Thanks to Jacen I found a place to host my program which is, of course, our own JA-Server.
So I first want to thank Jacen for uploading it for me. Without him, I would not be posting right here:D

Next, I'd like to thank n00b for helping me with the code on several occassions.
Also, I'd like to thank Kidware for their continued guidance and assistance when writing this program.
And last but not least, I'd like to thank Fizz, who showed me how to do a custom path.

And now a small story of how and why I wrote this program.

In June I had a Visual Basic exam coming up. Now, I was the one who explained the biggest part to two entire classes, since our teachers really couldn't :P
So, the day before the exam, I really wasn't studying. If I knew it well enough to explain it, I could do it anyday. But since my parents were nagging like... female dogs, I had to at least have the appearance of doing stuff with VB. At this moment, I was doing my Welcome Messages, so you can see where the idea came from. I worked alot, Googled alot, found a lot of help, and expanded like hell.

Now, almost two months later I'm releasing this to the public, which at first I had not even intended. I was coding for my own pleasure, and then I figured I might as well release my hard work.

So without further a due, this is it.

First, a few notes:

- Don't forget to unzip before you install. Otherwise it'll have some funky error.
- Read the Readme
- Don't mind the FAQ yet, that was just a passtime because I was bored :P
- Any problems whatsoever, contact me here, or mail me: BailHope@gmail.com


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- An OS like Windows (any Windows will do, I'm told)
- Some RAM would be nice (like 1 MB?:P)
- A mouse
- A Keyboard
- Notepad
- A Computer Screen
- A video card that can handle showing ... stuff :P
And that'll do :P

Thank you for trying it out.
Any suggestions, please place them here for my reading-enjoyment :P

The Following Stuff is still being worked on:
A Skin-selector (thanks to Garos)
A Delete button (for deleting links, and engagements)
A search function to search your links and engagements
A notice when you should attend something (a class, a meeting, w/e)

That's what I'm doing :D

I've taken a look, and it should solve my array problem

Like Fizz said: Arrays are a big problem in VB
so it should work out here

that's what logic tells me anyway :D

hehe, that might be a while, that might be tomorrow, I'm not too sure yet ... :P

Btw, there is nothing behind the Error. That's because I left my Welcome Message Generator out of the program, out of fear that those will be spammed all over the place. I forgot to update my menus, so the updated version will just have a few stuff fixed, a few stuff added, and that's it... until I can think of something else :P

And as soon as I can fix my array problems, I'll add a Delete button :P

10 dollars
10 percent of 10 dollars is ... 1 dollar for you per download
