I'll be looking elsewhere, since I made it very clear in the questionnaire that I liked the old interface and library...  <<<<

This coming from someone that got Poser 8 for $1.99 in a First Friday Bazaar sale?

(sigh) Sometimes you just can't win.

Quote - All I am saying is that Poser 8 is more troublesome than any previous version.
I have never had reason to worry about whether or not things would improve or not. all has been great for Me until now..

Smith Micro have done a great job with ALL versions of Poser,  until release 8 .

I have had less issues with Poser 8 than I had when I went from Poser 5 to Poser 6. I still use Poser 7 and Poser 6, but I have been mostly using Poser 8. I think SM did a great job with Poser 8 and getting us some updates (SR1).

Most issues people are having with P8 I think is due to either using an older driver for their graphics card. I had issues prior to updating my GC Driver at a new version and I have had no crashes what so ever.

I often keep the older versions just to be sure.
But, since Poser 8, I never returned to Poser 7. So it got deleted.
I am satisfied, OK, it is not perfect, but solutions are on the way.
Use the normal channels to report bugs, and they will be looked upon.
File a ticket to SM, but ?
Be complete, specific, steps to reproduce, etc..

Only a reproducable problem can be solved.
Coming from P7, was it a valuable upgrade? oh, yes. . .

And a new question.  How well does Poser 8 play with the new Windows 7 system?  Hubbie is about to upgrade Windows and I currently have Poser 6.  He is considering upgrading my Poser at the same time.  Has anyone yet had any issues with either version of Poser under the new Windows system?

It plays very nicely 8-)
