actually i do know how much work that would require (i program in VB and a lil html) (example - in the PM window there is already a unused btn(profile) change the name to "STATUS" that's hardly any code what so ever link that btn to the txt bar in the control panel so when u would press the "status" btn it would load a new window stright to the control panel "PM msg" edit txt bar ) the time this should take aprox 1 hr (if ur slow) and the amount of code is nill all u have to do is add a link to the btn code its simple and i would do it if i was able to as to donating im broke i have med bills i cant pay i dnt have a car and i cant work because of my back if i had any $ whatsoever even if it was 50cents i would donate i understand that it takes time and money to run this site and im not expcting them to just stop and do what i ask it was merely a suggestion hence y i posted this in the "SUGGESTIONS" forum
