Global Announcement:
The E Club's 5th Anniversary!
The E Club, the parent site of The E Club Social and the rest of The E Club Family, is celebrating its fifth anniversary today. Five years ago, it was a small site about Mario, Star Trek, and science, devoted to providing great information to the users of the web. Today, The E Club and The E Club Family have reached and exceeded that goal many times.

Happy fifth, The E Club!

Updates for the Super Mario and Star Trek Emoticons
Since more and more Super Mario (and hopefully Star Trek) emoticons are being added to The E Club Forums' Smilies/Emoticons Library (which members who post messages can find and access to the right of the "Message" field), I decided to give the Super Mario Emoticons (and the one Star Trek emoticon) their own categories.

Members, when you post messages, you see the Emoticons Library, a gallery of Smilies, to the right of the "Message" field. Above the Smilies, there is a menu that says, "View more Emoticons". It may be a little cut off, making the drop-down arrow impossible to see. Just...

2 New Things: ForumChat and Post Title Colors
To make The E Club Forums even better, I've introduced two new things to enhance The E Club Forums Users' experiences: The E Club Forums ForumChat and Post Title Colors. ForumChat is a chatbox on the homepage of The E Club Forums, below the box with the Google Custom Search box and all of that stuff, where users, just like Private Messaging, can chat with each other, this time, with more users connected and instantly. The second thing(s) I would like to introduce are Post Title Colors. See the title of this message? It's green! TheEClub's (my) posts will always have a green title, and Youngster502's...

The E Club Forums' New Subdomain!
Yesterday, twelve out of fourteen The E Club Family Websites had subdomains of The E Club, for example, The E Club Lite's URL is lite.theeclub.info. The two sites that didn't have subdomains were The E Shop and The E Club Forums (original). Today, I'm overjoyed to take The E Club Forums off that list.

The reason why The E Club Forums didn't have a subdomain of The E Club until today is because it was created by Youngster (not me) back in June 2011. Connecting The E Club Forums to The E Club's domain was brought up multiple times, but we couldn't coordinate it. So today, I have taken...

About the link ads
Over the last few days, you might have seen that certain strings of text (such as "Super Mario Bros.") are now links that go to sites like Amazon.com that sell things based on the string of text. These are inserted by Forumotion, and we have no control over these links. The one thing we could do is make these links gray so they don't look like actual links.

Update, 8/14/13: Luckily, Forumotion provided a way to remove these links for guests (since members of the Forums couldn't see them in the first place), so they're now gone for everyone who views the Forums and The...

The E Club Forums' Redesign
Today, we have published the first public version of the latest redesign for The E Club Forums. It's impossible not to notice this redesign; just like on The E Club Arcade, the Forums' entire color scheme has been inverted. Instead of a completely black background with light text (like on the Arcade), The E Club Forums now has a white-on-gray background with darker text. We also added The E Club Family's latest CSS3 design technologies as well as the Open Sans font face to the Forums.

This marks the fourth redesign in The E Club Family this month, along with The E Club Arcade, The E...

The E Club Forums Updates

Some general updates about the Forums.
The E Club Forums is better than ever! A couple months ago, I did a pretty big redesign of the Forums, using all sorts of technologies to un-clutter and simplify the site. The E Club Forums now has eight members, and it is running alongside The E Club Support. I wrote about the difference between The E Club Forums and The E Club Support in my last post, and neither site has any plans of shutting down.

Also, The E Club Forums is a little over one year old! It's about a month older than The E Club Social (although I can't remember the exact date that the Forums were created), and it's...

Introducing...The E Club Support!
I am pleased to announce the official launch of The E Club Support, the official support forums of The E Club Family. The E Club Forums will still be active because it is about Mario, Star Trek, and general The E Club Family info.

On The E Club Support, you can join, post questions, comments, or feedback on The E Club Family, enter contests, win awards, and much more! Join today at support.theeclub.info!

New: The E Club Social!
Do you have a Facebook or Twitter account? Do you want a more refined group of users that communicate with you? Are you tired of spammed messages? You have found the right post! That's right - The E Club Social is here! On July 2, 2011, I, E, thought, "The E Club has a Facebook and Twitter page, so why not do more?" And The E Club Social was born. This site gives you the opportunity to experience the power of The E Club's forum experience, powered by Forumotion; Instant Messaging (A.K.A. ForumChat); The E Club's high-tech sharing technology (coming soon); the ability to make friends; and the feel...

