Avatars*

To put it simply, an Avatar is a picture that is posted along with your posts.
An avatar is sometimes automatically resized if it is too big so try to keep them small.
You can load an avatar 2 ways;
First- By browsing and using an existing file on you computer.
Second- By using a upload site such as imagshack or photobucket.

During your Pre Sorting Hat and Squib days your avatar may be visible but once you reach First Year it will disappear. Don't be alarmed this happens to many of us and it comes back during the second year and remains there.

If you would like to change your avatar you merely just do either two of the ways to upload your stated above.
