Why do we have to wait forever for sorting? I mean I know I don't have my 10 posts, but is it just for fun to wait or something?
Oh and I cannot use the CP until I am a member right? If so this means I cannot have an RPG name yet etc etc right? |

Well, that's right. You cannot put up your RPG name before you become a member, but you might as well keep your name ready to put up once you get your first ten posts.
Cheers!  | |

I am curious as to how the sorting decides our houses. I have taking sorting hat quizzes at a few different places and i have had different results everytime. Do you think the sorting will be accurate? | |

Here members get sorted according to their answers in the sorting quiz, but most members end up loving the house they were put in, since all houses are great.  | |

Will I still be allowed to have access to the rest of the site after I have done my 10 post even if I have not been sorted into a house yet ? | |

First of all, you have to get 10 posts and after that you can browse through the discussions threads (Both Harry Potter and Non- Harry Potter related),join fan clubs, play games, there are language forums, you can request and browse through graphics made by our very own members and you can start your own thread too, theres also fan art and fan fiction
So you see, you're spoilt for choice  | |

Hi, I put a smiley into my post (introductions thread, #274) by dragging Snape's head over into the text. But it posted as "error 404".
I followed your link to Madam Malkin's but I was denied. Is there a place I can ask how to insert smileys properly?
Thanks, V. | |

Thanks, V. | You don't drag the smilies on. I didn't even know there was such a thing. You click on the smilie and a code will appear ... like this one of Albus Dumbledore ... : albus2 : It is without the spaces of course. there will be no space bars there and once you click on it, it will appear like this ... 
I hope that answered your question. | |

Just go around the site and give it another try. | |
