$100 dollars for a peace of paper :O

Great Idea, the only thing is I think some people might use this on their forum and it may start making people get scammed.

I have no liability over what people do with their software, it would be sad if they did that, but there is no way i can stop it.

Thanks for the suggestions and bug reports, i am working on things

cool, that seems like the biggest problem. The paypal account thing should be a breeze though. Also.. a nice feature would be sub-categories. That way we wont have to make a million categories and it all can be organized

[SledgeHammer101]

I'm excited for the next update. Thanx Blaine !

- How do you upload pics? I made one and put a max of 5 pics, entered 5 for how many pics I wanted and no follow-up.
- When I click on "My Vbay", there's nothing that comes up

Exactly Same Problem for me
Idea is Greate But still needs fixing

[Blaine0002]

it does not need fixing, as i have stated many times earlier in the topic, these ideas have not yet been implimented.

I'm looking forward to a working version, hopefully sometime this year...right?

Here I am again, quoting myself from a couple pages and a couple hundred posts back. If you can polish this baby up and get it stable, I'm ready and willing to pay for it. Just some incentive, and good work so far. Some people seem not to understand that certain aspects of the script don't work yet and aren't meant to. I don't get people sometimes...
