I am speaking for myself now. It's a conumdrum. I write reviews on software, post a notice in the pertinent forum or don't post a notice in the forum and sometimes the review is ignored. Month later, someone will find it on my website and tell everyone. But, it was on Renderosity all along and still is in the archives.

I would love to see communication between the forums and the Front Page. In a few weeks, I will post the pre-release review of Genetica 2.5 Pro. If the full release is available, I will supstitute it and make changes where necessaruy. It is a dynamight upgrade and free to licensed users of Genetica 2.

If someone wants to give me their name, I will be happy to tell them a little before the week that it goes up. On the other hand, I will mention that a specific forum will be discussing it. I can do that on a lot of the tutorials I write and the reviews. But I would not want to lose the readers opinions section and have everthing transfer to a forum. That would be my only concern.

I do agree definately to check with Dee-Marie about this, but unless I am missing a protocol somewhere, I can't foresee a problem.

What a great idea. How wonderfully creative. Thanks for sharing.

One of the import types for Xfrog is vob. Renderosity store carries the Xfrog DVDs and Xfrog lists the trees in their collections. The DVDs have many import types on them.

We just put up part 1 of my tutorial on lighting with Poser6 on the front page. It describes lighting in general and, then, treats it from a different angle using coordinates for the placement of lights. Even though using the dials for rotation and placement might be hard at first, I find that it gives me excellent control of lights.

I read through the threads everyday and I did not see people condoning piracy. What I saw both here and on the front page were some very excellent suggestions for how companies could combat it, lower costs of software, and discourage piracy without creating all the problems that can exist when software has so many protection schemes that they can hinder its use by legitimate licensees.

To save a light set open up the panel on the right that has hair, figure, lights, etc. Click on lights where all the sets are stored. At the bottom is a plus sign. If you hover over it, it says add light sets. That is all you have to do. Name it so you can differentiate it and it should appear correctly. If it doesn't, let me know. Then, I think, it should be automatically stored in your runtime folder where the other light sets are unless you have put them elsewhere. You might need to check on this.

Yes, there is a way. You can save a light set the same way you can save a figure. It's been a while since I have done it so I'll go into poser and do it and let you know how.

Hi Acadia - I noticed this thread. I also mainly use white light in Poser. All color settings are the same whether 100% or less.

Thanks Ardiva, I am going to definately move. This is not the first problem with them. I will look into Dreamhost tomorrow. I appreciate everyone's support today. This has been a nightmare for me, but you all have made it bearable. Paula

This has become a nightmare. What I suspected would happen did. They denied all responsibility and miraculously when I uploaded the index file again just to see what it would do with the knowledge that I might have to remove it, all was OK. If anyone tries it, clean out your temporary internet files first or you will bring up the old infected file. They claimed the problem was mine, but the same Norton that caught the problem when we accessed the site would have caught it on one of my machines. All the machines came out squeaky clean. I even searched all my registries. I used multiple tools all day to check. I am looking for a new host. If there are any more problems, please let me know, but don't go on it without cleaning your temp IE files. I'll contact renderosity tomorrow and have the article back, but I'll still leave out the site name for a while.

I have removed the index page from my site since I do not want anyone else to be infected. I have not heard from the hosting company which boggles my mind especially since I just renewed my other website this week. I am now actively looking for a new hosting comany where there is a phone contact if necessary. I find it hard to believe that this is not a priority. I was told that the Linux people were coming in at 4:00 my time and that was through an open web contact. At 4:00, the open web contact was shut down and one had to leave an e-mail. I have left 5 e-mails and not heard from them. I am so sorry about this. Paula

I was just going to update everyone. I will first address Rachel's question. it turns out that my web sites are all on different servers. We did an IP address check. I spoke to the comapny and their Linux people don't come in until 4 Central time. Believe me, I am not thrilled. I cleaned out the IE temp files on a machine that was not in use today and went on my site. Norton caught the trojan. But it is not on any of my machines. I have gone over them with a fine tooth comb. Thus, it has to be on their server especially since Norton caught it before it downloaded anything. It is Downloader.trojan. I am not sure why the trojans were downloaded to various machines since non were downloaded to mine. I spoke to somebody who hosts sites about taking that page down, but if I do, he felt they could not check it. I am terribly upset, believe me. I am glad I was alerted. This must have just happened because I was on the site just the other day from a clean cache. I am doing all I can and will keep everybody updated. Paula

I received information about this from Renderosity. I can understand your concern.I use Norton Anti-Virus and manually update the definitions daily. I also run adaware and spybot. This weekend I did whole system scans for Norton and the other two programs. I have never had any problems on this machine or any of my other machines. After getting the e-mail from Renderosity, I downloaded windowsecurity.com/trojanscan and ran it on my computer. It came up clean. I also searched for the trojan you named and it was not there. I have sent an e-mail to the company that hosts my web site asking them to run a check. They have hosted all my websites for many years. I also called the computer store that makes my systems and the consensus is that if it is anywhere, it has to be on the hosting server which I doubt. I'll let everybody know when I hear from my hosting company. Paula
