why am I not getting the Advance options when I am in my iCloud account?

There is no 'Advanced' option at icloud.com. Is this a question of changing the default email address? I quote:

In iOS 6

• Go to Settings > iCloud > Account (your Apple ID) >Advanced: Mail.
• Under iCloud Account Information, tap your email address.
• From the list of addresses available, tap the @icloud.com email address you would like to use as the default address for sending mail from iCloud Mail.

In OS X Mountain Lion or Lion v10.7.2 (or later)

• Go to Mail Preferences > Composing.
• Click the Send new messages from drop-down and select the @icloud.com email address you’d like to use.

At iCloud.com

• Go to the Mail app.
• Click the Action (gear icon) menu and choose Preferences.
• Under Composing, click the Set a default address drop-down and select the @icloud.com address you’d like to use.

The advanced option when clicking on your name was IIRC for resetting photostream, this is no longer necessary. What exactly are you trying to do/achieve.
