Wow, necroed thread. None the less I don't think this issue is just DAZ. DAZ has such fanatical followers that DAZ is even convinced they can do no wrong. No matter what proof you have they will scof at it and say you are wrong. When followers popup to justafy DAZ selling a work around for a bug they could fix, what do you expect?

But hey, don't worry, I doubt there will be a C9, or a studio 5 for that matter. DAZ is strickly a content broker now, like RuntimeDNA and Poserworld. I honestly don't think DAZ is developing anything any more. It miraculess we got C8.5; even though serveral features were borked in the release that worked in the beta. 8 months with out a fix leads me to beleive DAZ nolonger has a developmental staff.
