Questions and Answers

[Mistress Vondella]

• Try to read all the information before asking any questions.
• Any questions you may have should be posted here.
• Follow the rules, or the posts will be deleted.

If you have any questions about the rules or site related issues, please ask it here. We're here to help you with the site, not your life, not Harry Potter, and not anything else ok? For graphics-related help, go to the Questions & FAQ thread in Madam Malkin's. Also check the Prefects' Office if you are not a Newbie and need help.

If you know the answer to a newbie's question, feel free to answer it, but anyone who replies in a non-friendly way in here will most likely be punished.

Also, don't pretend to ask something just so it looks like you're not spamming out of the Newbie Hut. It's selfish, takes up other people's time and will result in a big, ugly, scary PM from one of us telling you off.

Thanks

*still_a_newbie*

I'm not Vonnie but I can answer your question.
Okay so to join Fan Clubs you have to go to your User CP and in the sidebar on your left where it says Control Panel scroll down to where it says 'Group Memberships' click on that and it will show you all the fan clubs we have. Pick the one you want to join scroll down and click 'Join Group' then it will ask you for the reason why you want to join. Put in whatever you like about that character/actor. For example, for the Alan Rickman Fan Club I put 'Because Alan Rickman makes my life a better place =P'. Then once you are accepted(everyone is) you will be able to post in Spinner's End(or which ever Fan Club you joined).

If all that didn't make sense you can go Here to the Fan Club rules and there they have screen caps showing you what to do.

Hope that helps =D

So I just checked my signature thing, and it says that it's on, but whenever I post, my picture that I have won't come up. It was working with my first signature, but with the new one it never shows. I know it's the right size and all, so how come it's not working?!?!?!

Right now it shows no signature listed under your profile, thats the reason it doesn't show

You have two options for signatures:

1- either post them through the signature threads, and a signature profile will stick it in for you.

2-or yourself through your usercp -> edit signature. Though keep in mind its limited to certain characters & the image must be no larger than 60KB in size. More information on that option can be found here

You are allowed to access the Hogwarts RP section only after you have been sorted into a house. Once you have made 10 posts, you have full access to all parts of the site, except the school RP. You may go ahead and take part in the activities like fanfics, playing games etc.

The sorting is not going on at the immediate moment. However, it is due to start any time now. Once it has been put up, the mods will make an announcement - access the announcement and click the link to take the sorting quiz.

how exactly does the sorting work?

[Glowing Ember]

I'm just curious, is it ok if I only post occasionally? I don't want offend anyone. I'll do my best to post as often as I can but It really depends on my work schedule and my availability.

Take care all.

The sorting is very simple. You have to answer to couples of question and then the Admin will review your answer and put you and the house that match the best with you.

You can post occasionally if you want. This site don't required any amount of post per week so you don't have to stress about it.

There will be an announcement in a few days!! Good luck!

This may seem like a stupid question, but how does the time pass in the school role play ... as in like one hour is equal to 1 day or something like that?

*clings to her brother* Haaai!

There is no stupid question. And I don't believe that any such time rule exists in the School RP. One term is equal to one Hogwarts year, but there is no such thing as one hour is equal to one day.

I have ten posts and it has been over one hour and I am still a newbie. It said it would take an hour to change my profile into a member once I had ten posts. Please help!

When I was a member and sorted into a house, could i get into the quidditch team?

Sure. The captains hold try outs for the quidditch teams each year. You just make sure you try out for a chance to be on the quidditch team.

You mean avatar. It's not very hard. You have to go to user CP & then edit Avatar. You can either upload it from you own pictures account (Option 1) or load it from you computer (Option 2).


The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 20.0 KB (whichever is smaller)

The website was created in 2002 by Richard (a.k.a. Dumbledore).
There are over 50000 members... not sure of the exact number, as new members are always joining.
