I am not sure that a second option external link in case of emergencies would make the grade under the new ruling 3DCheapskate.

Sadly that's also the answer I expected. And I was going to say that this make it a blanket ban on links to ShareCG - but of course you can upload tutorials at ShareCG. So a link to tutorial at ShareCG might be acceptable ? (But then again Renderosity hosts tutorials as well as freebies, so (following the "New Direction With FreeStuff" logic) why would they allow a link to an offsite tutorial when it can be uploaded here instead ?


Anyway, back to another type of link from that thread.

This post has a link to my blog. It's mainly a cross-reference for my own use.

I like cross-referencing with hyperlinks. It's so much easier than having to search through browser bookmarks or forum topic list, or doing a google search. Hyperlinks are really what the web was built for !

So once again,would this type of link be allowed ?


The 3Dcheapskate (also available in DAZ and HiveWire3D flavours) occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
