Oh, I completely agree. Quite a bit of this is over my head (even though I understand a little :P). Thing is, I don't have enough time to do all those tutorials and such, I just have to jump right in.
I finally figured out how to make this work--I had to rename all the "joke" references to "elejokes". Now, it works.
I really can't say how thankful I am of you

You have been very helpful. When I finish the app, im going to make sure to recognize you in the credits. Anyway, thanks again.
