Nobody, and I mean NOBODY reads FAQs before asking questions. We'd do better just to be patient, as everyone has been. As far as Hefty Forums go, I'm sure Jack and the Gang will clean it all up before it gets silly. If this place turned into a "REad the Gdd*mned FAQ!!!" type place, I would be sad. But I do respect the thought that went into the idea. If only the world were ideal...sigh -Darth "Might just change his name to Jedi" Logice
I don't know, it's a valid idea e.g. I came across that problem with the black marks on a model after using UVmapper. now I KNOW it's been mentioned before, but it'll take a fair bit of digging to find it, or waiting for someone to tell me again so I'd welcome a faq which would give me easy access. what might be an idea is have the forum admins able to add a thread to the faq, and title it "answer to this question" so the faq page would just be a collection of indexed links to different threads but one big faq page could be useful, like a huge knowledge database without having to dig through the forum SewerRat
Well thats not entirely what I meant and sewer Rat has a good idea. Maybe like a top ten, along those lines (I enjoy stimulating web forum discussions not unlike this one). I do tech support online and it gets boring with same old questions and we use an FAQ for a more comprehensive answer to a reoccurring question (with links either to refer to a tutorial or too another resources). I read this forum long before I ever posted here, but do you know how much fun (and time consuming) it is to wade through over 3000 messages. Not to mention when you do post and get an answer and they say oh I remember that question a few posts back...you should read that one it had a great answer (wade, wade, bandwidth, wade). Isnt that the same thing as check the FAQ? At least with an FAQ I dont have to dig and if I dont find the answer then I check the boards then I post. The poser FAQ (that is linked here) is not the same thing as there is no mention of current trends. Possibly a dated index of issues or categories like poses, hair importing etc. (and dont say search engine) would work. Remember this is only a suggestion.
OK, I did it now and it works PERFECT !!! :-) I think this a very good solution for the intial problem - just type in a good keyword and get all related posts in seconds. Just one additional question: Is it possible to extend the search to all forums? A Poser related question might as well be answered somewhere in "Technical", and currently you have to hop to every single forum and type in the same keyword again and again.
Yes, Ha! Hurray! Well,... Hmm,... you will probably want to kill me for the this next one, but... ...the global search seems to search the first post only, and no replies, and I just thought... OK, OK, OK, enough is enough, you're right! I'm perfectly happy with my mile, no need to have it much larger... All the best to you, MartinC
I have considered exanding the current one, but just don't get around to it. The trans mapped hair is one that I intend to add real soon now, as soon as I pass the ACRC exam. I try to rework it from time to time, but not as much as I used to, when I had time to do more poser work. One trick is what is wanted? I only get about one message a month from the FAQ, so I don't feel an overwhelming urge to fix it up to stop this.

I know this would be daunting...but how about an FAQ written by some of the more experienced users. i.e. what is the cosmo hair, where can I find Koyko Hair, when is the patch out? Just a suggestion but this might help to clear out some past older strings as this is getting to be a hefty forum. Keep up the good work all ;)
