Generic non-descriptive n00b thread title

 ;D

Ok, questions. Idly contemplating some mutilating of innocent Elks here. Want to know:

1/ What is Font Awesome used for (IOW, where is it likely to sneak up and bite me)?

2/ Ditto for jQuery UI.

FA: the little home in the linktree, menu at low resolutions, rss icon (bottom right corner), few places around in the admin panel I think. I can't remember more at the moment.

jQuery UI: profile page (at least tabs, maybe more), post page (in certain conditions, IIRC for moving around the "more smiley" popup), most likely somewhere in the admin panel but I don't remember where.

FA is used in 2 controllers, 25 templates and 3 js files from a quick search ... lots of little inline icons here and there, plus mobile menu, and a few times as pseudos in the CSS.

UI is used only where $modSettings['jquery_include_ui'] = true; is set ... But in general, its the profile tabs, anywhere where drag sorting is enabled, such as smileys, profile fields, board order, email filters and parsers (all admin areas which is why is included in the main admin.controller) and I think its used for the warning sliders in profile as well.  Could be a few other places.

Profile tabs? What is it supposed to do there? They all seem resolutely fixed, AFAICT.

Its the  Summary / Recent Activity / Buddies tabs

Supposed to (when/if  I completely it) load the tab content via ajax.  However due to my  laziness, I never finished that for v1, so instead the page is just loaded and the tabs simply show / hide those divs. 

I intend to do that with ajax, and allow it to be extended via addons, and add some other tabs, but have not had the inspiration to get back to it :P