More Changes to The E Club Forums
Ever since its creation, The E Club Forums and its administrators (TheEClub and Youngster502) have been working hard to improve the Forums for user satisfaction. Now it's time for Youngster and I to take a step ahead into The E Club Forums' development. Just as said in my last post about changes to The E Club Forums, I have made the switch from the graphically-advanced punBB software to the newer, standard-meeting phpBB3 software. Both the punBB and phpBB3 software were provided by Forumotion.com, The E Club Forums' creator.

New features on the phpBB3 version of The E Club Forums include...

Changes to The E Club Forums
The E Club Forums has changed, due to the switch from forum program punBB to phpBB3. I, E, has changed Youngster's original layout to the old The E Club Forums' actual design! There's the Federation Delta Shield from Star Trek representing if the forums are locked or not. I also changed the link colors and things. The ads are also now more camouflaged, allowing for a better experience. Comment on this post saying how this update was for you! The Super Mario Bros. (not moving) Emoticons have a white background now, like this:

The E Club Forums TrafficExchange Beta and Group Changes
I am here again to explain two new changes in The E Club Forums: The E Club Forums TrafficExchange (Beta) and changes to The E Club Forums' Groups, such as members, and administrators.

What is TrafficExchange? The E Club Forums TrafficExchange Beta is provided by Forumotion, The E Club Forums' creator. Renamed by me, TrafficExchange is a system of promotion to The E Club Forums. By displaying links to similar Forumotion forums at the bottom of each of its posts, The E Club Forums creates a stable relationship with similar Forumotion forums. If a user clicks on one of...

The E Club Forums Membership Groups
I'm back with some more updates for memberships and rankings. Along with our prestigious ranks, The E Club Forums also has groups. These are the groups that you can go into when you first sign up. Here are the groups and their descriptions: (I added some more.)

Members - Just regular members. They become members by signing up for the Forums.

NEW! Elite Members - Members that have stood out of the crowd in some way. Users in this group are chosen by administrators. This...

Prestigious Ranks in the Forums
In The E Club Forums, there are many ranks. Members, Platinum Members, Forum Moderators, Global Moderators, etc. You can find these ranks at the bottom of the homepage of The E Club Forums.

Youngster and I have been doing this for a while now. We've added prestigious ranks for the Forums. Members can get higher rankings by writing lots of posts. I, TheEClub, or E, has changed the system so it is a little harder to make it to the highest ranking in the Forums. Here are the ranks that I have created and their requirements:

Regular Forum Poster - Minimum Posts: 1

A "Power-Up" in The E Club Forums' Super Mario Emoticons!
Yesterday, Youngster502 introduced Super Mario Emoticons to The E Club Forums. Now, I take this one step further by adding...MOVING Super Mario Bros. Emoticons! That's right, the emoticons I put on The E Club Forums move, just like the ones on The E Club's Homepage (http://theeclub.info). Here are all of the Super Mario Emoticons total:

Introducing... 7 Super Mario Bros. Emoticons!
I've recently been in the progress of creating some new Emoticons that you can put in your posts to make them even more special. I finally finished, and managed to create some new Super Mario Bros. Emoticons! They are pretty cool, and you can now easily add them into your posts, signature, and private messages. In total, I've created 7, but more are still to come.

These are the actual Emoticons I've added: ,

The E Club Forums Browser Compatibility
I just downloaded Mozilla Firefox 5.0, and The E Club Forums is fully functional, just like in Firefox 4. (Firefox 5 even looks the same as Firefox 4!) I conveniently also have Google Chrome installed in my computer, and it works there. The only thing different is that the Menu Bar is at the top of the whole page, instead of the bottom of the header. I'm not sure about Internet Explorer - If anyone finds out that the Forums work in IE, tell me so I can write it here. Just like Youngster said in the last post, The E Club Forums is compatible with mobile devices, including the iPod Touch, thanks...

The E Club Forums Mobile v1.1
Recently, I've been tweaking around with my new iPhone 4. After pressing some buttons and playing some Angry Birds, I realized that the phone had a mobile Internet hotspot and browser. So, being very curious, I typed in the web address for The E Club Forums. I waited for the excited look that would come soon across my face. And I had it- The E Club Forums On the Go!

What is The E Club Forums?
The E Club Forums is a community-based site originally created by Youngster for http://www.theeclub.info, also known as The E Club. The user TheEClub, me, is the founder of The E Club and its "family" of websites. I joined Youngster in administrating the Forums, and everything is starting to come together. This forum was a strange coincidence, because I created a site called The E Club Forums with this same URL, but it somehow got deleted. So, for some reason, Youngster created the new The E Club Forums in its place. May The...
