HM Revival Guide
Hey guys! As we grow, we come up with more and more ideas to help improve the site that may be a little hard to find.
We thought we'd make a guide to help you navigate the site and make the most out of your experience here.

Logging In/Out
Hover over the banner image to login and out. You may also use the login button at the top of the forum - under the admin icons - to switch accounts.
Editing Your Mini-Profile
Your mini-profile is what we see when you post, along with your signature. There are some custom fields that may be confusing, so I've put this together:
Application: This is for a link to your character bio.
Plotter: This is for a link to your plotter.
250x350 Avatar: This is for a link to your larger avatar picture in your miniprofile.
Year/Job: This is where you put your current year at Hogwarts if still enrolled or your occupation after graduation.
Other: This is for anything else like special abilities, quidditch positions, alumni etc. Please note that any special ability that is on your profile that has not been approved will result in a warning.
OOC name: What you go by on the site.
Introductions
There is a thread in the introduction board under General Hogwarts Magic category for introductions. Stop by and say hi, tell us about yourself and get to know other members!
Activity
Under OOC there is a board for activity with sub-boards for muse lists and absences. Be sure to check those periodically to see if your thread-mates are going on vacations or low on muse.
Micro-threads
Micro-threads are adaptations of our games like Mate, Hate, or Date. They were created as a way to alleviate some of the pressure of writing full-length posts when muse is low. This allows you to continue the story and gain references for your threads. The rules are ours to make so have fun, keep it PG-13 and enjoy!
Extras
Here at Hogwarts Magic the Revival we have implemented some extras for you. These are not mandatory by any means.- Open Threads
Here is where you can find open threads to join! Likewise, if you've posted an open thread, be sure to post it here so others may find it.
- Quidditch
Quidditch tryouts are located here and guide to matches are here. It is not mandatory to RP quidditch practice or matches. That being said, there are open threads for practices should you wish to. Let an admin know if you want to RP matches and we will set it up.
- Universal NPC List
There are a plethora of universal NPCs to use to your hearts content. We have set up a list here. Feel free to use them in your threads or add to the list.
- Site Lore Collection
Our site lore is canon relative to our characters, but optional to use or read. Reading through the site lore here may help you understand some of the references made by some of our characters.
- Clubs
We have two clubs here at Hogwarts Magic: the Dueling Club and the Frog Choir. Click the links to join or check out the member roster.
- Garden of Aphrodite & Lycamp
These will soon become part of our site lore collection. The Garden of Aphrodite is a summer camp for those with veela-blood and Lycamp is a summer camp for werewolves. There are sub-boards for each of these under 'Other Places to Visit'.
