"What does "bookmark" mean, and what is not permissible on this forum? Please explain." Bookmark is just a term used when a member wants to receive update notices on a specific thread - new postings in the thread causes the site Ebot to send notices to all posters in the thread. Any posts in the main Poser Forum that contain references to an impending or possible product development are considered commercial posts (even when they include no actual info about a specific product), and a certain subset of the general membership jump on it as a violation of the TOS (Terms of service). There's a separate forum called "Product Showcase Forum" (see link in masthead above) created for such posts some time back when strident and tediously repetitive complaints from some members that their personal freedoms were being compromised by being subjected to such info in the main Poser Forum got too energy-draining for the Site administration to ignore. A lot of members have run afoul of the rules regarding product announcements and had their threads moved. It's not personal, but it's an old issue and some sore feelings about it exist. fyi - If it's an inquiry on developing a resource for personal use or for eventual release as a freebie, there's no conflict with posting here. A lot of members (myself included) find it a silly non-issue, and either don't care or would prefer it all to be in the Poser Forum, but many, either from some "sour grapes" feelings, or personal control issues, or ???? seem to enjoy jumping on such things and creating an issue. . . .just my 2 cents worth, opposing opinions encouraged and inevitable . . .
