Alistair Gen8M - 90% Skin Trans broken
75% skin translucency works fine.
90% fails with unexpected character. I've highlighted in red. Please Fix.

Comments
If you consider it a bug, you have to open a ticket.
Daz does in general not read the forums.
What else could it be considered? What do you consider it if not a bug (I'm lumping broken Artist content in with the term bug).
As far as opening a ticket goes, not my problem any more. They've been notified. Whether they read frequently or not, if at all, IRDGAFC. If they want to continue to sell a product that does not work as advertised, all the power to them.
"They" have not been notified, you have posted to the forums - which may give other users a chnace to confirm the issue, or to say that they have already submitted a ticket. If no one has submitted a ticket then the issue is not known to Daz and cannot be fixed.
"They" do read their forums. Imagine how fast I would be banned, and have my post deleted by "their" moderators* If I was to severely post in contraversy to the rules, not to mention how they would be able to run contests, and choose winners if "they" did not read "their" forums. If "they" choose not to utilize "their" forums for learning of problems with the products "they" market, that's "their" perogative. It will either be fixed or it won't. It's not "my" reputation on the line when it comes to the quality of the products "they" market and "their" willingness to address problems through all means of communication not just "their" preffered method. I'm certainly not going to chase after "them"
Frankly tickets are much too cumbersome. If it was as easy as making the purchase, I'd be game, but it's not. Let it stay broken.
*Of course they could just be volunteers and have no official representation or capacity.
What part of, "Daz does in general not read the forums."? If you want be sure Daz knows there is a possible problem you need to submit a ticket.
Moderators are not the same as Daz support staff so again you have not notified Daz.
