I like the fact that you can change your preferred browser, although will the stats automatically update at the same time as the site does?

lacrimosa - yes, the app will update as the site does. The preferred browser is mainly for when you click a link, the program knows what browser to open it up in.

helmsuzanne - It appears that you need to upgrade your.NET Client Framework to 4.0 The installer usually updates these files automatically if needed. Try restarting your PC and try installing again. If that doesn't work, try installing .NET 4.0 from microsoft themselves at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5765d7a8-7722-4888-a970-ac39b33fd8ab&displaylang;=en

If anyone is having the same problem, please re-download the setup files again. I have added the .NET 4.0 Client Framework to the .zip file.

Thank You!

helmsuzanne - the application will stay on your computer until you decide you don't want it and uninstall it :)
As far as clearing the cache, P2S Companion uses the same framework as IE. So if you clear your cache in Firefox, it does not appear to affect the program. But, clearing cache in IE will, in effect, log you out of the website.

I will look into storing the cookies another way, but only if I can do so securely. Thanks for the idea! :)

I like it, I just wish we could change the size to make it bigger or smaller. Mainly because it doesnt stretch the entire length of my screen, so if I change the browser size, there will still be a little chunk of desktop visible. (I'm really picky and like everything to fit on the screen) Also if possible make it so you can make the blue bar with "earn points, spend points..." be able to be removed.

pokemonbreeder - indeed those are great suggestions! I will work on implementing some changes to the program within the next couple of days.

Any changes I make will be updated by the application automatically.

Thanks all, Keep the ideas coming!

I'm really liking this ^_^

Is there any way that you can turn it into a similar style to the windows 7 widgets? I'd rather have it in a little box, or a bar that I can fix to the side of my desktop (like the windows toolbars) rather than a floating app;

Maybe that's just me being picky ;) Still, I love it! thanks :D and it auto updated this morning too :)
