As part of the "improvements" for the next release, you might want to get SM to quit taking liberties with people, like Poser just did with me by 'Calling Home' when I specifically told it not to. When I switch-off checking for updates on starup, it means exactly that, it doesn't mean do what you like regradless like it did just minutes ago by telling me an update is available for Poser - even with the option switched-off.

NO MEANS NO - the perils of proprietory, eh?

It's a simple fix, so hurry-up with the SR, cause if it happens again, SM will be reported for underhand practices, and that's assuming I don't lose my temper enough to go ahead with it this time.  I really have had enough of you corporate fucks to last me ten lifetimes!

My Poser never checks for updates. And seriously Pumeco, was that last line really necessary?

Same here, I turn updates off with a simple checkbox.
