Some Info:
If you usually use Photoshop then at this point you may well be thinking "What's this PNG32 thing?". Well basically PNG32 is PNG24 but with support for full alpha transparency. This means you can have varying degrees of transparency for each pixel, whereas GIFs can only have transparency turned on or off for each pixel. Therefore, when placed on complex or ill-matching backgrounds, transparent PNGs will have nice smooth edges.

What I've noticed some time ago, is when you upload .png avatars to a MyBB forum, the transparent part will become black.
If you although, upload your .png avatar to a host, such as www.photobucket.com the transparent area is also transparent and not black.
Not sure, if that's the case only for me though Oo

That is the same problem Notorious Mental had. If you read the previous page you will see what the problem actually is

That's because mybb resizes the images and that's where the problem occurs.
