Forum Search Best Practices

When using the Forum's Search feature to find information, be sure to look at the thread date to find the most up to date results/information. Given the nature of forums, threads (and thus search results) within the forums may have older or outdated information in them depending on when they were posted/written/created.

The best ways to get the most up to date information is as follows:
1. Look for threads/posts given in search results that are dated more rencently (generally you don't want to go older than the last few months)
2. Check out Daz 3D's YouTube Page here: https://www.youtube.com/@Daz_3D
3. Check out the Daz Studio Masterclass here: https://www.daz3d.com/community/masterclass (It is also on the Daz 3D YouTube Page)
4. If you cannot find the information you need or want, to ensure any solutions are up to date, post your question as a new question here in the New Users Forum and either a Daz 3D Forum Moderators, Daz 3D Community Volunteer, or one of our wonderfully helpful forum community members will help you with your question.
