparency.
