Ouch. Not a fair observation, but heck, this is Rendo.

Check out my blog post about the various ways we get the word out. Automatic notification will be turned on later this week.

Well, It does say pretty much the same thing I did in my post.

Quote - Lastly, as we can schedule it, a mailing is distributed to those that opt-in to recieve information from SMSI.

Why notify registered users last at some later date. I think it's great that you post here in the forum and I would hate to be the one blamed that you quit because of something I said. But why do we have to chase to other sites like facebook? Or am I the only one that does not use that kind of stuff and the only one that does not have thier main computers connected to the net.

I would think that, as a registered user, I would be sent a courtesy mail first or at least second after posting in these forums. Within 24hr period. I take it that those of us pro users that bought into the buy P8 beta 2010 thing will only know if we chase down those blog sites?

Lot's of odd italicizations happening - weird...

If you pay attention to the forums, and I've a hunch you do, you'll always know first, because that's the nature of forums and online info - instant distribution. Then once you've downloaded it, you won't get the in-app update notice when it goes live. Email is our last notification stage, too many chances for it to get filtered, lost, ignored, it's not very effective. The very best system has been the in-app notification. And by a huge majority, our users have internet access on their Poser machine. We wait to turn on the in-app system until the installers have proven they are playing nicely.
