This is a list of commonly asked questions, designed to help you. If you wish to ask a question, either post it below or PM myself to have it answered.
Members, feel free to answer the questions of others.
You're character will be placed in a house when you post in the Sorting Ceremony (See the information in the Welcome table of the side bar to the left)
Don't stress if you aren't sorted straight away, and admin has to assign you to a group, so it may take some time for the next admin to log on and sort you.
If you have a character from the book then you will be sorted into the house that the character was in, but if you have a canon character, then they are sorted by the information provided to us by you in the character Introduction.
To have a character with a position you need to post in the 'Sign Up' board. You will find boards corresponding for each position.
You can also become a moderator, to help the administrators by looking after members, threads and house points. Administrators will approach members who demonstrate a good knowledge of the rules, good character relations, descriptive writing and who are active users, and ask if they would like the position.
You can earn house points by posting in the competition boards (Which includes creating picture captions, OOC games, house pride rallys ect).
You can also earn points from Professors in class, handing in homework and helping prefects and the heads.
We also have 'Of the month' contests where winners will be awarded with points.
But, as well as gaining points, you can also have points taken away from you. If you post in boards that are forbidden to students and are caught then you can have points taken from you. But what's life without a few little risks?
Your avatar is the picture in your mini profile (To the left).
To place an avatar, simply go to the "profile" Button at the top (near the home icon), then click the "edit profile" tab. Scroll down untill you see the 'Avatar URL' catagory.
Paste the URL of the picture you want in that section. (URLs can be found by right clicking on an image that has been uploaded to the web.)
