As the man who invented Poser and broke his butt to give this community the P4 improvement patches when Metacreations was dumping it, your words carry great weight Larry. You should communicate with these forums more often as Lapis suggested above.
And while CL is working flat out to fix the bugs, it is not really appreciated by the community unless there is feedback. It may well be worth the effort to sacrifice some development time in favour of much more feedback on the problems. Even simple responses to problems such as "we know about it and have a fix which will be released next week."
It is really easy to get totally frustrated and go crazy in the dark and much of the anger and negativity being expressed here and elsewhere is directly related to little or no feedback.
In addition this has a strong cumulative effect on prospective P5 buyers who get turned off by the whole process. So do all of us a favour and bombard the forums with answers to the problems being expressed and get the tutorials out ASAP.
