You will be able to post in all of the forums, except the School RPG. The next sorting is in September, so you can be sorted then and move into the school, then 
Oh, and you have to be a member of a Fan Club to post in its forum Quote:

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. I hope this helps

The total size can not exceed 60 kb and the whole signature can't be more than 200 pixels tall and 450 pixels wide. More info on this can be found in Madam Malkin's forum Quote:

kk ThankYou. | If it's for your avatar, the icon can't be bigger than 20 kb and no larger than 100 x 100 and it has to follow SS rules. To upload it, Go to your User CP (Blue toolbar) Once there, click on Edit Avatar. At the bottom, you will see the option to either upload it, or put in a url address. Quote:

sorry. | The sorting is a quiz that you take and according to the answers you give, you will be sorted. The next sorting will start on September 3rd.

If you do break a Hogwarts RPG rule, like for instance, talking of the history of the dark arts, but not actually doing them....just like, being curious about them, would you get in trouble?
Just wondering~ | |

Just wondering~ | I don't think you will get in any sort of trouble if you talk about the dark arts and not do them. Discussing something is not against Hogwarts rules. | |
