    Okay i am going to show people how i went about making a paltalk profiler,
    I at first thought i would’nt need one of these but version 553 of paltalk does’nt let you get the information for members,

    Now the first thing im going to do with this tutorial is just copy and paste the source as i have already commented it and should be easy to read except for the coulors (green ect…)

    Then the second thing im going to do is post a web link to download the project so you can see how i have set it out and maybe you will be able to understand it better,

    The third thing that i am going to do (right now) is tell you why i made this paltalk profiler when there is laready plenty around, The reason is that the ones i seen are crap (sorry to the authors) styxx for example uses 1 line of code and is about as good as adding a web link to your favourites, and the other i seen on planet source code, has a lot of errors and also uses the inet control, no good for people using windows 98 for example, it also has the dependency of the common dialog control, no good for people who only has the standard VB runtime files installed in to the version of windows,
    Anyway enough about why i made this and onto the source code.

    P.s Please leave a comments and tell and even post your input and diffrent version of this profiler, sharing creats idea’s :O)

    Well if you took out the comments its really not much coding at all, And i thought it would be nice to show others how it can be done, So take the comments out and it will end up being 1/3 of that :O)
