FYI Ron: I saw this thread then asked Valandar if he thought that this looked like an ad as well. After seeing it in the product showcase as well. I believe it is an ad. As a merchant we have rules to follow. One of them is ads aren't welcome in this forum. We dont make the rules. These rules were made because people in the community felt the ads in the forum were excessive. The same thing goes with the poser gallery. Some of my renders are artistic enough that they could be placed in the poser gallery. Since I used items that were going to be released to the store (and weren't available) they were posed in the product showcase. If you dont like the rules you are more than welcome to voice your opinion in the forum news forum.
