I reached the 60 day mark yesterday, (woohoo!) but am a little embarassed that I don't know how to do something that seems pretty basic in SL. When someone is chatting or im'ing, sometimes their text will say:
"XYZ claps enthusiastically" or "XYZ winks coquettishly," without a colon following XYZ's name. My question, how do you type like this? Thanks in advance!

Type /me first.
Example: /me is not embarassed to be speaking in the third person. This would come out: Smith Peel is not embarassed to be speaking in the third person. _____________________

Congrats on the 60th! All you have to do is type: /me. Followed by the action you want to take.
Like so: /me claps her hands Result: LailaLei Mathilde claps her hands That's all!  Mandy C _____________________

It took me a while to work this one out as well, so don't feel bad about it.
/me is used heavily in roleplaying groups. |
