One last question. Is there a way to automatically set your text to a certain color? |

Jude Thomas Magical Games & Sports | How do I give myself my own avatar (one that is not pre-set from the site). I see a lot of people have avatars that are not from the pre-made ones. Nevermind. Figured it out! Hmmm, I supposed this brings me to another questions. What are the rule on double posting. I mean, I can't edit my replies.

Scroll down a bit, and see where it says "Use custom avatar." Below there, you can either upload an avatar from your computer, or upload one from an image-hosting site  |

It can take a range of time to get sorted. If you don't get sorted within a few hours, don't become impatient- it takes time for you to get sorted into your house.
No, you can only take the Sorting Test once. If you get sorted into a house you don't like, give it time. You may find yourself liking your house more than you thought! |

You can post almost anywhere on the site. You have the ability to use a custom avatar. And, you now have a user "rank," which is the little animal name beneith your user name. You can see that mine is "abraxan" and yours is "flobberworm."
Basically, when you are a newbie, you are confined to posting in this forum. Now, you have the same privileges as other members. The only difference between a sorted member (a member who has a house name below their user name) and a regular member is that you need to be sorted to post in the site's Hogwarts RPG.
