smile I am a newcomer to the forums, but have been posting to my Poser Gallery for a number of months. I would think that the server tracking information would be the best benefit to your queries, unless you want to set up an actual poll. I do not post very much at all, but I do keep track of all the posts that go through the poser forum, have them delivered to my mailbox. As far as newbies asking questions, most of us are just too intimidated to ask and newbies I notice have a tendency to be ignored for the most part with most hits going to the giants of the community....just my little humble observation. So, in light of this newbies feelings and observations, there are probably a WHOLE LOT of us that view the forum posts on a very regular basis that never say a peep. not much help, but thought I would just add my 2 cents worth -^..^-~~
