Last time we helped you to keep track of your favorite browser games - this time it's all about touching base with other players, discussing with the community or simply organizing your clan within the games you are playing.

The purpose of this tutorial is to guide you through the process of creating a group and inviting your friends to join.

A group can only be created by a registered user, which means the first thing you need to do if you are not yet registered with us is to create a free account.

Once you have an account and you are logged on, you move your cursor over the Groups category within the main navigation.

Click on the first option (Create Group) and you will automatically be redirected to the template you simply need to fill in.

After entering the name of your group you need to think about whether you want the group to be accessible for all or limited to join e.g. for a clan.

Once this is done you can add related games to the group, which means the group is being shown in the overview of these games, so that other fans of the game can find your group more easily. The clan in our example plays Khan Wars, Parsec and Megaduel.

We complete the setup by choosing Invite people as our next step.

You can invite users from Galaxy-News or other friends or members of your clan by email.

After inviting all our friends we move our mouse over the arrow of the group's navigation and click on the Settings option.

This section allows us to adjust pretty much every feature the group provides. We can add, delete or change sub forums, set the members' roles edit general settings, invite more people etc...

The last thing we do is click on forum in the group's navigation and create a welcome post for all our new members.

You can click on My Page in your personal menu to see an updated, personalized list of news stories, recently added games, updates in your groups, and much more throughout the day. Whenever you log in, you'll get the latest headlines generated by the activity of your Buddies and Groups.
