When I install this the images disappear completely:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

You have to precise the size (width and height) of the reply button. That's all.

So this does not affect server load, correct? I have kind of a busy forum and don't want to lag the complete machine.

Extremely slow for pages especially when it is needed several times such as with "Png Rounded Quotes (PRQ) version 3.00 - Valid XHTML 1.0" at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94430 If the plugin is disabled in the plugin manager pages load normally fast. When this plugin is enabled it takes forever for pages to load.

Also to note, tried the js hack and it did not work at all. This hack did work however is extremely resource needy.

If it helps server running on is dual xeon 2.4 ghz, 1 gb ram, etc, etc. with hardly any previous load on it. The forums were also turned off with no current visitors. The reason I am adding this info is to help point out that there is a problem here with this hack.

UHM, wtf is everyone ignoreing this CRITICAL comment??

solution to all your problems right there, if true. just convert your png to 8bit!!

Well in a 8 bit png picture, you will loose the alpha transparency and the result will be similar as a gif transparency picture. If the solution was such simple, developers wouldn't spend so much time to find a way to make transparency works well with IE. Any way IE7 fixes the problem.

I don't think this hack is intensive for the server, but it is for IE on YOUR computer.

how do I UNinstall this?

just delete the plugin?

Yes, that's it.

Any chance to make it work with plugin accelerator hack ?

in vb 3.6.x this modification is causing display errors of png images.
which means that in many forums pngs are NOT displayed everytime.
