Male Characters Missing Alternate Hands On Hips Pose

Hello Wonderful Storyline Staff -
Let me start by saying how awesome it is to have such a robust cast of illustrated characters in Storyline - love, love, love them! That being said, I came across something odd with the male illustrated character poses in Storyline.
- All of the female characters have two different poses titled "Hands On Hips." The first shows the hands in "fists" on the hips, the second shows the hands with defined fingers at the hips.
- All of the male characters have two poses titled "Hands on Hips," but both poses are identical.
I'm not sure if the duplication in the male poses is intentional, but personally I like the second option of the pose where there is more definition in the hands. Perhaps this could be an enhancement in a future release?
Thanks in advance for looking into this - I know I speak for a lot of people when I say how much your time and effort are appreciated!!!!!
Have a wonderful day -
Diana

Diana, you're right! I know you know you're right , but I hadn't ever noticed that. And of course now that I know that, I'm going to NEED NEED NEED that pose for a guy in a project right away! ;)
Hope Articulate look at this. I'd think it was a mistake. Good catch!
Rebecca - you crack me up! I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who has such thoughts. What's that old saying, "Crazy loves company?" LOL
Diana, I think I represent (as opposed to resent) that remark
Hi Diana and Rebecca!
First, thanks very much for the feedback and the information. I had actually never even noticed this before, to be honest. I did a little looking around and I was able to find some documentation on this and it looks like we're currently working on this.
To me, it seems like there's actually a duplicate for the males. I don't think there's actually supposed to be two poses for "on hips" for the guys. Then, again, I could be wrong Or, it could be that the guys are just shy. In either case, I totally agree that we need to get these guys set up properly!
Thanks again for all of the information, ladies.. and some laughs, too.
I hope you both have a wonderful day

Hi Christine -
You. Are. Awesome. I knew the very smart people at Articulate were on it - thanks for letting us know!
Tx, Christine. Good to know y'all are "on it" cuz you never know when I might run into an "the guy HAS to have his hands on his hips with defined fingers" emergency with a client
My day was great - hope your was too.
Hi,
I am using the "Rhonda" character on Storyline 2. On my work computer I can see 8 different characters, but on my home computer, I only see "Atsumi". Please help!
sounds like you don't have the character pack installed on your home machine
How can I do that? I didn't buy any other characters. The free ones installed automatically when I installed the software.
Hi Tracie,
There was an offer for a character bundle with the purchase of Storyline 2 as seen here. So possibly as Phil mentioned, you didn't install them at home? If you need the install files again, I'd have to direct you to our Sales team to confirm that it was a part of your purchase - but they'll be happy to assist.
That would be great Ashley, thank you. So dues that mean that I should uninstall it and then install with the new file?
Hi Tracie,
The character bundle should be a separate install - so it's odd that it happened with your Storyline install - so it may be best to contact our Sales team and they'll determine which files you have and how to get you the correct bundle if needed.
Okay
