Wedge

As per the thread where we talked about using jQuery, you can either use a local version, or use a choice of 3 CDNs.

Yes, but which is easier: entering an email address or copy/pasting a long, ugly link?

And it's usually passable enough in quality to get the gist if not the detail of what's going on. But yeah, I don't really want to go too far into this if possible, at least not in the core; most forums are not multi-language.

Plus SMF/Wedge's version doesn't require two separate dependencies as it only uses the stock mysql client, as opposed to needing the PDO core plus the PDO-MySQL specific library.

I'm not averse to it *working* on IE6 but I don't really want to burn time making it look good.

I'm referring to Illori.

As for IE6, if users will use that decade old pretender, they can expect it to look crap.

On the nature of the team: yes, RC5 is "practically final" so it was a fair comment to make.

Yes, that lovely person who basically mini-moderates everything is a decent % of the comment I made recently about not really being right for the team, because all she is doing is not answering questions. Now, during my time, I did some of that (we all did) but her bluntness makes my bluntness look tame.

On PNGs: there are three reasons to use PNG over GiF: file size is usually smaller, the LZW patent and true colour support.

On the matter of file size, you can often tweak and gouge to make it smaller; that's one of the perks of variable encodings of lossless compression. Sometimes GIF will win but usually it doesn't. True colour support including alpha makes for prettier images but IE6 not supporting it without a hack made it painful. And yes, the LZW patent has expired at least in the US and most if not all of the European countries where it was registered.
