Long story short, and this link backs me up a bit, is that .JPEG is no good for transparent images. JPEG is for a bit more low-res images that don't take up too much space since they don't require as much rotta rotta as other file types while you would rather use .PNG for transparency (Note: The armor images I converted/uploaded) but with the side effect of higher file sizes.

I actually learned that in school. o_o;
