To the left will be a long list of options. Click on Edit Avatar.
Scroll to the bottom until you see the box that says
Option 2 - Upload Image From Your Computer.
Click browse, select an image and then click Save Changes. | |

You must wait until the system recognizes you as a member. This can take a while so just be patient. You'll know you're a member when your username turns light blue. | |

To determine what sort of wand you'll have, you have to take a test, correct? When is the next opprotunity for this? | |

The next oppurtunity will be when Diagon Alley next opens.
Diagon Alley opens around the same time as the Sorting, so May the 12th is the date to look out for | |

That is called a tag, I don't believe Mods/Admins are taking tag requests. You may be able I don't know. Mamushkaleontti is the best person to ask as she's lovely.
You may also gain them though Fan clubs by working for them and winning a competition. | |

If you're still confused about anything else, you can go here or ask us again | |

Hi, I am sorry if this seems like a stupid question but we can upload our own avatars? If so what are the restrictions on custom avatars? | |

Yes you may
I believe the file may only be 100x100 and not over 20.0KB in file size. | |

Yup! You can make or find your own avatar and upload it. This is the best information I can provide on what avatars you can have or cannot have. Hope that helped | |

How long normally until the sorting hat and all starts? And are there any other places to RP my character before the term starts, while waiting? When does the new term begin is it in May like the front board says? | |

- As for how long it normally takes for the sorting hat to sort you, it ranges. The sorters will usually get them done as fast as possible, within 2-3 days. But Diagon Alley starts when the sorting begins and sorting lasts typically 1-2 weeks.
- Yes there are other places to RP while you wait for the new term; you could apply for a job in our new ministry RP by filling out an application here or you may also see about finding an available RP in Knockturn Alley that may appeal to you.
- The next sorting begins May 12th. | |
