    THats just the way it looks when you use a transparent background for an avatar. The only way to fix it is to add the forum background color onto the background.

    Pending player.

    You'd better ask a GFX member, I do not really recognize the code atm.

    For another choice you can screenshot a transparent avatar, then use the tool that copies the color and paste it around your render, hope this helps.

    I understood about 90% the problem is PhotoShop is too hard to do this. Any other softwares/ways that can be used to do this?

    You can easily do that in paint.net or even regular paint but the render might get distorted, so I don't really know if you can do that.

    We aren't aware of the codes, try contacting a GFX member for making you the background color to forum color.

    I got what you meant, that it shows your profile picture on your profile in a white state, it's because it's not transparent, only admins and gfx members get to add transparent profile pictures on forums, so that's mostly impossible for you at the moment to change the profile picture with a transparent one.

    tldr; You have to be a gfx member or an admin to put transparent profile pictures in your profile.

    I cropped a bit of the forums background color, resized it to 200x200 pixels and then placed the transparent picture on it.

    So it's not possible?
    Some profiles aren't GFX or admin and got it transparent.
