Transparent Avatars

How do i make my avatar transparent? I've tried everything, .gif, .png, tried using links to the image, it's transparent on my desktop, but when i use it as an avatar on sythe it puts a white background on it.

 

Seems to be alright now. You might have to get a mod to set it.

 

You basically have to run it through Photoshop on a transparent layer. You can't do this in Paint I'm afraid. If you don't have Photoshop, or don't know how to do it, just PM me the image you want and I'll transparent it for you.
