Hey, TrekkirGrrrl, been using your stuff almost as long as I have used Poser.

I still use V4, M4 and even V3 and M3 and older depending on what I do - but I don't use never figures due to limitation in Poser. I probably will use Gen4 until something happens, whatever that might be -- another company makes a native Poser figure, Poser cease to be or whatever. Spent a lot of money of that generation of figures and I like it. I have, in splurges, tried DS but while I do like some thing there are other things that just frustrates me.

So, in short -- and again -- V4 for life, ha.

Happened to my hubby too last week (seems someone bought bus tickets to an airport in Sweden via an on-line site!), although he did get a call from his bank before the Rendo e-mail.  Again, this happened just after a purchase he made on here, so there is something somewhere going on between events there.

Personally I never use my actual card online, but what my bank provides that they call e-card -- you specify allowed amount and a valid-until date -- but foremost PayPal.  Never had an issue with them, so can't say much about support or lack thereof, but I've had them for over 10 years now.

Quote -    I left DAZ at least 6 months ago and now my favorite site has ripped off their amature design!

This, and more.  I too gave up on DAZ after the horrid changes to their store and things, I left PC too after many years, what with the awkward and restricting new system with the coupon.

Don't do the same errors, Rendo.  :(

I don't post much, but ew, what happened to Renderosity?  This is not pleasant to look at and it feels, I don't know, barren?  Void of personality, perhaps.

Why the need for constant visual change when things work as is?

At the very least, give us the option for "classic look" or something like that, please?  With CSS today you can do that without forcing us users to resort to third-party solutions.  Please?

Yay!  That is a relief!  (c:

Dajadues, if you read the thread you will see this affects a lot of users, and it due to a disagreement between two ISP -- TeliaSonera and Cogent.  DAZ is on the Cogent network, part of which is no longer connected (de-peered).  It even stops some sites in US to reach other sites in US...

The ISP TeliaSonera is not blocking DAZ, but Cogent is not allowing TeliaSonera through anymore (and vice versa, so all European WoW servers are cut off from anyone connecting through Cogent, for instance), thus cutting a lot of people of from DAZ.  It is neither cookies nor internet history affecting it.

DAZ could help this if they can find another route other than the one through Cogent, but I have no idea how that is done or how expensive it is; but it is the way big business do it anyway, with more than one route to their site (in case of things like this or other issues).

But yes, it is not easy to learn what is really the matter with this, so it is easy to assume it is your computer or DAZ that is the problem.

I only hope they (Telia and Cogent) work this out quickly...  Well, I can dream right?  (c;

The one I posted works fine with login, as long as you allow cookies.

It seems as if they both want to expand the bandwidth, but Cogent wants TeliaSonera to pay for it all -- and a lot of ISP's in Europe runs through TeliaSonera.  Politics and economics.  Bah.

Found one that works for logging in at DAZ though -- for the moment...:  http://www.hiderealip.info/

Yes, just learnt about their conflict.  Lovely.

To access login and that?  Not anymore it seems.  Argh.  They (Cogent) are locking down all alternative paths as they are discovered. 

Quote - and IF this was a DNS cashe issue it would have resolved it self by now

Not if it goes through a DNS cache that only updates once a month (OpenDNS for instance, which I know is causing trouble for at least one other site) and the IP has changed.

I have, with no success.  But, using proxies, I can connect.  Weird, but that is how it is -- I suspect a very early connection through many ISP goes through the problem, whatever and wherever that is.

Thus, if someone along that line has blocked all 38...* or got the wrong IP cached, well, then I understand why (another) proxy works.

I do not know what is wrong, but a few other sites seems affected too -- some say it is OpenDNS who caches DNS but only updates once a month...  I doubt it is Daz, though.

I found ProxySel for Firefox which allows me to switch between more proxies than I can count, though, so until this is fixed (wherever it is) I suppose I will have to use that one -- at least I can turn it on and off with a click now.

I have never used a web-proxy before, so I cannot say.  I just noticed it worked -- maybe someone out there knows a good one, that are well used and trustworthy?

To me it is a whole new jungle...  There are plenty of them out there, for certain.

Use a web proxy (if you trust them) -- then you can access the site.  (c:
