sure... but I was wondering about 'vanity folders' I mean, every merchant I buy from has folders for their items, usually their name or the name of their company, then the name of the item, in the right Poser directories, of course. Its not anything weird or strange to put your free items in a named folder that's reserved for just your free items... I keep my free props consolidated in the same folder so people can find them easily. (hey, so I can find them easily... too! and keep them separate from all the other stuff that's not mine, this is important when I am creating things!) If you want to rearrange your folders and consolidate... that's fine. I consolidate too. But I can't know how everyone else consolidates, everyone does it different, therefore I have to consolidate my free items in the best way I know how... and that's to put them in a folder that's for my free items only, in the correct Poser directories. Every reputable merchant I've seen does this and I think Lucy has a method that works for her, but doesn't work for me as I find it confusing to find my original artworks interspersed with all the things that aren't mine. I would constantly get them mixed up with items that are not mine, and forget eventually where they are located. (she herself said that she 'forgets' where things come from... so it should be understandable why I don't do this...) I don't disagree with the rest... anyway as I generally don't like to distribute addons but prefer to do stand-alone items, I don't have to worry about Joe Blogg's model not being available anymore for my texture... g And I pay for my own hosting, so the broken links part is taken care of too. That's mainly a problem with free sites that break links to items with high bandwidth.
