For all you PBI dev's, I created this to help easily manage updates for your PBI's .Visit http://www.them3xican.net/pbiupdate/ and register. For your PBI's to check for updates set the update url to http://them3xican.net/pbiupdate/updatepbi.php. Leave any questions or comments in this thread.

That was just a bug.
You set the update URL for your PBI to http://them3xican.net/pbiupdate/updatepbi.php, and register. You add the information about your PBI in when you release a new PBI, so whenever a person goes to the "PBI Update Check" Program it will show them the URL to the new PBI that you put in. I'll post some screen shots later.

Roger wilco.

I'll update my XChat PBI tooo!!

PS: Is that the Firefox PBI or native BSD one from ports/packages?? The fonts look right.

Lol oops the XChat update was just an example so you will probably get an invalid url, and the firefox is compiled from ports.
