Will I have to go and look into VirtualBox again? And what do I do to install XP Mode on it?
It does work quite well, though I haven't tried 3D gaming on it. As for installing XP mode, if you have an ISO, boot off it in VirtualBox.

Isn't that swell?
Very, but at the same time, anything that needs to be run at startup as an admin permission probably should be running as a system service instead anyway (which means it automatically gets higher permissions). Unfortunately it's not the sort of thing you can just magically make work, stuff needs to be able to be run as a service to work properly.

The ISO is only 500 MB but the install profile is physically bigger; I remember it taking over 1GB when I first installed WinXP (pre SP1) way back in the day.

It wasn't designed for playing games, but for emulating apps that didn't work properly otherwise.

Yay, a changelog that's probably bigger than its changes. But still, things that bugged me.

! The support block in the admin sidebar shouldn't be linked to anything now, especially not a page that doesn't exist any more. (Admin.template.php)
! Minor layout fix to the items in the admin area, it was bugging me how everything was misaligned. (Yes, the placeholder icons are *still* misaligned, but they're not my main problem!) (admin.css)
! The feed block in the sidebar should have more spacing than it did. (index.css)

but I suspect you'd kill me before I finish my sentence
Try me, I'm a big boy, I can handle some less than pleasant comments :P I just reserve the right to repay bad comments in kind is all... ;) (Though my weight is actually down, back to where it was before I had two weeks of flying up and down the country and eating out because that's what we tend to do when we're all together)

Would it help if I called it a mustache (naming it in full)?

I used this one as well, but I chose a more 'invisible' color as the background, allowing me to hide it more easily
I did wonder, but I just used the same colour I did last time, didn't realise it was a problem...

Obviously you're not the one who always has the Credits page open as an incentive to work on making all Wedge pages as good loking as that one
I don't have the Credits page open much at all, in fact...

Yeah but it had a beard so you could see what was what.
True enough.

Go and shave!
I got rid of the beard, what more do you want? :P

I'd really like to call it quits and commit it, but I'm scared most people will think it doesn't look as good as a stock SMF2, ah ah...
You know the answer to that, screenshots! You might think it may not be as good as a stock SMF 2, and it may not be. It may be better, but right now the only person who knows for sure is you...

No transparent PNG uh? Would be best for my image manipulations
SP Studio doesn't make transparent PNGs as far as I know.[1]

And you could have done it BEFORE I made the new logo for the FB group
What do you think inspired me to do it, haha!

BTW, the mustache doesn't look like a mustache at first sight... Since there's no mouth, it actually looks like you're brooding. And the mustache is your mouth!
I did play around with having a mouth on there, but the previous image didn't have a mouth IIRC, and the 'tache is still big enough you can't really see my mouth under it!
 1. In fact, I just checked and it doesn't even support PNG, it outputs to JPG. http://sp-studio.de/ is the one I use.

It's actually documented but not in the json_encode help page... You have to go look into the JSON module and search for 'resources' or something like that. I found it originally via Google (duh)...
Bah. That's retarded. At least some of the parameters are implied through example, this one isn't. I wasn't sure what it did, so wasn't sure if it'd help or not.

I figured it was about time I updated my little SP style avatar dude with a current shirt :D (And yes, I only have a 'tache at the moment, the beard went last week for the funeral)

With PHP 5.3 json_encode has parameters you can pass. One of them, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES, might be relevant, but it's undocumented (yay)

It should be faster, though.

I haven't got a lot to add except...

But it would mean having to decode after that, wouldn't it...?
I don't even remember seeing a ready-made function for that in ECMAScript...
json_encode on the PHP side, exports raw JS code that you can use... JSON is, after all, just JavaScript expressing an object.

You do realise that karma is very different to the like feature, right? Karma is per user, but likes are per post.

Message:
! The revised admin panel (lots of files, including new ones and getting rid of old ones)

The main thing that's different is the front page, and there's still some compatibility code in there from earlier drafts, this isn't finished at all - more icons are needed, as well as completing the move of some features. In the end, Core Features should ultimately be removed from the system, as the first step.
