Yes, to participate in Trading Post and its subsections, you need to be at least Member (trust level 2).

In general, it is a good idea to read pinned topics in a particular section you want to post in.

Solved Edit:
I figured out that the.png file was too large and being converted to .jpeg. In order to upload a .png avatar/profile picture, the resolution needs to be 300px x 300px

I have a question about transparent avatars/profile .png images.

I’ve tried formatting my profile picture in different ways to make portions of it transparent as well as making sure the image has an alpha layer applied to the background. I’ve also tried to make the image in different pixel sizes but I cannot figure out how folks are formatting their .png files.

here are some examples:



The avatar I have now should be transparent below and above the eye lids.

Thanks for any assistance :v:
