Quote - Why can't they release a figure that will work in all versions of Poser? Oh my bad that'd make too much sense.

there is actually a very good reason they decided not to go that route, the smoothing alogrythm of Joint falloffs changed radically enough between Poser 5 and 6 that there is visible difference in how the joints bend, for the mil 4 figures that shows up particularly in the shoulder collar area. DAZ had a choice of making the joints work Ideally in P6 and P7 and not so ideally in P5 or Ideally in P5 and not so ideally in P6 and P7 obviously the former was the better solution. should they have just set the poser version # to 5 and hope that people accepted the lower quality joint falloff there? Perhaps, but they prefered to make it clear that the figures didn't work as well in earlier versions.
