You'll know when you'll have 10 posts because you will changes from a newbie, to a member. | |

One question for you:
Is this one of those "Hogwarts in the future" sites? Or are Harry, Ron and Hermione still going to Hogwarts? If so, what year are they in now? | |

how do i use my own avatar? | Go to the User CP on the blue toolbar. On the side there is a list of options. Go to Edit Avatar and you can choose from any of the avatars available from SS.
Once you become a member, you can upload your own avatar. Simply go to edit avatar and you can upload a custom avatar.  Quote:

Hi!
I'm curious about who can be selected to SCHOOL? I remember that you told "of some sort of special ones" but I don't quite get you. Please, remind me.
Thanks. | |

When it is open, the place to be watching is the news, front page, or for forum announcements. There is stuff all over about it and links to the quiz, so you can't miss it! =] Quote:

The absolute biggest avatars can be is 100 x 100 pixels. =]

Everyone is always a magical creature no matter what their post count is. Or at least I think they are all magical creatures... haven't gotten far enough myself to really know lol. It is rather fun to look them up in a copy of "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" though... =] Quote:
