If you use an Internet Explorer version prior to IE 7.0 Beta, a bug in IE hurts IE's display of alpha transparency. This makes a lot of images with transparent backgrounds look bad. To fix this, copy and paste this code into User:YOURUSERNAMEHERE/monobook.js, replacing YOURUSERNAMEHERE by your actual username in your browser's Address bar at the top.
