I forgot about the localhost=::1 problem myself. It should have been included in the Poser release notes under known issues, since it came up in beta testing Poser 8, and it is a common misconfiguration of the operating system.
I wrote about it twice in 2009:
It's interesting that using the word "localhost" to target the local communication facility is the "right" thing to do, but because Microsoft screwed up the configs, it is now the wrong approach. I don't use the word anymore in any software I write - I now explicitly say 127.0.0.1, even though that artificially constrains my program to require Internet Protocol V4 (IP V4) and therefore someday it will break.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
