Hi all!

Some may have noticed already, I've made some small cosmetic changes to the forum the last few days. Upcoming changes will be logged in the Administrator's Change Log I made from now on by staff members, I agreed with Rukiafan, so if something goes terribly wrong on the forum, anyone can restore it back to normal. In short:

- Made the Administrator's Change Log and procedures;
- Updated Word Censoring for forum posts. Lateron, regarding the chat, this may be activated, too;
- Updated the button position for Loging in and Logging out to a more obvious place...

We Need Your Help!



In just six short weeks our custom .com domain will revert to .forumotion.com if we don't receive donations from you, our dedicated fans.

If we lose our custom domain the number of visitors will decrease along with the number of new members who could potentially become an active part of our community.

Big Changes!



We added a new popup chatbox with many new features today during our latest update and we'll give some examples of the new features available!

New Interactivity!



We have made a few changes today on our website and we admit that a few new bugs have cropped up, but we'll fix those soon! Here is a list of changes and additions!

The first thing you probably noticed was the Today's Active Members tab under the Google translate feature on the sidebar which shows the avatar of every active member in the past 24 hours!...

Members have been e-mailing us about this issue preventing them from logging in and I'm currently walking John Knight through our coding to fix the issue, since my laptop still hasn't arrived yet, but this issue should be fixed soon so please stick around.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience if this bug has affected your ability to login to WiiWareWave, but don't worry it's not a virus we just messed up the coding during an update, so there is absolutely no danger to your computers.

Hang Ten!

Nintendo Ninja News is still going very strong with 1020 fans on Facebook and over 2700 followers on Twitter. We also made a massive 400 comments on the web site which is pretty big because of the low amount of members compared to a forum board.

Since there's so little games for me to purchase for the rest of the year, I decided to upgrade for a new 3DS XL matte red at launch. I'll still keep my Aqua Blue 3DS for easy download play access.

Expect the hardware review soon

Some people might have seen some of the twits that I made on Twitter that Ninja News might be given a second chance as a web site and yes I can confirm that has happened.

The idea of merging the Nintendo site into my writing site was meet with mixed thoughts and after thrashing out some ideas with some key Nintendo fans I decided to reopen the web site and really drive some promotions into the fan page and site.

This meant the Fan Page had to return and this time I decided to call on alot of friends to join up and worked in some deals with people. The Fan Page has made a...

Rukiafan will return after this weekend, so post alot for Rukiafan!

I have added a new quick edit feature that allows you to edit your messages without opening a new page. All you need to do is quickly double-click the left button on your mouse or laptop when your pointer is over your message, once the quick edit loads you can insert an image or edit the text quickly and seemlessly through this feature.

This does not work with the Wii browser and certain mobile devices, but we still have the normal edit feature available for those of you who cannot use the new quick edit tool!

Update...looks like the feature isn't working properly.
