Doesn't the Renderosity server keep track of information like that??? Are you looking for visitors that post, or just a guess as to how many people (artist and non-artist) visit without ever posting? That would be difficult for someone to determine who doesn't have access to server tracking info. What is the Most Asked Question of New Vistor of the Poser Forum? --- I would think the question be what question is most asked by new visitors???? I don't recall many questions beings asked of new visitors unless they post something interesting (which explains why no one asks me anything). In other words, I have no answers but I have plenty of extra questions I'm not using. :)

Hi LadyNimue Thanks for your comment on my discoDRAGNbabeV3 pic! I would say there are at least 20-30 names I see regularly. I've been a member since the old days when it was Willow's Poser Forum -before the days of Renderosity. There have been times when I have not participated much-and times like now when I am "back" again. Lessee about 100 per week-more on weekends. Eric

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 -^..^-~~

Why does my hair show up as dots? Where is blMilWom.obj? How do I make a BUM file? (declining)

I have only been here under a year now, and visit this forum several times a day (break up the monotony of work). I can pretty well credit this forum for teaching me all I learned about poser. I probably post something here every other day...and even as a newbie I was not afraid to ask my stupid questions...that is the best way to learn i think....and more often than not someone will take the time to respond...so newbies should not be afraid to ask anything. The most common question I think would be about newbies getting stuck with mike and vickies eyebrow setting :)

I agree, the most common question is definitely about Vicki2's eyebrow settings. And I still don't understand what is so difficult about them ;)

I've been a member since March of 2000, but have only recently got back into the swing of things with the release of P5 (which, for me, works like a champ). Only this month did I start posting here mainly in the gallery. And this last month I have learned a WHOLE lot due to these forums. Rawnrr sounds a lot like me - learning and breaking up the monotony:). But I do have to agree with Spiritfoxy, it is kind of intimidating if you're not a "regular"... but it seems to be the same at other sites too. I guess you just have to take that plunge and if no one replies, no big deal - eventually someone will:) Now, that that's out of the way... As far as the most asked question, again I agree with Rawnrr it has to be the eyebrows... Well back to the monotonous task know as work... ~ amon_g ~

I've been a member almost a year...while I'm online I usually just keep 'Rosity up in its own browser most of the day and check the messageboards or galleries infrequently throughout the day. My morning routine is... send man off to work, brew a huge pot of coffee, turn on computer, check my email and 'rosity. Nothing much to do when your waiting for a call from a temp agency :p

I have been a member here going on 3 years, I just started to post my work in my gallery, just cause I really don't think it is worth looking at until now (and that is a maybe), I am here most of the day from 6:00am - 7:00 pm EST, checking posts and seeing if I can help someone. I do post to questions to try to answer them, but only the ones I think I can help, those I can't I don't post so not to waste space and the person's time. It is hard for the newbies to get started, but if they come they will learn, okay to keep quite and in the background, but if you gotta a question you should ask, most will get answered. I agree with Rawnrr regarding the main question about Vic's eyebrows, but also where to put the files is a biggy too. Sharen

i hop between half a dozen forums myself, each having there own brand of information and circle of posters to rely on. i typically find what im looking for (assuming ive arived in search of answers) by reading back-posts and searching the forums for other assorted tid-bits that usually come in handy. so most times i dont feel the need to post, or respond to many. so all the forums i visit are home i suppose. in one fashion or another. there are names and attitudes and personalities you sometimes hafta wade through to get to information. i feel there is alot of bad writing in tutorials these days. sometimes only (computer-based) human-interaction... such as a forum, can help bring to light the answers needed to questions a newbie has. it is our most powerful asset as a progy user-base... to get in touch with other users in a descreet, non-aggresive format which allows us to be open and free to share with whomever, wherever they may be. im just here to read and learn... i have my life and friends in reality... ~;)

I've been a member for 3 years, but only started reading and posting in the forum a month ago, while I was stuck with a Poser 5 question. I really wish I had come sooner. This forum is full of charming people, always helpful and with a seemingly bottomless well of knowledge. I got an answer to nearly all my questions in no time. Really like the place. These days, the winner question is probably "what program do I need to make MAT poses"... Compiler

Been Posing since May bit only started coming here a few weeks ago and now its my second home! There are such lovely helpful people and it is great to talk to people who do not think I am completely barmy! I have seen a lot of questions lately on Vicky 3's head morphs - did noone read Daz's pages?

I drop bye here at least 2 times a day, just to check on new post, i never realy post, i just read and learn its so great here, thank you all for the great info...

