beautiful image! She's very cute :)

Welcome Max!! Good luck with the graphics!

Congrats Xurge! If your not already, you'll be wrapped very tighty around that tiny finger in the next 30 seconds... My daughter is now 7 and I have yet to unwrap myself!! Sabrina is beautiful :) Cheers, Styxx

Fantastic textures Fy! Wow! I really like those ones!

Sadly, about the only way to fix that is in postwork. I use a smudge brush in Photoshop to "rebuld" the elbow. It's just one of Posers little quirks.. Cheers, Styxx

I have a friend that is in the workings of setting up a server on a T1 line. He will be offering 100mg drive space with unlimited bandwidth, and remote linking will be allowed.. He is thinking of charging $15.00 a moth for the 100mg. Anyone intrested can email me for more details as I get them from him :) Just thought I would let ya know :)) Cheers!

ahh! sorry for the rant then :( guess I jumped the gun a bit...

No prob Russ, Thanks for taking care of that so quick! I am planning on putting all my free stuff back in soon. I'd hate to see this html linking ruined again :) Cheers Styxx

i do agree that if the product won't work well on a mac, then it should say so in the description. the same way we let ppl know they need posette or vickie, or a certain clothing pack, et cetera. the feedback really is a tool, but it's secondary function is to let the consumer know that yes, others have purchased and yes, are satisfied with the item. if those who leave feedback are saying they are not satisfied, then it lets the vendor know there are specific issues, and lets him/her rectify it asap. once the problem is fixed, the negative feedback becomes a non-issue. hence, it doesn't need to be publicized. it seems so logical to me. yes, i guess it does have a side benefit of an advert. so does word of mouth advertising, or someone walking down the street with a pack of mcdonald's fries or a can of coke, or anything with a product name on it. these folk don't mean to advertise for the company, but they are. it's not a DISservice to potential buyers when providing as much product information as possible, but a service... my wife recently made a large purchase online. she read the literature available at the site she was purchasing from, read their testimonials. then she went and researched for unsolicited testimonials of this product, found they were positive for the main part, and went ahead with the purchase. (that's the thing too... the feedback left is unsolicited, left by those who felt like sharing their opinion.) people here could do that too. don't just take the word of the vendor, the feedback, or the beta testers' comments. talk to people who've used the product and ask if it's any good or not. of course, any questions could also be directed to the vendor on matters such as mac compatibility, or versatility for use with other characters. i am personally confident enough in my products that i could agree to automatic feedback - i just know it wouldn't work, because instead of contacting the vendor with a legitimate complaint, there would be those who slam certain vendors out of spite. i sell here because i need to, so i can't afford my business to fall off because of some troll. off topic a wee: mosca, i'd always have room for one more tester, since i do only have the one mac tester. IM me if you're interested.

the feedback was designed as a tool to let the vendor know of any problems. there was a thread about this before, and i'll say the same thing i said then: you won't see nike saying "buy our product even though it gives you blisters, blah blah" or ANY other company advertising their flaws. (if you have something negative to say about a product and you want to let everyone else know out of concern and not spite, and if the vendor doesn't help you to resolve the problem, an easy way to do this is make a picture using the item, then post in the gallery, explaining the problem. a picture, after all, says a thousand words, right?) of course you won't see a vendor posting a negative remark... if i ever got one, i wouldn't either. that's just bad business! especially when y'all know yourselves, there are store trolls just as there are gallery trolls. don't misunderstand me here, i'm not saying anyone that's posted above is a troll, i'm just saying that there are trolls out there who love to bash someone - anyone. if this sounds harsh, then i apologise sincerely... my customers are happy, and i do everything i can to keep them that way. i have one beta tester that runs a mac, which is why i put my items as "pc/mac"... but saying that even though it says "pc only" it should work is like saying a dvd should work in a vcr :) if you see the pc only, and still buy it for your mac, then you are taking your chances. and i do agree, pilothugh, that they should all be .zips not .exe's... and i agree, martin was awesome to share the converter with everyone! oh, and those products with no feedback... i've got some of those too, and it's not because the item isn't good, or whatnot, it's just that it takes time for a person to leave feedback, and a lot of people have so little time. i admit i have a lot of products in the store, with little feedback available. but i get most of my feedback by IM, email, or repeat business.

mehndi: i didn't confuse the two guilds. i was tired, but still not that stupid. i'm saying this: POST#30"Invitation Only? Why NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I would NEVER be involved in anything like that, ever ever ever. " you are/were involved in the in-house guild, and proud and supportive of it in the beginning. this guild is by-invitation-only, sales-related membership, so this above statement by you is hypocrisy. (the in-house guild really has no goals, which i think could be remedied without too many problems.) and ABSOLUTELY NOT, would i EVER ask for details on something so private, mehndi. it was none of the public's business (until you made oblique references about it to the public). i don't expect to have to share private business with others, nor do i expect it in return. why you were removed from your "office", i truly, truly don't even care. but the way you've referred to it makes people distrust the administration. russ and tim and the rest are good people, overall, faced with a difficult job. they've never broken the faith with me, and until/if they do, i won't break it with them. that's really all i care to say on that. if that's naive of me, so be it :) and i still agree with questor, who says basically everything i want to say, only better.

