lmckenzie, The nice thing about the freestuff area at 3dcommune is that the author has plenty of room to describe what exactly is included, what is needed if it goes with something else, a warning about large file sizes for the folks on dialup, or even a reference as to his sources for folks who appreciate authenticity. The pop-up window has two other advantages: you can leave instant feedback for the creator, so they can hear of both praise and problems, and it probably foils those mass downloaders who strip a site of everything. I just thought of another advvantage: some people have had difficulty getting thumbnails posted. If you saw a file named "Tiffany" here, with no thumbnail, you wouldn't know whether you were getting a hair model, a skin texture, or a lampshade... and so probably wouldn't download it at all. If the creator has room for a description, they can get around that problem. Carolly
