I was wondering it anyone saw a problem with posting technical question (i.e. cr2 editing, MATS, ERC, etc.) in this forum instead of the Poser Technical one. Although the Technical forum has been set aside for these topics, hardly anyone reads it on a regular basis, so posting there is like making an announcement in an empty room.

Furthermore, I would argue than most questions in this forum are technical in nature anyway. The dichotomy between the "Poser" forum and "Poser Technical" seems arbitrary and unclear in the first place.

I personally do not have a problem with it. However, if you do not get an answer here you might want to also post in there just to double your odds :) ladynimue

I have noticed that if a technical question isn't technical enough it can sometimes get ignored in the Technical forum. If the question has cr2s ERC and any thing else with abbreviations in it its more likely to get an answer there. But if its ' what do I do if ' and ' how do I ' and ' why? ' it seems to go better here. Thats my personal rule of thumb any way. ; )

There's no clear distinction between the two. Some of the arcane, technical aspects can frighten the heck out of new users, so there's a forum for the real down and dirty stuff. Posts and responses are sporadic. Sometimes it'll be really quiet, then you'll get a flood of posts. If you post something technical in the regular Poser forum, you have a better chance at getting a response, but also a better chance of getting very general answers and people popping in to ask about your question: "Since you asked about MAT files, what are they, anyway?" type posts. If you ask something non-technical in the Poser Technical Forum, you'll most likely either be ignored or politely told that you'd be better off posting in the general Poser Forum. Otherwise, ask away. As long as it isn't something like, "How do I crack Poser's security?" there won't be any major snit fits. ;-) Cheers!

Well, the tech forum is really for the more arcane aspects of poser hacking and modification, but all sorts of questions pop up there (and get answered too). I check the tech forum on a daily basis, then come here. Not that I'm great at answering tech Qs, but mainly so I can learn something. If I have a question that involves something off the wall, I'd be more likely to post it in the tech forum. You may get more readers here, but it doesn't mean you'll get an answer. I guess poser is poser is poser and you could post anywhere. At the worst, post it in both fora. Copy/paste is cheap. LOL. mac

PS What the hail is the question anyway? My curiosity is piqued. mac

heyas; i always stop by the techie forum. hmmmm, maybe i should learn from mac and go THERE first instead of here. cuz i'm usually the one trying to politely kick out the non-technical-questions over there ;) if it isn't REALLY geeky, and it has some practical use, you can post here. i'm sure the poser techno geeks visit this forum, too. :) (and it's fun scaring 'regular' poser people! just check out dodgers thread on... um... well, i can't remember what it was about exactly, but it was REAL techincal and jargonal. ;D )

'maybe i should learn from mac' ROTF! The idea of bloodsong learning from me is scary! mac

How do you crack Poser's security? You stick a gun in it's ribs and tell it to hand over the keys :-)
