Well, I won't complain too much. Thanks for the Sorting Hat. This does look like fun.

Regarding 3. Which magical pet would you bring with you to Hogwarts?

Does this mean any animal we'd really like to bring, or only of the 3 listed in the Hogwarts Requirements? (An Owl or a Cat or a Toad)

(And how'd Ron get away with having a rat anyway? That's not on the list.)

[gertiekeddle]

I think you can take what you would like to. I chose a chocolate frog.

Accio, you need to start a new thread under "The Sorting Hat" in order for people to sort you.

Hi, and welcome to the forums

You have to start your own threads with the answers to the questions, so other fellow members can sort you. Just click here to start a thread, and don't forget to put your username in the subject line

[Pox Voldius]

Will there be any sort of master list of who's in which House? Or will it just be the membership lists on the Common Room social groups?

[Daggerstone]

It would be nice, as not everyone'll want to join the social group or display the house crest in siggy.

[gertiekeddle]

Yup, that's possible.

[Grymmditch]

It'd be sweet if there was a way to get sorting info on the left pane user info part, (where username and avatar go) but I don't think that's technically possible.

I don't wanna give up my current sig picture because I can't have a regular avatar just yet. I suppose with quick bit of photoshop though, I could merge my sig pic with the house arms as one picture maybe..unless there are house objections?

[Voldemorts8thHorcrux]

can i be a slythvendor?

[boushh]

^^ I'm apparently a Slytherpuff, so why not?

No worries, mate, there's no need to give up your siggie. I did it to hopefully promote the Sorting, but I'm sure to change it soon.

Although it would be nice to be able to include a smilie-con for our houses in the user info of our profile.

V8, you must be in a single house, can't have your ebolness catching on...kidding, I'm kidding! Congrats on being Sorted, BTW!

You can use a crest smilie on your signature; that way, you'd get to keep your current picture, and you can show your house as well. The codes for those smilies are:

:gryff:
:slyth:
:huff:
:rave:

Remember that you can only have up to four smilies in your signature (be sure to check the Signature Content Policy for more info).

Oh good! I was seeing all the House crests in the signatures of Sorted members and was afraid we'd have to use those pictures as siggies forever. Phew! Thanks, Nadia, for clarifying that. I can keep my siggie, yay!

[Klio]

I wouldn't think that we *have* to display our house in any form.... I guess most of us simply like to do so at the moment. If this goes on for any length of time I am certainly not going to carry that crest for weeks!!

[Pox Voldius]

Meh, I already had a Slytherin crest in my siggy, so I'll just be keeping that. It's nice, small, and understated, which I like.

[Mad_Druid]

I'll carry my crest until Vita has finished my siggy After that I'll put the in it.

[Lord Godric]

Can I ask what this is leading to, if anything?
