The majority of C# libraries will work in VB.net as well, as they both run on the same framework.

Fair enough, but I do not consider a basic "If Pixel X touches Pixel Y display Pixel X" much of an algorithm. Makes it sound far more complex than it really is. (You could simplify it further by just having a box where it displays negating the need for pixel based logic)

Would you really need an algorithm for this? Mirroring the sprite and reducing its alpha masking would get you a very similar result. The only thing you'd need to calculate is which parts of your upside-down sprite touch the water tile. (It also saves a ton of hassle with animations as you just mimic the existing sprite, which already has the right animation frame)

Windows form controls being transparent over SFML is not an easy task, and honestly I would recommend against doing so. (Windows Forms, or the Win32 API to be more specific were never designed to do this and have their own way of being rendered within the OS itself.) I'd recommend going for an SFML UI library such as the following: https://code.google.com/p/gwen-dotnet/ You could probably find a couple more around though. Not as simple as drag 'n drop editing, but it will save you a lot of headaches and frustration as well as awkward hacks to get it to work.

Eh, stuff breaking is to be expected when you transition between forums. Last time we went from SMF to IPB things went really awry several times. :P Honestly, so far it doesn't seem too bad.. Last time a lot of stuff had to be repaired or even imported by hand. And I guess that makes sense, wanting more room for announcement posts.

You guys done broke a few things huh. (I thought MyBB disabled such things by default?) Oh well, surely nobody on here would be willing to exploit such a thing. /cough

That looks pretty snazzy, your feature list (possibly due to the forum conversion) is a major pain in the butt to read through though.

Ermalerd no more Joyce for me, so back to this good ol' name! (I can't recall which mail address I even had it on, eep! But no big deal, this works as well. I did notice that despite getting a new password I was unable to log into the accounts I requested passwords for.. We've got so many generic passwords for forums here I sometimes get lost whether it's mine, my brother's or my nephew's!) On the bright side, this looks fairly snazzy. Some of the elements that look like they should be responsive collapse on eachother when the resolution gets a little smaller though. Looks a tad awkward. (Mostly the top menu!) On the boo side, your lack of shoutbox disturbs me. How am I supposed to entertain myself now?! Making me read a book, ugh!
