I recently picked up poser 5 as my next skill to work on. I went though Ulrika ZugZwang tutorial and everything worked great!

But......

I got to the point where I wanted my doll to kneel on his knees. Now, he keeps falling through the ground between one keyframe and the next. I figured I might of hit some sort of option that added gravity physics to the doll itself and I don't know how to turn it off.

PS. Playing around with it, I noticed it was somewhat random when it did this. Is there supposed to be a specific way I'm supposed to assign the keyframes? Like does it mater if I move parts, then make the keyframe? or Make the keyframe then move parts around? I'm at a loss...

Open the Animation Pallete and make sure there is no keyframe on the Body except on the first frame.

Sorry, I seemed to misread you.
Your trouble occurs on Poser, doesn't it?

The first frame on Poser is used as a referance of the offset positons between Poser and SL. So it must be the default T pose which means all parameters are zero.
The second frame on Poser is the first frame of SL animation. You should create a keyframe on the second frame as the start.
And the falling down issue has something to do with the spline control. Break spline of the keyframes on the second frame.

You might be having some overshoot problems with your function curves. This thread had some tips about things you'll want to check...
