Are you no longer aloud to completely edit your avatar?

I remember playing this game a long time ago and you were able to change the look of the body of your avatar, like make them taller, fatter etc. Are you no longer aloud to do this? I just played again and it seems you have to choose set bodies instead of messing around to make what you like. If I can still do all that stuff, how?

Sounds like you are logged in in Basic Mode, log out and change to Advanced Mode on the login screen & restart the login.

Yep, like Peewee said:

Luckily the new default avatars are much better than they used to be - but you can still totally customize your avatar in so many ways it defies the imagination... I am not sure how it works in the new viewer version but in the old ones, right click your avatar and choose "appearance" would do the trick... good luck and welcome back
