I still use only Poser. All of my remaining store products were made in Poser. I haven't been very active in content creation due to personal circumstances. In early 2016, the computer malfunctioned. It took me until August 2016 to get back up and running with a Poser-capable, but low-end PC. In early 2017, the external drive that housed my runtimes malfunctioned. At the same time, I found my backup external unresponsive. To add insult to injury, this PC can only read about one in every three content backup CDs or DVDs. So, I've been rebuilding runtimes from scratch. I'm troubleshooting each item as I go, so it's very slow going indeed...

As a customer, I buy Poser stuff. As the cost of real world necessities have gone up, my Poser budget has been ever-shrinking because Poser-related items price have risen too and each dollar can only be spent once.

I've been buying quite a bit of dynamic stuff for Poser, but I've had very little "play" and render time with Poser... But, my runtime external hard drive malfunctioned early last year. At the same time, I found out my backup external was unresponsive. This PC is only recognizing about one in every three backup discs I've burned for content in the past. So, I'm finding myself rebuilding my runtimes from scratch. Very slowly. I'm basically tearing each product at the same time, trouble-shooting each for easy-use. So, it's slow going. It's been over a year now and I've barely scratched the surface on re-installing.

Ok. I'm going to be going offline for the day shortly, so I was curious. Thanks.

Will there be some kind of advanced warning before Poser Addicts as it now exists disappears? The thought of that really makes me sad. I haven't shopped there in a long time, because I wasn't sure it was still safe to use. There still is all kinds of cool stuff there, though.

I wouldn't count on it. Usually it's too much hassle with announcements because everyone becomes presumptuous and will want an extreme discount, and it's a broker and as such the products aren't PoserAddicts to do that. I know the new site is being worked on, but there's no time line. I doubt it will shut down tomorrow, but if there's something you want I wouldn't wait to get it either.

Well, my budget is very small and getting smaller all the time, but I guess I'll see what I can pick up this year. That's really sad, though. Thanks.

I'm getting the same message as DreaminGirl from Firefox when I try to go to PoserAddicts. I'd like to pick up some legacy products there this year, but safety is an issue.

Absolutely. I've been running each thing I re-install through Runtime Repair and EI's Poser Product Checker before I rezip the item and install it in my new runtimes, but once in a while, they don't catch something like this.

That's pretty much what I did, rebuilt the scene item by item and rendered. I found the problem and chopped the problem references out of the cr2 in a text editor. I figured I really couldn't break it too much and could always copy a fresh copy of the cr2 back over. Renders now post-hacking so I guess I'm good to go.

It would be nice if Poser kept an error log for things like that, though.

Erm... Pardon my bandaged fingers. That should have been 16 gigs of RAM.

I think I found the problem .cr2 references. I'm going to have to sit down and see if I can edit them out or something.

Thanks, Miss B. Congrats on being chosen Member of the Month, btw.

Jenn, I did not received the third coupon via e-mail (and I have checked the spam folder). My qualifying order was 113129529 placed on Jan 13, 2018. Can you please site mail me again or something? Thank you.

It was worth a try (asking). Thanks.

Will all four of the coupons _ not_ be valid for sale items?

Thanks, Jenn. I did not get an e-mail and there is nothing in my spam folder. I wish the staff would go back to using the newsletter archive, because sometimes mailings do go awry.
