Is that a Poser Forum FAQ I see upon Yon heading?? YYYYyaaaaaaayyyyyy! Waytago JeffH & Scotta! It looks like a wonderful beginning. I especially like how you add links to relevant sites & threads. How about adding a link, or starting a weekly thread on Fri evening for members to nominate subjects, explanations, tutorials, and favorite threads to add to the list or existing questions. That way a lot of the work (research, etc) will be done for you & you can just add the elements you feel are most relevant. Breaking it down into headings might be effective (Like Posing questions, Texturing anamolies, Character-specific issues (Mil figure Nul-loaders as an example) Morphing matters, file formats & structures, Lighting techniques, Focus on Cameras, sources of ref materials, recomendations & comparisons of modeling software, issues in interfacing Poser files into other apps, Favorite QuickTips of the Masters, etc. etc. etc..... :-)) One FAQ I think would be of benifit would be a quick intro to posting to the forum, How to write an effective header so members on slow-loading dialups have a better idea of what threads they'd like to read &/or contribuite to is one subject I'd like to see covered. I'm on DSL, & even so it can take me 25min to an hour to click-through a couple of pages of threads during peak hours when the surfers online counter reaches 800-1200 members. Also a couple pointers on what types of postings would be more appropriate in other forums wouldn't be amiss. < Uh-Oh! How'd I get on my soapbox again??? > Anyway, Job well done on geting the FAQ up! Kudos, guys!

You noticed huh? :-) Thanks leather-guy. We are having a few server problems right now leather. That might be why it's been going slow. We're probably going to try to keep the FAQ as small and easy to read as possible. Only including the most common questions we keep answering for the new users. So they don't get confused or overwhelmed. It's going to evolve and grow as you folks remind us of other things that should be in there like the corrupt .rsr file problem (thanks thgeisel). ScottA
