I have been using Poser4 for many years. The reason was two-fold. One, its rock solid. It never crashes. Two, I could not afford a new computer to keep up with the latest versions since Poser went to OS X (Macintosh).

In late 2006, I purchased Poser7 in the hopes that I'd get a new computer soon. That didn't happen. One financial disaster after another.

Then I finally was able to purchase an Intel Mac Mini. With great trepidation and sweaty palms I loaded Poser7.

And I've been completely blown away by the speed of file loading and saving, zippy renders, and the ability to place files anywhere I want without having to hack each and every .cr2! And there is so much more in this program that I haven't tapped into yet!

All I just want to say is a great BIG, Thank You!! for all the hard work!!

That is a great outlook. I think we forget that someone(s) did the hard work to make a ________ for me/us to enjoy.  I would also like to say thanks for some awesome stuff as well.

Elfwine - Thanks for the reminder on good maners.

Thanx SM & crew :) I am happy to have Poser, and all the fun that comes with it.    

Thanx Elfwine, your post made this day a little brighter. :biggrin:

I started with Poser 3 and continually upgraded to Poser 8.  I also bought a loaded PC last year, Dell.  The first subtle problems started in Poser 7, V4 eye lids, crashing with morph tool in face camera.  No big deals.  Poser 8 has been a disaster for me. I have to go to Poser 7 to modify skin textures for V4.   I have lost hours of work with white screen program failures and occasional blue screens.  Just a slip of the finger when using the mouse can do it.  Or, one yesterday was deleting figures then changing cameras.  They come from all over the place, nothing consistent except for the Cloth room when trying to redo a saved dynamic.  My computer can handle Poser 2010, but a tech at SM told me my problems were because I was using DAZ figures and could expect more problems as I moved on with Poser.  I use DAZ figures 80% of the time.  After all these years, DAZ Studio would be a huge investment in time to learn.  Everyone here seems to be fine with Poser 8 and Poser Pro 2010.  Any of you people using a new Dell?  Is it my computer?  I thought Dell  straightened its problems out.  I love what I can do with Poser.  I wish there was a solution.

Yes and no as to the Content being a cause. Yes, if you do not adjust your settings when using DAZ3D Figures, especially the newer figures.

Contact Support and Site Mail me the Incident and I will help you with those settings. It should not be an issue, if the content is installed correctly for your OS and the settings are correct.

 Sorry to read you are having so many problems Nauerth, I hope they can be sorted out quickly so you can get back to enjoying this wonderful hobby.

Thank you very much Ratscloset for stepping up to the plate to help a fellow Poser user!  :D
