Hey everyone!

The entire staff hopes you're enjoying your stay in this website and taking your time to see everything and meet everyone!

This topic will contain a lot of secrets and information that will help you make most of your stay in the website a blessing! You'll find out quick "farming" WX (Winx Coins) tips to get more money quickly and some more secrets, as well as see the list of changes compared to the official website to know what was changed!

★ Quick ways to get WX ★

There are several ways to get coins in the website! The primary one being the list available right here!

However, there's a lot more, such as:

→ If you have more than one monitor, as long as the forum's page is opened in a tab, you get Winx Coins just by being in the page!

→ There is a huge Redeem Code launched at the beginning of the website that is currently giving 250 WX: WELCOME2024. Make sure to click in "Top Up" in your profile box in the Homepage!

→ Winning contestants in the forum will get an exclusive redeem code in addition to the coins got from the contests themselves, they're usually not a lot, being 60-100 WX in average, but it's still worth a try!

★ Secrets no one knows... until now ★

→ Want to access the forums directly but the link is too big because of the /centro-web/? Well, you can actually just place https://onlinewinxclub.com/forum and it will take you directly to the forums! This also works with topic links, if you want them slightly less polluted, you can remove the centro-web from the URL and they will still show the forum & its pages!

→ If you buy a music or video once in your account, it stays with you permanently. You won't ever have to pay again, even if you start your session elsewhere. Your purchases stay in your account and no popup regarding payment will ever appear again.
Funnily enough, the official website also had this technique, but if you logged in from another computer, you'd have the buy page appear again and create an internal error if you tried to pay for them again, so I'd say this is quite the improvement!

→ You can't usually right-click in the website's functions, the only exception is the forum page. You can however still right click on the Homepage in specific locations, such as the mini-news, allowing you to save the images, and Tips of the Day! You can also save the pictures and right click in the news themselves!

★ List of the changes on the Homepage ★

Like any website that is brought back, it's always important to keep it improving with the times. The old website is classy, but its code was old and quite frankly the entire old website took ages to load compared to this one! That's because it was apparently built from scratch!


With the rising of every single page made from nothing, that gives the opportunity for the staff to make a few things that weren't possible or thought of at the time, allowing for a much more smoother experience!

So here are ALL the changes that this website's remake has in comparison to the official website:

→ SIGN OUT:
If you tried to end your session on the Homepage and clicked in Sign Out, you'd be redirected to a whole page thanking you for being online and then refreshed back to the Main Page. This page took a few seconds to load and it's seen by developers as unecessary for not doing exactly like the user wants. So now, if you log out, you'll be immediately redirected to the website's homepage instead.

→ SIGN UP:
If you created an account in the official website and had less than 13 years old, you actually needed to activate 2 accounts, both your parents' account which you had to submit AND your own account and only then could you join. The parent account field is still in this remake's Sign Up, but it's not needed for the parents to activate your account beforehand.

→ PARENTS PAGE:
Speaking of parents, they don't have an account now. Contrary to the official website that allowed them to log in and see your own account, forum messages, game messages and even the ability to delete your account, that is now gone in this remake -- juleic1123 said he didn't know exactly how to do it and also thought it was kind of extreme -- BUT reinforces the need for the parents' envolvement nevertheless if you have less than 13 years old!

→ HOMEPAGE:
Contrary to the official website that had only a tip from a Winx per day of the week and Bloom repeated twice on Monday and Sunday, now Roxy was added and there are more than 50 tips for each Winx that change every time you visit the homepage!

→ WEBSITE THEMES:
The website did change its background for Halloween and Christmas. In this remake, it's a bit more than just a background change! Apparently, more things in different pages change to match the mood and holiday we're celebrating!

→ PAYMENT SYSTEM:
The official website forced you to buy Rainbow Coins (RC's) to be able to purchase wallpapers, videos, music, comics and episodes. In this remake, that's still paid. But it's through Winx Coins which you can get for free!

Aditionally, the payment system is what changed the most. The official website used a system of credit cards and redirected you to the top up page EVERY TIME you wanted to pay for an article, even if you had enough Rainbow Coins. This remake opens a classy popup and keeps you in the same page, informing you that you don't have enough coins instead if you don't have money.

→ PROFILE BOX:
With the removal of RCs, that made the Profile Box change. They were removed from your profile box on the left side of the website and replaced with...

→ MESSAGE SYSTEM:
Yup! A Message system where the website itself will use it to talk to you about various things! For minimods like me, it will be used to have redeem coins to get Winx Coins for our work. For users, it will be used to announce if they won a contest so that they know they must come to the forums and see it for themselves. Important announcements will also be shared with them through email, as well as...

→ REDEEM CODES:
Instead of the purchase system to get RCs, the "Top Up" page was repurposed to allow users to use Redeem Codes instead for Winx Coins, Web Avatar items and even... forum signatures?

→ WINX COINS:
The change can be truly felt in how you win Winx Coins. In the old official homepage, you were able to get at most 100 WX per day and that was it. Now, not only do you get a total of 80 coins by going through the multiple pages of the website, but you also get 2 Winx Coins per minute in the forums if you actively browse it - the website takes note of your clicks or tab opened directly in the forums and gives your account Winx Coins for free every minute!

→ MINIWINX?
The name of the Web Avatar, which in early 2012 became MiniWinx, is now reverted back to Web Avatar.

→ LOGIN AND PROFILE BOX
The login and profile box of the 2012 website - which is the one that we're using - are gone and changed to be the payment popup and the forum's direct access in the homepage. Instead, we have the 2010-2011 Login and Profile box.

→ NAVIGATION MENU:
The navigation menu is the one from 2010-2011, not 2012.

→ LANGUAGES:
The turkish and russian language were removed from the website, as storage is limited. That made the website be limited to a maximum of 6 languages, instead of 8. Their forums still exist, however.

→ COMICS AND EPISODES:
The comics page where users could pay to read comics and the episodes' page are no longer available as storage is limited and the system to make the comics is a bit hard to do. But it's not fully out of the table yet. These pages may return if enough popularity regarding them is demanded by YOU.

★ List of the changes on the Games section ★

The changes are also happening to the Mini-Games section with a few things a lot of people might miss out on!

So here are ALL the changes on the Mini-Games section:

→ PROFILE BOX
The Profile Box next to the Mini-Games has a different layout than the original, not only is it a much more detailed version but it's also different altogether, from the colors to the shadow!

→ TRANSLATION OF KIKO'S ADVENTURE
The official Kiko's Adventure game was translated in English, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese! Juleic1123 translated the game to French and German so it's the first time the game is available in those languages!

→ TRANSLATION OF TECNA'S LOST PETS:
Tecna's Lost Pets was only available in Italian and English, but juleic1123 translated the games to Portuguese, Spanish, French and German, so it's the first time you get to see them in those languages!
