Wow, that really bites then. Sounds like you have everything in place. It figures, and it really doesn't surprise me. If you have a high-speed connection, and you have MSN or Y! I can transfer the file to you. (Maybe that violates an agreement or whatever, by for crying out loud CL, we are paid users!)
I absolutely agree with you that this is a marketing ploy. As I said above, it seems funny that not only is it housed on the CP site, you have to go through a whole registration process, including email verification, to get an "update" for a product you paid for.

You probably need to enable cookies. That's how Content Paradise handles everything. That seems to be the common issue around the boards.
Also, you must be registered, including using the link they send you when you register. That could be your problem as well.
As for using Content Paradise within Poser, I don't blame you. It is definitely buggy, and really serves no purpose other than bloat. It is simple enough to go via normal browsing.
All in all, the update shouldn't even be on CP. It should, at the very least, be located on the "update" section of the Curious Labs site, if not built directly into the application to begin with!
You probably don't need the update, since as you have most likely seen above, it doesn't fix anything. I would just try again since CL will probably use the same method to give out the "real update" at some point, and you probably want to know it works for you in advance.
Good Luck.

Angel, glad to hear you are enjoying the product. It's nice to see, even though some of us are disgruntled, that some people are getting good use out of it.
As for the update, your best bet is to not use the built in Content frame in Poser. Just use your regular web browser and head to Click Here to open Content Paradise in a new window. I have read something about the internal browser for Poser timing out, which has ruined people's experience in grabbing the update. Everything I have read has been positive when using an external browser, and I have done it as well, with expected results.

Ahh, thanks Randy, so I am only "half" as angry as I was a half hour ago! At least it wasn't "meant" to fix bugs. Then again, why waste time with a "content update" when there are enough bugs to be fixed? That's what P6 was in the first place!
Yes, as far as MS, you make a valid point. My point was more along the lines of, we get angry at one company for releasing garbage, but another company, moreso because we love the potential of the product, diminish some of our anger. (I admit though, I am one of the minority that doesn't really get on Microsoft's case. I build applications, so I understand it takes a ton of work to build a whole OS. It is just easier to make the point with MS vs. CL, rather than CL vs. say Coca Cola [Remember New Coke, or am I just showing my age?] ;)
Thanks for the backup on Jessi. You know, I hadn't thought about it until you said it, but yeah, her body is a mess too. The first time I opened her in the Pose room, I remember thinking, "What is going on with those shoulders!?!?"

Okay, I almost never (Hmmm, I wonder if Ihave ever?) post in here. However, this thread is definitely significant enough to post.
I was wondering, after reading quite a few of the other threads, if I was one of the small minority having significant problems with P6. Plain and simple, if we changed the call-letters of the company from CL to MS, the Poser world would be up in arms already.
The whole thing is one big "patch," in the MS sense of the word. "Fix" one thing (in other words, add a feature or two,) break a few other things, and call it an "upgrade."
The face room is still messy. It was in P5, but it was more workable there than in P6. Also, I don't know if anyone has noticed, but "Jessi" is closer to the last name James, than Alba. In other words, its a male face, rather than a female. I don't know how often the programmers over at CL get outside, but I haven't met too many women with a head like Jessi's. (She looks like an alien.) I actually had to go back and use Judy to use my photos to create new faces, since Jessi doesn't seem to like being remapped.
Speaking of Judy, why are there only a small number of P5 figures that are migrated into P6? I mean, P5 is still installed, since by default, P6 takes up a new directory. Granted, I can use the old stuff by adjusting my libraries, but why should I have to? If you upgrade Windows, doesn't MS happily migrate what you have installed already? Why couldn't CL do the same?
As for the service pack, to all those who haven't been lucky enough, like me, to accidently fall across it in the other posts, it is already available, for both Win and Mac. However, like everything else, it isn't intuitive enough. You have to go to Content Paradise to download it. Don't even bother trying to do it through P6, head to www.contentparadise.com. There is a link on it to the "download." That was quoted since you first need to go through a whole registration, including email verification, before you can get your hands on it. (Was this another way to try to sell more in CP by CL? Get you to the site, then "allow" you to dl the "patch.")
As for the "patch" itself, guess what? The memory leak is still there. Thank goodness I found a tut showing that lowering the bucket size on render will allow you to escape from render hell easier. As far as I can tell, the service release did close to nil as far as updating the software.
I am tired of jumping through hoops for CL. We are being strung along in their quest to push products out of the door. I have been using Poser since version 4, for a few years now. I am a full-time programmer in my 9 to 5, and even with all of the communities I get involved in with programming, most don't compare to the vibrance of the Poser community. With such a rabid following, you would think CL would take a bit more care to ship quality product to the masses. Would any of us actually have complained we had to stick with v5 another month or two if we wound up with an improved, and stable, final product?
As for the "support" CL offers, it is almost worthless to me. I sent a message to their support last week about the mapping issue with Jessi. I sent the front, and side photos I was working with (which happened to be really good images for the purpose,) along with a screenshot of the face room, as it "mapped" the images. The front image maps fairly well to Jessi, however, the side image is just terrible. The "egg" in the back of Jessi's head does not correspond to a human head in any way, and it forces the whole wireframe out of alignment when you try to adjust it (even using the tools.) in the screenshot I sent, I adjusted the front image a little bit to be correct, which went fine. However, in order to make my point, I just imported the side image and left the wires alone. The wire point for the chin is way off, as well as the points for the nose. It is obvious in the image that there is no realistic way to map the points to make the image map correctly. I explained all of this in my message, and said specifically that this is why I didn't make adjustments to the side image. The reply?
"From what I can tell from your screen shot you need to adjust the refrences for the side picture. You seemed to adjust the references for the front picture but the side picture does not seem to be adjusted at all.
I hope this helps!"
Well, no, it didn't, which I tried to tell you already. Thanks for nothing CL!
I know this is a loooong rant, but at this point I am disgusted, and now I know I am justified by not being the only one. I really hope CL wakes up and fixes this thing. I do love Poser, but I don't have time to keep working around each bug they introduce to "fix" a problem. If you have made it this far through the post, thanks for listening, and good luck in your posing!
