Hi, I just logged on and had to wonder if I was at the right site. Then I realized it was yet another of those changes for the better. Yeah right! It is fairly confusing for an old guy like me. Where are the 'home' and 'daily deals' tags on the top of the page? As for the Napa ads they belong on a auto parts page. Being a Street Rodder, I have no objection to car ads, just not in a 3D modeling site. Well, I guess I said enough for now, time to go suffer in silence.

Hi all,

In the interests of fairness, I am posting to update that yesterday DAZ refunded the amounts they removed.  I would have noted this in the thread on the DAZ "commons forum" as well but DAZ closed the thread censoring further discussion there. 

Take care.

Hi Richard,

Yes sir, I have opened the first 2 days ago and received this reply:

Membership Correction and a Free Month of Platinum Club
Due to an internal error on our part, you were charged twice for this month's Platinum Club Membership renewal. We apologize for this inconvenience and have taken the steps to prevent this from happening again. Because of this oversight we are going to apply the overcharge toward next month's membership renewal AND give you an additional month for FREE!

In addition, we are giving you a coupon good for $10 OFF your next purchase of DAZ Original Products - including Platinum Club items. Enter coupon code: CENSORED BY MYSELF at checkout for the savings to apply.

I have already asked for a refund and get that reply from DAZ instead.  I am trying another communication as the last two did no good.

Since you asked here is my 2 cents worth.  I cancelled the platinum club account last July but it did no good as this week they have charged my credit card twice.  This is absolutely absurd or criminal.  I had no intention of renewing the account and most definately will not now.  I think that this will be the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.  I did purchase the occasional product but I don't think I will continue to do any business with DAZ after this.  New and improved what a laugh!

Curt

Best of luck to you and thanks for all the great models. Take care!...Curtis

Hello,  the Universal Brengun Carrier is great.  I think perhaps your best to date. Please keep up the good work.  It certainly helps to fill a gap in British armor...Curtis

Hi Andi, I was reading the forum this evening and your entry reminded me of this story on the news this afternoon about MS.  I don't know if it is old news or not to you, just hoping it maybe helpful.

UC-Denver Researchers Seek Breakthrough In MS Therapy

Multiple Sclerosis is the most common disease to disable women, and the second leading disease to disable men in Colorado. However, researchers in the Denver area may be on the cusp of finding the best therapy to date.

More on the site.  Take care and happy holidays.

Hello! I was just at CP and am not impressed to say the least.  It is difficult to look around.  I don't like how they show the product and the pop ups when you pass over the item are real annoying.  I couldn't locate just the vendor area for Vanishing Point and finally found the limited offering for "tank".  I really don't need the headache and have to agree that it will no longer be a frequent stop.  It is sad that they had to screw up a working site but there are other places to spend my available bucks.  Take care all.

Hip, Hip, Hurrah!  Well done.**

Hi, as a novice to Poser and other 3d applications I do not usually have much opportunity to weigh in and give an opinion on the usual things that crop up on this forum.  However this time the subject matter has struck a cord and I feel more than qualified to present an opinion. Since I began a major career change in 1978 I have been a law enforcement officer for the US Air Force and State of Colorado and have worked numerous security positions, including loss prevention.  So I believe myself to be an authority on this subject from the law enforcement point of view.  Oh, and as an old hippie, former conservative/liberal and now independent with socialist views I am also qualified and able to see the opposing viewpoint as well.  My thanks to those with the courage to speak up and defend people in the criminal justice field and not to unfairly generalize us like several did in this thread.  I must say that I am very disappointed in a few of you.   

                Winterclaw - Seems like all rent-a-cops are stupid and on power-trips.

            SSAfam1 - I was FLOORED when that THUG replied he was the police. I hate them. They're pigs. (No offense to police officers or family of police officers online). I just know they're thugs with badges. I see it all the time. Nothing will be done. They get to harass and beat the people they swore to serve and protect...all on our dime.

            RobynsVeil - store security are not the police force - they just like to think they are.

            SeanMartin - But the sad thing is, nothing will be done, most likely. Even if someone puts in a complaint, I'm sure that the cops will side with the security force, because that's how most are.

Acadia, in response to your statement of “I'm Either Incredibly Brave, or Stupid!” I would say that you are probably a bit of both and just a bit slow.  Your decision to run into the store for help should have been your first action.  This starts the 911 call and help coming sooner.  Your second action would have been to write down a quick physical description of the subjects to report to responding units.  I know a person can have the urge to intercede in something like this but please think of yourself and your loved ones first.  It does no one any good to have you hurt or killed in such a situation and such things do happen to good Samaritans.  Also if this thing is weighing heavily upon you consider asking your family doctor, clergy, or other professional for some help.  After all you are now also a “victim” in this incident and may be suffering traumatic after effects.

I do not alibi for the security personnel referred to by Acadia, rather feel embarrassed and sorry for them.  I have learned over the years that there is often more than one side to the story.  Unfortunately if this is a case of bad security in action it is reprehensible.  But don’t blame all security/police no more than you would all priests, doctors, judges, teachers, etc for the bad persons in those fields.  I strongly believe that better training, education and compensation has been needed for years in all parts of the criminal justice field. Do your part and speak out for this to lawmakers, reporters, business owners and students, the future workers in criminal justice.  Insist upon “professionalism.”

Well, thanks for listening to this old guys opinion.  I had best get down off this soapbox as it is my bed time and the job starts early tomorrow morning.

Thanks, Curtis.

Freyfaxi,

Personally - what I'd like to see is a good old-fashioned Gatling gun ?

I was at 3dcommune and downloaded one there.  Search for "gun".  It is by cooler.

I bow to your great work. I have the file and downloaded it. Thanks so very much for the quick response. I am greatly impressed by the help. Take care.

Hi Stacey, Okay, I have just sent the info again, for the 3rd time. Please advise me if it doesn't get there. Thanks.

Bill wrote, "a more faithful "period" drama being released by Pendragon Pictures direct to DVD today" Hello. Thought it was time to say hello and contribute a little something. I am still learning Poser so can't do much there. I was able to pick up a copy of the Pendragon film last week at a Sam's Club in SW Denver. It does not live up to my expectations at all. I had ran across the Pendragon web site a few weeks ago and was awaiting the movie. My time should have been better spent The transformation from burning body to skelton is pathetic to say the least and their attempt at fire and flame even worse. It also runs close to 3 hours long. I think Gilligan's Island three hour cruise was shorter. Sorry to dash any hopes but I don't think it was woth the $8 something I paid for it. A true waste of production time. Keep up the good work, Curtis
