I have no issues with the search engine we have right now; it seems to handle my needs pretty well. But clearly it's something other folks want addressed, so maybe it's time for it to get a little spruce-up. OT posts? No. Emphatically. This is a Poser forum that receives scores of new posts every day. If one really wants to share news about one's new job or one's new baby, there should be (and probably is already) a community forum for such things. This is about Poser, remember? I realize income drives this site, but can we do something about the constant barrage of banner ads? (The supposedly-WIP "oh look at my new character up for sale next week" posts vaguely skirt the issue, but we could definitely use a tighter hand on those, guys.) I've watched as this place has gone from a community to roughly the equivalent of WalMart, and it's not pretty, okay? I know where the store is -- you make that clear on the home page -- and if I want to buy something, I'll go there. But when I'm here, it's to find information. If that makes the forum seem cold, well, so be it. There's probably a "general community" forum around here somewhere -- and if not, perhaps it's time to start one.
