My png banner isn't transparent when it should be???

Okay, I have a PNG file with a TRANSPARENT background. Here it is:

I set that as my logo image but it's not showing up as transparent?

My forum: http://shiningepiphany.users-board.net/forum.htm

Any ideas on how to fix this???

Did you use cooltext graphics generator?

I used Gimp 2 to make the banner, if that's what you are referring to.

Did you merge all the layers down?

The problem is with the image. The flare is too big and it goes off the image.

This happen for me too, so i just tried to delete the white color and it works again

do you use photoshop?
when you save you should select also an option:

• Original
  
• Simple

Select original!

I believe so.

How would that cause a problem with the transparent part of the image? I don't care if the flare is cut off, I just want the dark colors to blend together.

What do you mean? My image is already transparent.

I used Gimp to create the logo.

well if the flare is cut of the image will abruptly end causing that problem. It's just bad image editing, it's not Forumotion's fault.
