I agree with all the above. Folder names, however - I don't care about them, I rename everything anyway. But file names MUST be unique - not 'Pose 1, Pose 2' etc. Call them 'Johnny Sit 1, Johnny Sit 2' etc. I also want to add - Merchants: Make sure that your images are well composed, posed and lit - a little professionalism in the execution of your presentation goes a LONG way. If a thumb for a new product is lousy, I tend to ignore it. If the larger images are lousy, I tend to give them a quick look, and if the presentation is bad, I come to the (logical) assumption that if this merchant can't even present the product right, they can hardly have made it right. I just don't have faith in the product, since I don't have faith in the merchant. Sloppiness is unacceptable if you want to sell. So if you haven't bothered to correct English or spell check, you have hardly bothered to create usable products. Just think: if a major manufacturer of software were to misspell the name of their new app, would anyone dare buy the stupid thing? I don't think so. Just imagine if Windows XP had been called Widnose XP...... And don't give me nonsense about being bad at spelling. We're talking commercial quality here. Remember, your competitors are people like DAZ. Spell check in a word processor or ask someone else for help.... Then there's the problem of all the irrelevant little doodads that get sold for $5 or $8, stuff that is fine as a freebie but just wastes space in the Marketplace, bringing down the overall quality level. I get the feeling sometimes that the people who run the Marketplace don't have any kind of quality check at all.... The place turns into a flea market if it is allowed to. Don't get me wrong, I love good stuff at a low price, but there are SO MANY bits and pieces in the Marketplace that just don't belong there, from people who've never given way a freebie. And remember, fellow Posers - where does this 'home from home', Renderosity, have its origins? It was originally a primitive forum for people who loved to use Poser, and gave away to each other, both advice and freebies. The marketplace was a much later invention, to finance the running of the place. So NEVER tell me that we should be thankful for the freebies - they are the reason this place exists at all. I've been here since way before it was called Renderosity. Enough ranting. Disagree with me if you dare! (You're welcome to, I love a good debate) :] FishNose
