Off-topic / Re: What to do with an annoyingly large PNG background?

Oh... in which case the only viable way is to have it requested via JS, where it's sending the user's width/height in the requesting URL and resize it on the fly in PHP or similar, if you're looking for truly closest.
Or have several images pre-sized, requesting the image from 'nearest'.
Background-size, while cool, doesn't work in IE yet to the best of my knowledge, which means you still need to find an alternative solution for the biggest userbase.

Try saving it as a JPG and see whether that generates any nasty image artefacts.
As for resizing, not if done as a background-image as far as I know. That said, you could try dropping it into an image, forcing size in the attributes (which causes rescaling, rather than using CSS width/height which crops), then positioning it fixed, top/left 0, with a z-index lower than anything else.

Nope, it's still in the process of happening apparently.

To confirm: this project is legal, as it stands right now, because all development is being done in a private repository and no distribution is taking place; we could distribute it even with all the changes as-is if we did so in a mod package.
It has been confirmed by Norv more than once, that SMF 2.0 final will adopt New BSD as its licence. Right now, aside from any bugs (of which there are an alarming number classed as 'pushed back to 2.1'), the main stumbling block is that they feel they have to finish transferring all legal rights and assets to the NPO prior to final.

I figure that if he has some more of those moments he might get it.

Some of the best things occurred *because* of not following standards... the underpinning of AJAX was conceived by MS as a non standard extension in IE6 for example.
But there is a message here - they are trying to get better at the whole standards thing.

Yes. I thought it would give a dose of reality check to our dear friend :lol: Worked too, he PM'd me shortly after, asking for some tuition in making better code for SMF, along with what amounts to 'I promise to try to listen to you this time' but knowing as I do how well it worked previously, I just told him (nicely!) that I didn't really have time due to other commitments. Funny, he didn't even bother replying (this is 24 hours on at this point)

This is an interesting concept. I don't just mean the nature of the article, HTML5 Labs, I mean the whole U-turn MS has been doing in favour of actually following standards.

Yeah, the first two Monkey Island games.
I play games via Steam, partly because it's convenient since I can install/uninstall at will and not have to remember where I downloaded the installers for things I've bought.
I have to admit, I play games more now than I used to, simply because I find as the last year or so has gone on, I find myself needing to stop coding for a bit... it's like I'm getting old :o (Which, at 27, sounds and feels daft, but I find I'm a little less tolerant to hours and hours of coding than I used to be.)

Actually the point for getting Steam for me was a bit back when they were giving away Portal for free. After that, buying MI1 + MI2 (both special editions) for a total of £7.99 was pretty good.

Nice!Quote I don't believe so due to the techniques used in toggle(), which IIRC is resizing as well as other things, as opposed to fadeIn being purely an opacity change.
(The animation is a simple fadeIn effect... I tried with toggle() and it reflows the text as it enlarges. Is there a way to prevent text reflowing in this kind of animation?)
