Update Again, Check here for the latest updates!

I've been using them around the place! Haven't you noticed ?!

Actually, I'm the one who forcedbegged Kinen to fork them overintegrate them into the board lol. If it weren't for me, we probably wouldn't have them right now .

Nope, I haven't
At least not too often.

Speaking of Kinen, I can't wait for him to return..
He is very much missed.

*passes out from CHA deficiency*

Okay, I give up. All registered members can now take the "Edited by..." legends out of their posts in the regular Edit while Quick Edit will no longer show them.

Also, you can now upload avatars with maximum dimensions of 150 px Width x 250 px Height, but the upload size (25 KB if you're not using an external image service) stays the same because the Admin CP does not give an option to change it like it does for Personal Photos. Speaking of, Personal Photo dimensions will remain the same for now.

Enjoy.

EDIT: I just realized the irony...I don't do these updates only for myself, you know . (nobody leaves feedback, anyway)

I would've posted this sooner, but I wanted to read more first and ended up branching to many more articles than I intended to view...

Google has released something potentially revolutionary this last week:

Google Chrome Frame

This is a beta plug-in for IE6/7/8 that allows it to use Google Chrome's web rendering technologies instead of the ones built in to IE/Windows. The reason this development was made (and by one company to assist a competing company, nonetheless...) was to facilitate for easier, fuller, and more streamlined development of web sites and applications, most specifically Google Wave.

IE has always had trouble adhering to web standards as completely as every other non-IE based browser, and it happens to be the web browser with the most global market share according to various sources, so this creates problems for web developers who must create stuff that caters to every widely used browser (you can't just make a web site and expect it to work with every browser automatically...). Because of this, they cannot flesh out their creations and projects with needed and wanted features, and thus many sites come off as lacking.

Google has loads of trouble with this as they are mainly an internet-based company who derive their revenues from ads. Since they develop web sites and applications to make most of their earnings, they are vulnerable to IE's many flaws. They've already released their own web browser to compete with and counter it, but people haven't been downloading it so readily in the past year, again according to various sources. The only other solution they thought of? Make IE render the web like Chrome using a plug-in, and thus...

For the end user, using this plug-in basically means making IE faster and more compatible with standard-compliant web sites (as in no overlaying web page elements, etc., etc....). I've tested it a little and so far it works fine, though I had a hiccup once during the testing. To use it, the web site you're browsing needs to have a specific meta tag appended to the top of the page source, or if it doesn't, you can try browsing with Google Chrome Frame by including "cf:" in the address bar without the quotes in front of "http://" without the quotes (like cf:http://www.msn.com), although this latter method is a little bit buggy for now. (the easiest way to check if you're using Chrome Frame on any site is to right-click and see if you get the regular IE menu or not) Google Chrome Frame is not invoked automatically, so if the site doesn't include that meta tag or you don't use the "cf:" prefix, you can still browse the web like before (but without the plug-in's benefits).

IE6 and IE7 users are STRONGLY encouraged to upgrade to IE8 if they are using Windows XP SP2/SP3 or Windows Vista as it already provides so many enhancements in performance, stability, security, and usability. I would recommend getting it before trying out the plug-in as IE8 has a stronger foundation to work with, but if you cannot install IE8 for whatever reason, IE6 and IE7 reportedly also work with the plug-in, but they're not recommended.

I may include a notice in the Resort to remind members using IE to download this plug-in, but for now I just wanted to put this out there. As of this post, the Resort does have the specific meta tag included in its source.

(holy crap; this post only took me a few minutes or so to initially type, and in Word, it's just about two pages long and I still have a five-page paper to write that I haven't started on T_T ...)