i'm going to bed, so any posts regarding my posts aren't being ignored... i will respond if it's necessary :) boy, the temptation's there to say lots more, but... well, dammit, i WILL hold my tongue (fingers G) until tomorrow. peace, and good night!

where to begin.... this is a monster thread, and i became aware of it because there is a link to it posted in the merchant's forum. i guess i'll start there. merchants don't do anything terribly interesting in that forum. honest! it's mainly as (sorry, so many posts ago, i can't remember now G) someone has stated above: vendors questioning admins on if the item they've uploaded 8 days ago is in pending/testing/whatever...or calls for beta testers among other merchants.... or, oh goodness, a cry for help on something. so. nothing sinister. but none of the public's business, either. it's our BUSINESS, our job, our own financial affairs. you wouldn't offer tidbits of personal information to a stranger on the street, about your bottom line, or business practices. why should we? just because y'all can't see and you want to? sorry. poppi? i'm not a terrorist, and i do resent the implication, even if you didn't mean it how it reads :) there are problems with the store, it's not perfect. but i happen to like it better than DAZ, because it's about money, yes, but it's also about community. it is!!! letting people submit stuff to the store, even though it's not the best of the best of the best, sir, is good! the stuff might be bad, but then they don't sell. the good stuff still sells. it's the consumer who seperates the wheat from the chaff, no matter if it's online or not. instead of starting a new guild, efforts should be made to refine and perfect our community. we have great resources here, and so many talented people! i don't want to say anything i'll regret here, so bear with me, please. i've been a member, for a long time. i am not boasting about that, but i have been. i have always been more of a silent active member though, and i've tried very very hard not to step on anyone's toes. if i had a penny for every time i've refrained from saying something, because i knew it would eventually turn around and bite my ass, i wouldn't need to sell anything here G i've made lots of friends here, but more importantly, (as far as i know) i haven't made any enemies. i have probably clashed with mehndi more than anyone else here, though there are no hard feelings on either side... (and mehndi, this whole post that i'm writing is not directed entirely to you, okay? G i do support the quality issue) so, with that said, i'll move on to the guild. i agree wholeheartedly with quality standards. just look at my store, and you'll know this is true. i am not one of the "biggies" here, though i am well known to some. there was a statement made (i'm really sorry, mehndi, but i think we are going to disagree YET again G), about the "little in-house version of a guild" here, and how certain someones would NEVER be part of that, ever ever ever. um, forgive me, but i thought you WERE part of it, and were quite proud and supportive of it, when it first started. i am a member of the 'rosity guild. so? it's not a horrible elitest society, but then, nor is it a true guild. i've already made my thoughts on that public, so i won't reiterate them here, because my fingers are already getting really sore . this new "by the artists for the artists" guild... what do i think of it? well... a couple of things really. Questor has it bang on when he says that the existing infrastructure should be used. it's so true! i honestly don't want to send my stuff for extra testing just to get a seal of approval by people i may/may not respect (and a side note: blind testing? impossible! readme's have artist's names, and are necessary... duh). the idea of copying an existing sale item and making one for freestuff to hurt that person's sales is incredibly abhorrent to me. that's all i'm going to say about that, because i can feel my temper slipping it's leash. if a person, like myself, has already established a rep for quality items, but doesn't send to this guild for their approval seal.... does their stuff suddenly become shit? to those loyal customers, no. but to any new ppl looking, probably. so, in essence, if i want to keep selling, i must bow down and grovel for yet more approval. it's putting vendors between a rock and a hard place, and i for one, refuse to be so bullied. i'm not saying i won't take part in this guild, but i'm not saying i will either. it depends on how it's run, and who's running it. because we all know, (and if you don't, clue in!) that it's not going to be an equal thing here. a guild can't be, there is a hierarchy, no matter how candy coated it is. if the guildmaster is anyone other than someone i know i can trust implicitly, then it's not something i'll take part in, even if my sales do drop. i could say lots more on this, but i promised myself i wouldn't :) i can see this whole thing getting out of control, and quickly. i can see it causing more problems than it's hoping to resolve. helen, dear friend, you are braver than i, and i highly respect you. you once said that you were honoured to call me friend, and i now return that to you twofold! bravo, dear :) finally, i trust the administration of this site enough that for a moderator to lose their position, it would have to be very serious, and that there is much more to the tale than is being volunteered - by anyone. mehndi, i'm sorry you've lost that position, because you have always tried to help people... but i will trust the admin's decisions until and unless every aspect is revealed. oh! and about the pricing? i don't know anyone who was told to change the price of their goods... i was encouraged once to raise the price of one of my characters, and i didn't... though i sure wish i had listened! the store staff are in a unique position, where they can see trends, and can speculate on what the market can bear. because i didn't raise the price, i underpriced one of my later characters, lost lots of sales because of it, and was flamed for starting a "price war". if it has happened that someone more than encouraged, it was very wrong. it should have been brought to russ or tim's attention at the time, so to become a non-issue. pariah... are you sure our daughters aren't twins? G mine has done stuff like that, and i laffed my butt off reading about yours! she sounds absolutely precious! okay. enough for now. there's SO much more that i want to say, but since i had to type the word 'much' 4 times before getting it right G, i think i'm done for tonight. it's waaaay past my bedtime.

Outstanding Russ! With all the "free" sites limiting remote linking these days, that is a welcome change!
