Quote - Ideally Nuts n Bolts should be for content questions, and application-specific questions should go in the application forum - though of course until the answer to the question is known it will often be unclear which is which. But we've always been lax about enforcing that (which is why just about every kind of thread ends up in the Commons). Getting the new Poser forum off to a vigorous start was the main idea, so people know it's there. (Sorry, Jen, I realise this is a bit far OT.)
After a night's sleep, some posts from Mods at Daz and your input here Richard, I'll revise what I was saying earlier. I hope this isn't outside the topic of this thread because it does illustrate a long-running problem with Daz - good intentions but poor communication.
I took offense unnecessarily at the moving of a post to the Poser thread from Nuts & Bolts. Seeing how other things are being moved there I can now see what the mods are trying to do and I've obviously misunderstood the intent.
However - wouldn't it have been better to have a post in the Commons for a week or so explaining the new policy of moving threads into the correct areas, and suggesting where certain threads should go? It's a small thing, but it saves misunderstandings and it is seen as a courtesy.
So pointing back at Randall (and getting back on topic for this thread) - please suggest that the people running the forums just take the time to let us all know when something is changing, or in this case when something that used to be in force is now being re-introduced. It stops people jumping to conclusions (often the wrong ones, particularly when a lot of us Poser users are feeling pretty touchy about things right now).
