How do i get my avatar to stop walking backwards every time i go to walk.

I thought I knew everything to know about the fixes and tweaks on the default animations. A new resident of  4 months recently started walking backwards all the time. He is not wearing an AO,  and keeps walking backwards, even using a new AO that clearly is scripted to walk forward, he walks backwards.  This one has me lost. Can anyone help?

It sounds as if he has remapped his keyboard, either accidentally or for some other purpose, so that the FORWARD and BACK arrow functions (or W and S) are reversed.  I'd be very cautious about editing the XML file that maps your keyboard for Second Life, because you can mess things up royally if you aren't.  Take a look at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Keyboard_mapping , though, so you see how to approach it if you want to try.  Be sure to make a backup file before you do anything, though.
