      Only a little thing but it bugs the hell out of me;

      Somebody posts a topic that says "Help urgently needed!!!".
      Plenty of people respond with possible solutions but we never hear from the original poster again. What happened to them? Did everything go well or did they die with worry?

        Come on, Jon, we all learn a lot from these posts and have fun in the mean time! Who loses anything if not the poster? 😉
        But yes, sometimes I also wonder what may have happened... 😒

          Maybe the help wasn't provided quickly enough and the supervising manager made the necessary staff change... 😕

              LOL. Sacked, shot, ran away, whatever. They could at least let us know.

                i think people that ask questions should have to post their address. that way if they don't respond when answered we could go visit 👿 them and explain the error of there ways. 🤣 maybe even model them a fish to sleep with. 😲 or a horse head for their pillow. 😲

                WAIT, i forgot SU dosn't do organic very well. never mind. 😞

                    Thank you, Mr. Lucey.

                    The thing that helped me show (sort of) good manners here in the SCF was remembering that behind all those curious avatars are real people. And a good resource to understand this were the old issues of CatchUp, which contained interviews with moderators, ruby writers and others. I can't find the link to these old issues right now, but I think they are priceless for newcomers.

                    EDIT------- Here's the link:
                    http://www.sketchucation.com/old/forums/scf/catchup/
                    I wish there was a link to these issues in a more visible place, as they also contain the single best tutorial on using Subdivide&Smooth and Free Form Deformator.

                      You are right - the CatchUp issues should be put into a more accessible place. We'll definitely let people find it easier.

                          I hate these headers anyway 😡
                          the title of a topic is supposed to tell you in a few words what to find in the thread (although I have to admit that my titles are sometimes a whole novel 😳 ).
                          most topics on this forum need help. of course you could put an 'Urgent!!!' behind the description and remove it, once the problem is solved or help no longer needed. but state what you need help about in the first place.

                          with the star idea: maybe we could add a little flashing star-icon to the smiley list, that would be cool 👍

                            Don't worry, I didn't spend more than 5 minutes on it.

                              if you could combine your avatar with Gaieus's we could put that on a pillow at the bottom of the sea 🤣
