This is there for a long time.. We already did this or the first time  
when the image handling kicked in.. I already fought against that and  
then nobody seems to care, now it looks like it's logical to everyone  
to not display these messages.
(See my reviewing about walkah's image api -> core)

I did comment on that after the image-api hit the trunk.. Why do we  
want to know when something does succeed?? That does not matter!
Everybody who uses software does think everything _will_ work well,  
and only needs to knowhen therre is something wrong, not which  
settings are right...

Though, something else I learned some time ago is why we use radio  
buttons for option to enable/disable them.. Isn't a checkbox ment to  
do that?
checkbox checked is 'enabled', checkbox unchecked is 'disabled'..  
Checkbox class => 'disabled' is not supported..


There is a lot to improve and it needs a lot of time and love.. I  
would love to do some tweaking here and there, make notes, etc, ec,  
and share/discuss then with you all..


Looking forward to some other ideas and suggestions...
