Don't feel bad. It happens all the time here and elsewhere. Evidentily a lot of merchants use some sort of software program to package their products and mat files, etc, that saves the path on the merchant's computer instead of just :runtime/librairies/ pose etc. I have had products that have the disk drive letter of the merchant's PC. This SHOULD NOT get by the RR testers, but it does all the time. I use the free Crimson Editor instead of Notepad, but Editpad Lite also works well to do find and replaces. I have IM'd the merchants and even explained how to fix it themselves manually, to no avail. Some really get insulted. I worked for RDNA as a tester for a couple of works (no pay - it's volunteer) and they make you test everything over and over. I had no time for anything else. Other stores do not seem to be so picky, but they should be. There is one merchant here who to this day has never fixed a product I bought even though I contacted the admin and the merchant, and even explained to her how to fix it. Needless to say, I will NEVER buy anything from that person again. ON the plus side, I learned a lot about file paths in Poser and how to fix things myself. I am from the old days of hand-coding - so all these nifty new programs for doing web sites and so on are just icing on the cake. Younger folks rely on these WYSIWYG programs and have no clue how to fix things by hand. Shame on them, LOL!
