Arne,
For my second question, this is the answer that you wrote
*No, you can just pull data directly from your server.*
is it a typo, is it* you just can't pull data* ???
if it is so, the only time when the gadget can send profile data of
*user A*to my database is when the gadget is loaded
by *user A* on his apps page??
