    Alright. The following are the problems I have with my own program.
    1. The progress bar doesn't work
    2. The log doesn't log the actions for the avatars that are supposed to be grabbed.
    Oh, and the Start button starts, but it doesn't do anything.
    The odd thing is that I have no errors in my console thing.
    Which brings me to my problems...
    So I was wondering:
    how the heck do I get the log to log the avatars the program is supposed to get?
    How do I get the progress bar to log the progress? I have the value set as 1, and the bar is at 1, but it doesn't continue forward when I press start. :'(
    Hoping to get this to work.
    So far, the status of Avatar Grabber is Failure. :'( :'(

    If you could upload your work files/coding,it'd be better to help you out (But some people prefer not to, so it's up to you).

    Too high of a leach risk. I will give the code to whoever needs it though, just PM me.

    send it to me... if you trust me :arf:
    I'll make a complete program with this one with the auth system and everything and you'll be able to improve base on that.

    Vb.net is easy, yes, but it's not yet arrived to the point it will code everything for you by reading your mind. A progress bar can be used for many useful things, and not only to show a progress of a process; you have to set the value of the progress bar everytime you grab a new avatar. If, for example, you have 80 avatars to be grabbed, you should set the maximum value of the progressbar to 80 and update the 'Value' property of it once it grabs an avatar.
    The same ting goes with the Log. You have to call the routine which adds an item to the Log ListBox object everytime an avatar is grabbed. You have to write the string to add yourself, and there's not a "Log" control, but, as already said, a "Listbox" one, which can (once again) be used for many scopes.

    And the start button should work if you put the code to be executed in the object's Click event. If it doesn't, there must be something which stops the program from executing as it should. The best method would be to debug it yourself if you don't want others to see your code (which is a really senseless precaution with an Avatar Grabber, IMHO).

    Well, let me know if you need anything else explained.
