                        I know to enter SL you have to be at least 18 or older, but does it have to be the limit on your avatar too?  We need an age slider. My next avatar character was going to be a 10 year old little girl, and as a female i could not get rid of the breasts. So i tried male, that doesn't work either. She just looked like a dwarf.  It would be really cool to be able to control your avatars age.

                        I have a male child avatar that doesn't look like a dwarf.  He looks 13 though and is probably tall for his age.

                        yeah dio, your av looked more like a 13 or 14 year old when i saw you tonight... didn't take too close of a look (only saw the general body figure and overall facial characteristics), but looked like a teen or late pre-teen...

                        I recently fixed the bug that was causing small avatars to float above the ground (and tall avatars to sink their feet into the ground) and have been playing with the avatar size a lot lately.  I was able to make a small child-like avatar by also bringing in the body and limb thicknesses in addition to shrinking the height.  That is, the reason you are getting a dwarf effect is that the limbs are too thik in proportion to the height.  You should also try playing with the shoulder width and head-size for best results.
  BTW... the fix I made for the avatar height will be in the next release which is coming soon... like maybe tomorrow!  Be sure to try making your avatar really tall and really short and let me know of any bugs you find.
