wim, I've done 10+ years of content and now geting closer to 15 years.  I am well aware of the examples - I'm not discrediting what you are illustrating with your post...

I'm also an end user (I do purchase and use content made by others).  If you purchased content, you don't have to leave it as is.  I think we often, as end users, customize content to suit our needs.  I just am illustrating a means to make it work more flexibly by just saving it and reloading it.  And there are no guarantees that it will work for every single thing out there, just something that can be tried...

New versions of Poser should absolutely support old hacks/methods/yadda, if possible.  I didn't infer that either.  I've done quite a few of those hacks myself. :)