Oh, and about how many pics are posted, just a little stat. I posted a pic at 6:30 pm french time. Checked at 9:30 pm french time and it was in 37th position. This is 1 new image every five minutes. It would be interesting to do a test at various times of the day and various days of the week (uh, oh, sounds like I'm going back into my stats...) Your thumbnails have to be really interesting, or have big watermelons on it, to get a viewing... Compiler

dialyn Love your rainbow bridge image...
Not asking these Qs from an Admins point of view, just a kicking around one-friend-to-another conversation :)

Eric The New Magic Crystal is just too much fun!
I love the humor in your images. Great to have you back. :)

Spiritfoxy Trundle is wonderfully magical as are your fairies. Please in the future do not only peep .. let out a CROW ;]
If no one answers, tap me on the shoulder and I will pop in and do my best to answer your Qs or find someone who will :)

RHaseltine Where be your gallery postings ??? :]
Did you know that the Poser Forum Backroom is being Set Up to answer Just those questions. Isnt that waaaaaaay Kewl :]

Rawnrr Wonderfully wicked devil :)
I personally Hate Vickys eyebrows :]

Eowyn Serpents Songs Textures are amazing!
I still hate Vicky eyebrows :P

amon_g Look Ma is a classic beauty ...
Hey maybe you could help Kevin with some Poser 5 tutorials for the Backroom :)

Hi Des Great to see you,.. I love Absinthes eyes, Beautiful!
Great to have coffee with you in the mornings :)

great to see you Sharon Love, when the music died.
You give Soooo much to the community with your models, I am surprised you have time to answer as many questions as you do. Thank you for being such a big part of the Poser Forum :)

TCSP Looking forward to seeing something in your Gallery as well.
Having interests away from the computer is always healthy :)
Once the Backroom is open hopefully you will be like a kid in a Candy store learning all sorts of new Poser Stuff.

compiler Dragon Friend is so uniquely creative!
Thanks for adding to the questions base :)

welcome elgyfu I can hardly wait to see your first Rosity Gallery posting.
As to the Vicky Morphs. Yeah, sometimes its hard for New Poser People to find information and the correct links. That is why it is nice to have informative people, like yourself, to point them to the right way :) Thanks for being part of the Poser Forum.

ford3auss Do me a huge favor and go to your Rosity Gallery and click on the Edit bottom under your image. and reload Assassin Repents. This image was lost when Rosity Upgraded last Fall :) Great to see you here and be sure to post something new real soon :)

Ladynimue, I'd be more than happy and honored to contribute to the community. :)

Yes I agree with you 100% Complier... There is really an Art as to the BEST time to Post your Art so it will have the Best Viewing "Legs". [no pun intended] Soo what do you all think? Based on Rosity Time - What is the Best: Time of Day to post an Image? Day of the Week To Post An Image? What is the Best Size to have your thumbnail? or does size matter ... when it comes to thumbnail size :P ladynimue

I'm very regular... and I'm here pretty often, too... since 1/16/2000... Newbie question...what's Poser???? then...who's dork??? then...why doesn't my render look like the ones in the gallery???

OH that is wonderful news amon_g. Get ahold of kbennett and let him know what you would like to give him for the backroom :) ladynimue

I've been lurking in the poser forum for nearly 2 yrs now, my doesn't time fly when you're having fun? lol

Dave you have to put a warning on your newest Gallery Posting "Macho Man". NO Drinking Tea while Viewing
I was laughing so hard I had to wipe off my keyboard...
NOW that is ONE funny image ;]
Wow since Jan 2000, You just had a Rosity B-Day!
SooOOo happy to see you still here and helping out :)

ladynimue

I don't know how to maximize hits...I don't do naked people so I don't expect much in the way of views...and my best viewed graphic was a picture of grey box (go figure). I have increased the size of my thumbnails from 100x100 to 200x200 just because it gives a little more space for giving a better "teaser" for the graphic. Seems to me the question I'm seeing more and more is "help" as if the poor person has been stranded on a desert island with Poser. I wonder if, in addition to the tutorials posted on the Renderosity site, if there might be a usefulness to having tutorial links in the backroom (regularly updated, of course, because resources come and go). Glad you liked the rainbow bridge. Not much of anything, but it was from the heart. :)

Thanks for the compliment LadyNimue :o) Damn...forgot the most asked newbie question...I've gotta agree with others on the Victoria 2 eyebrow thing...next to that of course is 'Where can I find insert item, preferably free??'...I've been guilty of the second myself many times, LOL! Its hard to keep to the monthly budget when so many wicked cool things hit the marketplaces at once :oD

Hi there c1rcle :) Great to see you as well :) Love Sunset on a Balcony. Your use of lights and shadows is outstanding. And you have to have fun in life, or what is the point of living :) ladynimue

I Have been a member for..... well , it's been a while ( back when it was all just the Poser forum ) . I come here everyday but rarely post to any threads unless I have a question or to answer someones question . I work very slow ( maybe an image every three months or so ) so I really don't know when the best time to post one is .

