I replied to your email help request separately since you posted error message details there and I'd like to look more into your account specifics.

I'm super surprised that in the case of wanting to PURCHASE something, everyone seems to have disappeared!

I haven't been able to get it to go through, and no one from support has replied to my messages... so I guess no one wants my money, how sad.

I'm using the coupon code that was given to some of us after the password security issue, and I can't tell if the coupon code is causing the problems or what. I've tried multiple credit cards, so I don't think it's my end.

I'm also wondering why it won't let me add multiple things to the shopping cart... i.e. a Premium theme and No-Ads.

... frustrated...

I was debating weather I liked having captions or not anyway, so this is good news.

Thanks again!

The first one had a less than perfect job done of cutting it out from the background. The other two are clean.

The faint white you are seeing around the image is due to the caption. If you do not use captions, that will go away. Each theme borders and handles captions differently. In some the background put behind the image and caption is even more pronounced.

To get ride of the background the theme puts in when captions are used, you would have to have the CSS upgrade and some CSS editing experience.

I would still like to know, though, in case I change my theme to something without a white background.

If the image is going into a post, and the image is resized by wordpress, then the transparency is stripped out. You have to prepare the image for the exact size that is being inserted into the post or wherever or it will not retain the transparency.

1) I use GIMP 2.6 to make an image's background transparent, and then I save it as a .png.
2) I then insert it into my post
3) I go to look at my post, and although it's faint, I can still see the image outline. (If I change my theme there is a white box around my images).

Why won't wordpress recognize my images as having a transparent background?

I have zero experience with Flickr staff, but I know WordPress.com staff well, and it doesn't matter to them if you have billions of posts in the forum. Contact them directly if you want to move this forward.

I'd be VERY surprised if Flickr supplied an RSS feed or hotlinking capabilities for private photos; sort of defeats the entire purpose. In fact, it doesn't, in order to protect your privacy.
