[edit] Body Kit Pattern Rendering Problem in IE

The "_stripesandshouldersonwhite" body pattern is not rendering color in Internet Explorer browsers.

For example, the template code "pattern_b1 = _stripesandshouldersonwhite | body1 = 2662BC" is not rendering the stripes and the shoulder line in soft blue color, like it was supposed to, appearing gray instead.

The problem lies with alpha channel transparency, which causes rendering problems in IE. [1]

Suggested fix is using 8-bit palette indexed transparency.

Some players were released after the official presentation on 7 August 2004 at the Estádio do Dragão, and others moved in or out at the January transfer window, yet others are on the move to another clubs on the start of the 2005/06 season.

[edit] Name change

Does anyone have a problem if I change the title to FC Porto or F.C. Porto? This club is known in English by FC Porto (Ef Cee Porto), and that's the title of every club you can find, except from Sporting Clube de Portugal which is the name chosen by the club to be used by UEFA in official competitions. Give me feedback, please. Joaopais 23:25, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
