The Yak Shack Forum

Can anyone in the UK get in yet? I heard it was up and running days ago but you don't seem to be able to access it from the UK. I try putting the address in with .com but it converts it to co.uk. and won't work  >:( I want to get at the new website  >:()

When I went to the site it came up with small banners for what region you live in which are yet to be complete so I would say thats why it automatically converts to co.uk for you. There isnt much on the site yet just the trailer and profiles on the 4 champions. Hope this helps.  :)

Thanks, I would like to see it though. You'd think if I put in .com it would give me .com wouldn't you ::)

I got some downloads from the website.  *Check my signature!*  It was a toss up between Viktor and Cedric.

I had to support Hufflepuff of course and Harry ;D

Hi guys
Sorry to hijack the thread but can someone please tell me how I can get those pics in my signatue cos I downloaded the Support Harry pack. Cheers.  :)

Have a go at this.  Put

(img)   then paste your picture info then finish with (/img)

Don't use round brackets use the square ones like this [  ].  Sorry I tried using the right ones but the program thought I was trying to put in a picture.  Don't leave any spaces between the brackets and the address.  I wish I could claim credit for knowing this but Tower kindly talked me through it in another thread ;D

But I can't get any of the cool stuff you have on the GOF site. There are no support packs.   The only thing I get is a poster or the trailer or a link to the WB HP site  :(

Thanks for the help Sharon!  ;D

Right now Sharon to get the packs and sign up to show your support you'll have to go the the US site :'(

You can try  to get the US site Mike, but unfortunately it defaults to the .co.uk site automatically (yes ... I've tried typing in .com to no avail) and you just can't get to the US site where the more 'interesting' things are! Not fair! :'(

The only way round it, is for those of you already capable of getting these cool items, to please post them on here bit by bit ... and we in turn could copy & paste them and host them ourselves to use in our siggies.
How does that sound ...? *looks hopeful*  :o=

Well I can download all of the kits (already have Cedirc and Harry) for you guys if you want and I dont mind signing you up for the support 8)

Thanks Mike, that's SO kind of you!! ;D ;D ;D

Click on the first banner to enlarge it

Thanks Mike  ;D.  I can feel a miffed Email to Warner Bros coming on   >:()  Now to decide who I support  :-\

But now I have seen a big picture of Cedric I realise who he reminds me of.  For anyone who watches Home and Away, don't you think he is a dead ringer for Kim?

OOOOOOOOO excellent Mike - thanks VERY much!! ;D ;D
I've downloaded all of them and now I've the same hard choice as Sharon to make - which Champion to choose .... *hmmm* ...

Your Welcome. I had to go with Hogwarts. I just cant support any other school 8)

Well I've finally managed to get my siggie sorted out ... had  to support our fearless hero!! :-* ;D ;D

After seeing everyone elses, I had to go for the larger banner of Viktor.  But I'm not thrilled with the photo.  He looks a bit pale, like he's gone without sleep for a while.  ???

He is possesed in The Maze in GOF

I don't see anyone with a Fleur banner.  What's wrong?  Doesn't anyone like Phlegm?   :rofl:

I dont. I think she became a MAJOR witch. STUPID PHLAGM >:D

I finally decided who to support and all I can get is this silly little banner  :'(   Any help would be much appreciated (after all the bloke needs as much support as he can get  ;) )

What do you need help with Sharon? ;)
I used the long Harry banner in mine and it came out the size you see below ... I haven't resized it! :o

Ok this might get confusing because my technical knowledge of banner thingys is somewhat limited  ;)

I left clicked on the long banner and pasted the properties into my photo bucket.  Then I just put the image below my Gryffindor banner.

Wow that actually sounded like I knew what I was doing.  Except for the part where it didn't work  :rofl:

So where did I go wrong Jules - maybe it was the champion I picked  ::)

I said in my post on it to make it bigger like Niennas to click on it because I made the mastake of doing just what you did. Hope this helps :-\

How come we can't get the new site in the UK yet!!!!!!!! Its been up for ages >:() Is there a way to trick the blinking thing into not redirecting us to .co.uk this is really peeing me off big time. Excuse us, JK and Harry are only British and we can't get at the site!!!!!!

*falls off soap box*

*After stepping over Dawn who is still lying on the floor*

I am getting really cross about all the Harry stuff we can't get.  Not that I want more than other countries, just give us a fair crack at the whip  >:()

*Takes Dawns place on soap box* 

I can STILL NOT GET the GOF site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG it looks like the UK has finally caught up but what kept them so long >:()

Why does the US get everything first. Harry Potter was created there. We should get everything second :P

Anyways, love the site. I'm so happy that they are going to make mini sites for every character. I'm defently going to make Hermiones my homepage ;)

I don't see why we got the old POA site for so long surely they didn't have to make a special one just for us. And yes the UK is the home of HP :)

I love the POA site but I'm very excited to get the new site 8) I hope they have a great directory like they did for POA with the Map. Are they bringing the map back? I know its on the site but they havent totally updated it yet

I'm still exporing but it is taking forever with my dailup :(

The window wont load for me ::)

Tell me about it!!!  It took forever!!!! ::)

It just loads then you click on something else and it has to load again ::)

What a pain, HUH? ::)

Now we finally have it it is rather good. I like the yule ball, although things still take ages to load on my computer :(

The Mad Eye Moody game is good. I made the high score list ;D

OK it took ages to load and I was useless. I'm always terrible at hiding ::)
