Like he said, changed it to RGB if it's not already. in the layers toolbox,
right click on the layer and in the menu that comes up click "add alpha
channel". Then use the eraser tool on the area you want erased just to see
if it works.

I have a photograph of a black hexagon on a white background and I would
like to make the background transparent so that I can lay this onto
another image. I have tried and not made much progress and would be
grateful if some kind person could please point me in the right
direction.

As GIF is an indexed color format, gimp loads the gif in indexed color format. This

shows the image with transparent background when reopening the picture.

There's a couple of scripts that take a background
color (or layer) and make a thin halo around your
transparent image. This won't make a smooth gradient,
but if you have some idea what your background is
going to be it looks great. Even against a patterned
background the human eye is quite forg

If you unchecked the save background, it should have been fine. Which
means your problem is probably not in GIMP but rather with using a
browser that isnt fully alpha-in-png compatible. If you have a link,
maybe some of us could take a look and see if it is fine in another
browser.
