• 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

Firstly they are allowed 3 tags maximum. Tags don't include the user ranks at all.

However, if you gain your tags from FC's I have seen a few people with 4.

- User CP : Blue tab, top of screen to your left.
- Edit Avatar: 5th option down, on the left bar. (Control Panel)
- Custom Avatar (2nd option)

You may upload a custom image by either choosing:

Option 1 - Enter the URL to the Image on Another Website
__________________________________________________ _____.
Option 2 - Upload Image From Your Computer
__________________________________________________ _____.
Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 20.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

I know someone who registered to join Snitch Seeker last week Thursday, how long would it take to get a response. I told him to be patient since he has not gotten an e-mail yet..

It should only take an hour ish or you can get it straight away.

Maybe you should try resending it?

Or try a different email?

If that dosent work, PM an admin, they should help you. (Please be as much detailed as you can when PMing them.)

Rich, or Dumbledore, founded this site in 2002.

"He wanted to create a Harry Potter forum where the fans run the site. A one-stop shop for anything a budding Harry Potter fanatic could ever need - a place to call home."

Hope this helps

As it says in the front page, the next sorting will begin on May 12th. On that date, there will be an announcement site wide about the sorting with a link to a sorting. You will take the sorting and quiz and then you will be sorted accordingly.

Please, remember to use the "edit" button if you need to post again. Otherwise the posts get merged/deleted as I did with your last 2 posts..

What you want to do is click on the "User CP" link there, you can edit your signature and your avatar using the related links on the left hand side.

For signatures, however, I would reconmend use of the 'Submit Your Signature' thread located in Scribbulus Everchanging Inks as then a moderator will put it in for you as putting in your own is very limited.

You have to be a member (your username will be in light blue). And it can take the system up to an hour to recognize that you have ten posts and upgrade you to a member. Once it does, you will be able to post there.

I was just wondering, and it probably is a stupid question, but have I missed the sorting at all?

Nope, the next sorting is actually set to begin on the 12th of this month and will last a week or two.

If you mean the School Role-playing Game, it's part of the website where sorted members play characters that are attending Hogwarts, go to class, interacting in the hallways, etc. And yes, there is a sorting. It will open on May 12th (Monday) for members that haven't been sorted yet.
