I think they figured that out for at least the people that responded on the two threads, what percentage that is to the number that use the boards is I have no idea. I think the bigger issue is we were all putting up with the previous ads they were using, I didn't like them but it never drove me to use an ad blocker. This did. And the danger of a two week test is how many others it drives to the same decisions because once those things are installed, they knock out all third party ads, not just the info links ones. So if and when they revert back they are going to be facing diminished viewing. Since the Info link ads are not appearing on the Marketplace, my assumption is they are trying to pay for the costs of hosing the forums and galleries, which is legitimate. Info-links is too intrusive though to be a good solution.

You need an ad blocker not a pop up blocker dragongirl. I'm using Firefox with the Ghostery add-in. I imagine Chrome has something available like it also. Before deleting tracking cookies does any good you first have to delete the source of the cookies ;)

Yep, it sure did. It knocked out all the Rendo side banner ads. I suggest you might want to cut the test short, and make sure we all know about it. The blocker stays on until it's gone.

Just added an ad blocker to firefox, It might knock out some other ads here also. Too bad. Let me know when the test is over.

As far as the tracking cookies: At the end of two weeks when the test is over delete your cookies. Actually that is probably a good thing to do on a daily basis when you shut down the browser anyway. Don't know about phones, I assume you can do the same thing there. I rarely browse the internet on my phone.

Guys, this is a shopping site. I am buying from you. If you distract me with ads from other places the best you can hope for is that I will not be annoyed so much I stop coming. Worst case is you convince me to spend money with somebody else I would have spent with you.

Is that really worth the extra cents you get per click? Why are you even considering it? Does Walmart run ads for McDonald's on their TV screens?

I'm still seeing the banner, not seeing the prices. Item has to be at least 60 days old, which is sort of expected. Sale is good through tomorrow night, so they may just have a bug to iron out.

I generally don't go back to the templates myself, I just load the jpg the prop is currently using into phtoshop then add what I want over it in layers. There are sometimes secondary pictures used for other channels you need to change also, if the diffuse map doesn't do what you want you have to go look for them. They are in the same place on the surfaces tab.

The extra discount on the winter deals alone was worth it to me. As with any of these "buyers clubs" how much worth you get on them depends on how often you buy ;)

Do a search for "Messy Hair" both here and at DAZ, it brings up some likely ones. Also Bedhead over at DAZ is a good one.

QTCore4.dll isn't actually a DAZ file, it's a C++ library file. Windows loads system components with it. If I had to bet, I'd say you have a version of it somewhere on your computer that doesn't match what DAZ is expecting. I'd do a scan for that file on your computer, and if you find multiple copies, send DAZ the information on what the version numbers are and where they are stored on the machine (the directories). With DLL's, the first one to be loaded wins, so if you have multiple versions what program you are running will determine which one is loaded in memory which can make it tough to track down the problem.

This product over at DAZ looks like it might do what you want: Teeth Master Control for Genesis 8 Female

Can't do a direct link to it here. While it gives you lots of options for bad dentistry It looks like it can remove the tooth completely and just show gum from the previews. As usual, wait for a sale ;)

I thought these were interesting, the store however says they are only for Poser, and with more recent character rigging I have had some problems getting stand alone Poser characters to load in DAZ. Have these been tested in DAZ Studio and do they work? Since they all come with their own clothing and are basically Toons, they don't need to be Genesis based, I want to make sure they don't distort when posing though.

Rendering in IRAY with no GPU support and 8 gigs of system RAM? You're a braver man than I am Gunga Din.

I got a rush of SMS messages through a bit ago so it may be fixed. Or they may still be working on it shrug I don't think the rep I was talking to was Tier 3 support by any means.
