Bobbie_Boucher My initial intention was to elicit opinions about outright commercial advertisements posted by merchants in the Poser gallery instead of in the Product Showcase forum or gallery. Maybe I did not word it clear enough but that is why I did not include the merchants name or link to the image and I tried to avoid doing so in my various responses However, the thread seemed to focus on the specific image that prompted my post I understand that with our practice of giving product credit, both free and commercial, many images can be considered advertising as you said and Im OK with that. That image however is a pure, simple and unmistakable advertisement to BUY MY PRODUCT by the merchant of that product and did not belong in the Poser gallery. If you want to see the image, it is now where it belongs, the link is above. Oddly enough, I like that image but it was just in the wrong place. I think the reason it has so many more views than other images in that gallery is that the count carried over from when it was in the Poser gallery. I guess the merchants strategy worked
