Can't Edit my SL Profile

[ReenaWinters]

Hi there

I need some help on how to edit my SL Profile - i tried to press the button to edit my profile but it won't let me. And another thing - it shows that i'm a guy which I'm NOT. Which leads to my Avatar's behaviour, it "acts" like a guy too. Ugh! (faceplam)

Is this the "new normal" for all SL avatars - even for female ones?

and another thing - I can't use my Arrows on my keyboard to move my avatar. Need some help there too.

Thanks

You might not be able to edit your profile yet because your account's so new it doesn't show up in search yet. How exactly is it "showing that you're a guy"? There's nothing in either the Web profiles or the Legacy profiles that says anything about the gender of an avatar - in fact, the only thing gendered about ANY avatar is the shape, and the same avatar can use either the "male" or the "female" shape freely. In fact, many slender male avatars use the female avatar mesh. If you're referring to the blank default gray "face" icon that appears in a profile without a picture that's the same for all avatars.

As far as the arrow keys, you may  be trying to use them when you have a viewer menu opened. If you want them to move you while you have a menu opened you can go to "Preferences" - "Move and View" and select "Arrow keys always move me."

HI again

ah ok - I was wondering about that. Thanks for your help about my Profile Picture question.

as for my avatar movement, well - I will try what u said and see if that works. I played in SL before, when there u can pick your own last names, but I needed to "take a break" from SL and get back to RL. But now, I'm back playing again.

Thanks for your help Theresa Tennyson, I"m kinda rusty, but its slowing coming back to me now.

You set avatar gender in Appearance.
