Soo, I am pretty sure I've misremembered at least the italian part. I am pretty sure the website had other languages, but I know I've been checking the italian verision most often, cause at least at some point, it was getting more updates, plus those custom images... I will also stand by the one dress-up game :lol: but I think there were more games (at least later on ?)

And after consulting the internet - yup there were other language, there is En version on the Internet Archives. Unfortunately I don't have all the plugins for their version to display fully for me, so I can't see if it's pisdible to switch to italian version, or to brows non-main page content... I would love to see what else I've misremembered... :lol:

:ahhh: You helped me to realize why I used to check the Italian version of the website when I first found it
It was later than 2006 but still for some reason I had to use the Italian version (I didn't speak it at that time but now I do lol) to play Park Gardenia and visit the forums(?)
I don't remember how the forums looked but do remember that they had some modifications, and my friends and I used to describe the forums as "the old forum" and "the current forum"
Do you remember something about it? My memories might be deceiptive :ehmeh::

Hmmm I remember that the website has different versions based on the language. When the site got updated to the 3rd season themed version, the update didn't happen simultaneously in every language but you could still go to the earlier version if you choose language of a country where season 3 hasn't aired yet. So maybe this explains it? I remember also that the English website got updated faster and I also remember using the Italian version for a while, maybe because it got updated even faster than the English one. And maybe Turkish version (or some language I didn't recognize) was updated much later because I was still able to visit the earlier version. It felt like a time machine: in English website they were talking about season 3 and everything was Enchantix themed but in those earlier websites with different languages they were still posting pictures of the 2nd season. Later all of the other language sites were updated.

I remember that the 3rd season forum had a bit different layout than this one but I don't remember any more details. :think:

@Hallowinxer - I had an impression, that 3rd season updates were appearing in different rate in different language versions, so thanks for confirming that for me!

@Blomady - when was that talk, that You remember?
I have a very blurry feeling, that there was some migration of the winx forum at some point. (I think, there was one time, when they were updating something and it meant that they deleted plenty of inactive threads, ect. Still, I am not sure if I am not confusing some other things.) I'm also pretty sure, that I wasn't on the winxclub forum from its beginning.
(I found winx club in summer 2005, and joined 4kids winx forum in feb 2006. I wasn't active anywhere else till it's closing after 3rd season. I probably didn't jump immediately too, as I know that for a brief time I was only on a forums ran by people I met on 4kids, which was around 2008-9, I believe. )
Honestly, I have no recollection of how the forum's looked. Not one thing... :ehmeh:: (it almost feels as if I am actively forgetting everything the more I'm trying to recall things now... :ehmeh:: ).
One thing it all made me realize, is that the whole official forum thing was shorter period in my life, than what it felt in retrospective :ahhh:

That talk happened in 2010-2011, around those times
Yeah, in my country Winx were first aired in 2008, and I remember these discussions about Enchantix :D We speculated about it a lot because all we had were some pictures from the Internet

I don't really remember because I was too little, it was kinda like people thought those pictures were just art :ehmeh::
There were different speculations indeed as people tried to come up with the name of the transformation and the lore but I remember none :lol:
