A way to cheat and give an image the look of being transparent is to color the background with the grey/brown background color of the TEF Community site (or the color of whatever area of the site you want it to sit on). I've done this a few times and if you're careful, it will make the image look like it has no background.
Well, I am really confused if CSS is back or not... so, is it back?
Edit: How do I get the color of the background? Like, It's a bit hard to copy the color of the brownish-gray background, thats why I always used css to color it in black or any other color and then color the background in the same way.
I don't know but this blog has the email that M&A send in regards to the CSS issue. That should hold some answers, but I'm sure they won't mind explaining if you still have some concerns, just shoot them a post over on The Support Forum or e-mail them.
edit: I don't know, I remember someone posted the code for it...try using the search bar to find it, or perhaps use Google to locate a color-picker site that would allow you to get the color code. I've always just eye-balled the color myself.
on gimp to get a background transparent you right click on the layer of the picture and click add alpha channel and all you have to do is remove the background with the eraser or by clicking select by color select if the background is a color not on the picture it should show the little ant dots around the picture and all you have to do is cut you should get those grey squares where the background use to be and to keep it transparent you have to save it as a .png or the background will come out just white.
hope that helped i suck at explaining so if you don't get something just ask ^-^
