hi hi!!

and welcome to the forums - truly.

just for the record, i think you are doing a fabulous job in your post to me with spelling and vocabulary. and you are probably correct in terms of 'culture' if you were referring to this forum vs. a gamers forum. i've never been on one of those, but i imagine that they can be quite chatty and pokey good fun, loud and rowdy, and there's nothing wrong with that. there IS humour here, too, but i suspect that the crowd here is more serious-minded, technical and trying to learn, or be more studious, so quite a different culture to be sure.

and i understand about feeling hesitant to post to ask for help. like you, i usually try to do heaps of research on my own before i think about asking anyone for help. i'm kinda shy tho', but still, i get 'it'. there have been times where i simply gave up because i could find no answer on my own, and i can honestly say that is NOT the way to go because it prevents one from learning and growing. so good on you for coming to the right conclusion TO ask for help, regardless of how it was phrased.

as i said, i don't know how to help you with your Poser issue [maybe i could have had i been more interactive here over these many years]. but i do have hope that even if the first few things suggested to you do not work, that some answer could be forthcoming.

oh, and i'm not spanking you or anything when i say this, but that's the other thing: because of the title to this thread, some folks who might have an answer might not bother because it might be perceived as negative, and they might avoid it altogether - just a thought that occurred to me. they might pop in though, so i'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.

go get some sleep. you must be quite frazzled.
