Why does it say you can go to your profile when you first join, but if you click it , it just says you can't access it yet? | |

In the RPG school, if your character gets a detention, is that like a referral for you or just your character? | |

Anything happens in character stays in character. Only your user color will change to fluro green until you finish your detention then get switched back. You can only get into detention when you RP over at the school RPG and you need to be sorted to be able to RP there | |

Yep, it's meant for everyone.  And I guess people know eachother... But not necessarily the Admins. The people who know other people know the other people, but not everybody know's everybody. They just know the people they know. | |

They are above the avatars, and they are based on your post count. I hope that's what you wanted to know about them. | |

Dang, I'm late... but I spent forever on that answer, so you get it anyway.  K, so a ranking is your name by the amount of posts you have. Right now, you're a newbie cuz you have less than 10 posts. After that, you'll be a flobberworm. I'm a faerie. It's that little word right underneath your 9 3/4 thing and above where your av would be. There's a list of all the rankings up to a certain point... somewhere. Probably in the FAQs.

Maybe it's because I'm a newbie, but I tried to edit my post in another thread here, but I couldn't do it. Is there a reason why? I would have thought that if we could edit our post, it would reflect our not intentionally spamming. Am I just not seeing the Edit button somewhere? Help... Edited to Add: Never mind. Thanks, Mistress Vondella for resolving it for me! Quote:

LOL  Thanks for the help.

I don't recall reading this in any of the HP books?
