Quote - Do we need a reality check, enduring and supporting such a crappy product?

Don't give up on Poser.  Love Poser, even while you hate it.  :lol:  But do tell Smith Micro about your problems and dissatisfaction.  I worked with their technical support personnel for about a month, trying to get Poser 8 to work properly on my system.  Most of the problems were solved, and they were quite helpful, as far as it went.  Unfortunately, a couple of issues remain which they couldn't explain.  They told me there was nothing more they could do, and closed my incident ticket, stating that no one had reported any problems like mine without an obvious cause for the problem.

So we all need to report our problems to them, to be sure they're advised of everything that's going wrong with Poser 8.  Otherwise, there may be more like myself who are turned away because we seem to be a negligible minority.  Serious issues which don't affect everyone may never be corrected.

My remaining problems seem likely to be linked to the new library process.  Something about that new library is seemingly ill-conceived or very badly handled.

SM did seem to state pretty clearly that there will be at least one more Service Release for Poser 8.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
