I guess this is the forum this should be posted in, since it appears to be a form of rendering problem.
It appears that the female avatar is not being rendered completely correctly with respect to the appearance sliders. In particular, my character is supposed to be a "buff" female, but if I set the "Torso" muscles to above average, that change does not seem to show up for other clients. It will show properly in my appearance screen when I do it, but the next time I log in, the torso musculature is rendered as average again for me, until I go into appearance and click the "Torso" button. The setting I put on the slider is still there, but it is not being rendered. And regardless of how it looks to me, I don't think it is ever getting rendered in accordance with my setting when viewed on other clients.
Maybe while we're doing all these other fixes for 1.7 someone could check on this? Maybe it's just a simple fix that's been overlooked. Anyway, it just seems a little sexist that guys can be buff, and we girls can't be. =p
