This tiny app will inform you of new submissions on VBC and demonstrates how
to implement ownerdrawn menus to add icons and change the font/color of your menus
in the simplest way possible.
Years ago I posted a submission to monitor for new submissions on VBC. That
submission did much more than check for new postings and as such it broke
one of codings' golden rules - never hardcode addresses/strings. For that app
it was neccessary, but as is inevitable, things changed at VBC and elements
of that app have become inoperative accordingly. I've simplified this app to
only check for new submissions and the only hard coded address used is one that
is unlikely to change until a complete revamp of VBC occurs.
