This isn't a bug. This is due to Internet Explorer version 6 not supporting PNG files. You'll need to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 or use a different browser than IE.

Microsoft was about 15 years behind in support for PNG's in IE, which was only introduced with IE7.

However, Web Wiz Forums will identify the browser you are using and show GIF images for those using IE6 or below.
