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

It's okay because you're still in the newbie group. After you become a member and you accidentally spam, you can PM a mod or edit the post with something like, "OOps, please delete!"

You'll take a quiz when the sorting opens - but that's not until May.

Why am i still considered a newbie when this is my 13th post?????

--and--

Do you have to click on something to take the quiz, will you have a message in your inbox, will it automatically pop up when you log in, or none of the above?????

[RiddleMeThis]

You tend to have to wait up to an hour for you status to change.


You cant take the quiz until it is open on May the 12th.

Hope this helps x.

Please try to refrain from chatting in this thread as its used for Questions only and those who feel nice and answer your troubles.
Instead of chatting you are welcome to talk to me by sending me a Private Message or a User Note.

Yes, I believe you can post anywhere except the Hogwarts Role play and the language threads if you do not know that language. You are allowed to post in the Ministry if you sign up for it, here.

Oh and remember stick to the rule of each thread ^ _ ^! Have fun now!

Please try not to double post

This is your post rank. Post ranks change whenever you meet a post limit, such as once you get 20 posts you become a Flooberworm.

Right now, we are in the middle of a current term. When a new term comes along, we'll all start out at Diagon Alley buying school supplies and catching up with the other students. You can take the wand quiz then.

Do you know about how many weeks after the sorting is closed?

Normally about 2, I didn't count when it was up xD and it depends how many people want to get sorted. (I believe), but as I said, you can make up your wand, : )

go to the "User CP" bit near the top of the page and click on it. Then go to "Edit Avater" at the side of the screen and click on that. Then choose one of the existing avaters or upload one of your own

First check that:
- The maximum image size for avatars is 100X100 pixels and the maximum file size for avatars is 20.0 kb.
- Your avatar is within the image size and file size limits.
- If the avatar you wish to use is too large, you will need to resize it.

Then go to a tab up the top of your page which saids 'User CP', at the left side of the screen there is a number of options. Click on 'Edit Avatar'.
Scroll to the bottom, you can:

A- Upload it from a web page. No direct linking.
or
B- Upload it from file.