Ohh I have designed many website dedicated to the Rainbow bridge dialyn, so I know how heartfelt your image was to you and to many of the viewers. Thank you for posting. As to the backroom... Well I am just going to have to Drag Kevin in here from the Tavern to answer some of your questions while I fix dinner :) You Are GOING TO BE SOOooooOOOoo Excited when you see the final Project... but that is all I can say.. no no do not ask me anymore... ;] Kevvvvvvvinnnnnnnn...... ladynimue

Oh Des, I know what you mean, I am addicted to Poser. My two 20 gig hard drives are overflowing with Poser stuff :( My bank account is drained montly. and and and I keep coming back for more. It's so bad that I am buying a New computer JUSt to hourse my Poser Programs and Items. And Yes I agree, where to put it all, and remember where you put it is a big concern :) ladynimue

"How Many Regulars in Poser Forum?"

Lol. Is that like 'How many idiots does it take to render a NVITWAS?" ;) (screw in a light bulb didn't seem to fit)

I couldn't even begin to guess. I'm here just about every day. Image posting I do on average of one every other week or so. Usually less than that. I joined in 2000 but didn't really start posting till later. (you C&D people were scary) ;)

Dunno if I qualify as a regular. I've been hanging around this forum for around 8 months now. I learned a hell of a lot and downloaded many a good freebie thanks to the good people on here.

Hi markm The rose is lovely, so soft and very romantic. I am like you, I work very very slowly. That is the beauty of Renderosity, You can work at your own pace. NO one setting a deadline or looking over your shoulder to tell you that you HAVE to get an image finished! With that said ;] I look forward to your next posting :) ladynimue

The thumbnail thing can be sort of an art in itself, when done thoughtfully. I'd like to think that whether or not the thumbnail images catches your attention in some way is more important than size, but I do tend to use the maximum size allowed, since that makes them more "readable." What's the most common thumbnail image theme? Victoria's bosom. But you knew that. Hey ladynimue, you rock as a Moderator. Glad you're here.

ladynimue... thanks :) I was going to do a "head-on" view, but thought about the TOC ;) It was actually a quick one in response to a thread at the Yahoo Poser list asking whether Mike was gay or not, and the feminine aspects of Vic3 male morph.... Yep...I've been around a long time...even though I may get a bit punchy at times, I truly love this place....even like some of the people here... I think I have been here actually longer...back when willow first started whatever it originally was...PFO, and all that stuff...and then even before that...since Poser 1 and whatever list was in existence...can't remember..it may have been on AOL at the beginning.... Still can't use Poser worth a darn, but I have a good time :) This post is a bit off your original intent, but I just need to say its sure great having someone so positive around..thanks... You may have noticed I tend to be a bit on the negative side of some things...but we do need the devils advocate to keep everything on an even keel :)

Kendra ** Mermaid Lagoon is amazing. I love how you rendered the water. I can see a tutorial there easily :) I would image you have tons of information you could share with the rest of us :) ladynimue**

xoconostle You Rock as an artist.. Best Friends is one of my Favorite Images. I love to go back to it when I am having a down day... it always makes me smile. I agree with you about the Thumbnails. They can make or break an image and to be honest can make the difference between people viewing or not. I have seen it go both ways. So make sure your thumbs are up to snuff :) And Always include a thumb if you want your image to be seen! Ta DA Thank you also for your kind words. All the Rosity Mods Rock - and do such an Outstanding Job - each and everyone of them! It's such an honor to be able to work under the wing of two great mods as Lyrra and Kevin. And to be assigned to this wonderful Forum :) I likes it here ;] Thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome :) ladynimue

Thank you ladynimue. :)
Actually, for me to get a decent looking body of water is an accomplishment as it's one of the hardest things in P5 for me. I tend to Forrest Gump my way into it. :)
I tweaked a water material someone posted over at PP and made sure I had a light under the surface facing up. Then I just play with the Diffuse and Translucence colors. :)

Thanks for the comments. :)

Hi Sam I would call you as Regular as the rest of us Poser People :) I still think your self-portrait really is amazing work . So fun to start getting to know you all and put names to Images :) ladynimue

I've been here since April 1999 (oh my! how time flies) and I was on the original MetaCreations list waaaay before that. I started with Poser 1. I'm here every day - at least 4 or 5 times.
I read all the posts and once in awhile feel compelled to put in a reply but most of the time I just lurk. I tried to keep up with the art gallery but it's so big now that I tend to miss a lot. I enjoy seeing all the wonderful artwork and sometimes I post a picture there but I'm always hesitant about doing that. I don't know why - everyone has been very kind.

