I had the exact same problem. I went CRAZY!! Seeing tons of characters and clothes on the forum made me want to search hard for some way to use the characters. First, you need to download stuffit expander from download.com. Dropstuff does not work, I have tried it. Then download the mac converter in the Utilities section on this site. Once you download it using stuffit expander, drag the poser file you downloaded to the mac converter. After it converts the file, move the file to runtime>libraries>Character>newfigures. When you open up Poser, the object should be under new figures. Good Luck!! Tell me if it works
