BF2S Forums What's with the white around the text?

The white around the letters is a slightly grayish shade of white.  I know that when I create something in 65,000 colors and then to create the gif the system has to reduce the color palette to 256 colors ... and it messes up my transparent backgrounds.

So what do I do to fix it?

Also, the sig is acceptable, rules-wise? I know you guys hate torrents here..

You can do two things ... either put your background to match the BF2s background color ... or work in 256 colors rather than 65K.

As for the sig, it is borderline ... I didn't remove it but another mod may very well remove it.  Torrents can be a good source of downloading legal stuff ... so, I would prefer that you show downloading something less pirated.  Say, a Betty Bop cartoon.

Also, you need to reduce the height of your sig graphic to 25 pixels if you are keeping a line of text.
