    Have u tried the following?

    Please make sure that when you are submitting your faction icon for review, it is more likely that we will approve your submission if they adhere to the following guidelines:



    1) The image must be sent in as a 24 bit or 32 bit BMP format and must be 16*16 pixels with a RGB color mode.

    2) If you would like it as a transparent back ground please make sure your Alpha Channel (Transparency Control Channel) is correct.

    Add an Alpha-channel to your image (using Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel)
    Select the Eraser-tool Eraser Tool and erase what you'd like to get rid of or use the magic wand.

    I have just tried to add an Alpha Channel, without succes. There is no such option exsisting. What Photoshop-version are you using? And how can people do it that don't have Photoshop?

    When I save my image I can see under the saving option Alpha Channel, but i can't check it's checkbox.

    Well, basically, they are asking exactely for a FAVICON. 16x16... You can make your own favicon with different free online favicon creaters. Noone needs to photoshop anything that way. .bmp is about one of the bulkiest fileformats that is exsisting.. I don't understand why they aren't just telling us to use a random favicon maker you can easily find online. They also offer transparancy.. Its basically giving everything you need to make a cool guildbanner. Its a mystery to me why they aren't able to implement those, and now players have to start debating about how to do it and buy photoshop or what?
    I made mine with a favicon maker, and i don't know whether I should send them that, if it's gonna work when I convert it to .bmp. Do I need this Alpha Channel so they can implement the transparancy? I'm sure its really easier if they would just implement the .ico, and give a few link in the internet where to create your own favicon. I know one where you can convert a photo into 16x16 even. I mean, everyone is using .ico nowadays, at least on the internet.

    I'm sorry I can't reall help you since I appear to have the same problem. I'd just like to know if someone else send them an .ico file and had no trouble with them implementing such?

    I agree with the above. DL gimp to remove the alpha channel. Its much more complicated to do in PS (PS#1 ^_~). I have Gimp for that one and only reason. Oh can you upload the image I wanna see this creativity (Graphic Design major in me >_<)
