Ok, thanks.  The first one was deleted, so I re-posted it, and it looks like it stuck.  I certainly didn't mean to offend, eg I've spent hundreds of dollars at Daz, and here too, and RDNA and CP, and so as a person new to rendering, I was just interested in getting a dialogue started, to help D|S users who were frustrated (apparently at a hyperion bar set, having no textures in D|S, but did in P7)..

So since I saw many users being frustrated at the shortcomings of D|S, I thought I'd try and be helpful by recommending the better program, which is P7...not at the expense of D|S, which is certainly "cute", but rather to help them solve their problems by getting the superior platform.

Kind of like if you saw a bunch of Win98 users in a forum, today, talking about how limited the o/s was, and I came along and said "hey try win2k or xp instead, it's better"...

The more open, candid dialogue we have about things, the better we are.  I am not a big fan of people deleting honest, open posts in forums, or in trying to censor things, as long as they're not offensive/derogatory, which my posts weren't, I believe.  When people delete my posts I tend to avoid spending money at their sites, and recommend the same to others.    Overall it hasn't been a problem, I was just curious as to why this happened over there, and I didn't get an answer from their mods.  

I've adminned 7 forums myself, so I appreciate the need to be sensitive and professional with your users, and respect your customers.

Thanks for the insights!