Here comes Kevin, he can answer ALL your backroom Q's :) I know you have tons of them I have to fix dinner... Be Back Later ... Keep those Questions and Answers coming In ... ladynimue

rain Chandra Shows Off is so wonderful I can hear the charms on her ankle as she dances :) Love your gallery, great to have you here :) ladynimue

Howdy all. Did I hear my name being called out there? Don't want to hijack the thread, so I'll be brief ;) amon_g, you said you'd like to help out... so what do you say to making some P5 tutorials for us? You get to choose the topics ;) The same goes for all of you good folks. If you think you've got a tutorial or two tucked away inside of you and you'd like to share it with us, we're more than happy to host it here in the backroom. Wanna take a sneak peek? Don't take any notice of the seriously grim banner and navigation bar, they're just placeholders. If you want some really good ones, why not have a crack at the mini contest? So much for being brief ;) Kev.

Going on 2 years, I think... Not as many renders as some, slightly over 100 so far during this time. Visit this place daily, it's like home... Most asked by others... Why is the Top20 not fair, and Do you believe there is too much nudity in the Galleries??? At least judging by this Forum, LOL!

ladynimue, thanks. i have some isp server space i use to show friends my work in progress but its not capable of hosting many files. i work primarily in animation rather than still, my background being in miniature and stop motion animation. so the only images i have are single frame renders of a bigger animation. poser is just another foray in the CG realm. im not exclusively working with it. ~;P

Lady Nimue, I pop in pretty much every day, may not post anything in the forums, but I read 'em. I've been a member for quite some time, probably over a year, but have only been fairly active for about 6 - 8 months now. I usually check out the gallery every other day or so ... everyday when I have downtime at work. I try to get at least one image in the gallery every week, sometimes more when I have the time. :-)

Yeah Thanks Kevin,.. Ohh the Backroom is looking Grand!!!!!!
Thanks for letting us take a quick look-see while the cyber paint is still drying :)

Hey there illusions Shock in the Fairy's fountain has always been one of my all time favorites :)
Thanks for your input. I know from viewing the galleries that lack of clothing is a Poser BIG concern ;]

Hi hmatienzo "Run, Phoebus, Run!" is a classic! Your gallery is filled with Warmth and Whimsy ;]
As much as I agree about the most asked questions you posed from others, However...

What's the "New to Poser" People Need from the Poser Forum, and what can the Regular Members help them find.

As well as what do the Regular Members want from the Poser Forum.

ladynimue

How many regulars? about 50 names I see EVERY day. Another 150 or so that I recognize. Plus a slew of used-to-be-regulars that pop in occaisionally. I've actually been on the board since it first started, but never spoke up much in the forums :) Common question? "who are Dork, Posette, Mike, Victoria, Victor,etc. and where can I get them?" "Where can I get "x" free?" (I usually let LittleDragon get those at this point. He frightens me grin) "Why does vicky have evil eyebrows?" and of course Vicki 3 brings so many more questions with all those bloody injection files sigh We get about 100-200 posts a day, about 100 images a day (I might be off as Nimue is the Gallery mod right now). Weekends are busier, especially Sunday afternoon. I told Kev that if nobody entered the banner contest we should do it in Creepy Clown motif smirk Kev wanted Pink Pony but Nimue went screaming out into the night ... and she's such a sweetie we don't want to upset her Lyrra the Sleepy

Hey TCSP.. Drop me an IM to your site ... I would love to view your works :) Rhiannon Your images are flawless.. I love your autumn lady... she is beautiful beyond beauty! ladynimue

So great to have you here :) Thank for coming, I am in the tail end of fixing dinner. and have to scoot... ladynimue

Hmm let me rewrite that... I am finishing up cooking dinner, but will come back on later :) If not I shall see you all in the Morning, as I have been online since 2AM> Night All :) ladynimue

boy Ladynimue, what a great question....this was so interesting, read all the posts. Thanks for being here. Sharen

Awww, thanks LM, I really appreciate it! :-) Great questions, and I just realized I didn't answer the "most asked" question. One that I see alot is the "out of memory" error that we've probably all had at one time or another when trying to render. HUGS
