Effective communication is the key for a successful clan. This is why Wargaming wants to help you with you clan’s communication as we improve the clan portal functions. It’s a handy tool to give important information to all your clanmates or call them to action.
A Clan Message Board is an internal communication tool. It means that unauthorized players and players who are not in your clan will not be able to view it.
Only those clan members in certain positions can create messages. They are the Combat Officer, Personnel Officer, Executive Officer and Clan Commander. The table below shows, in detail, the different permissions that the roles have.

When entering the Clan page, the visitors will see a special area which displays the three most recent messages.
If the clan has more than three published messages, the rest may be seen by clicking on the squares (as pictured below). The colour of the square informs the reader whether there are unread messages on the page.
All clan members have the opportunity to go to the message board page by clicking on "All messages" and also view feeds available to them by clicking on the messages with the left mouse button. Unread mesages have a golden-brown background and a yellow triangle in the upper left corner. After you open and close a message, its status changes to "Read", and the background colour turns grey.
To post a new message on the board, click on the yellow plus icon. You can also post a message in the section "Messages" and on the page "All messages".
The "New Message" interface has the following elements:
All clan members;
Only the command structure (Combat Officer, Personnel Officer, Executive Officer and Clan Commander)
When you edit messages, it is very similar to posting new messages. An edited message remains in the same place on the list, but it will be "unread".
A clan member with the appropriate permission can permanently delete messages or move them to the archive (see more info below).
The Executive Officer and Clan Commander have the opportunity to change the order of messages by dragging and dropping them to create a particular order. This feature can be used to attract the attention of clan members to certain information.
After posting new messages, the target clan members (all or part of the clan) will receive a special alert. The message will appear in a special interface, which will be implemented on all official websites with Clan Feeds simultaneously. By clicking the link in the alert, the recipient will be able to go directly to the message.
Those messages which have expired are automatically sent to the archive. Players can always see the date when a particular message will be moved to the archive.
No more than 20 messages can be displayed on one archive page, but the maximum number of pages is unlimited.
If a player has the appropriate permission they can archive any message. Archiving can be useful, for example, if you already have 15 active messages, and you want to add a new one. Additionally, the archive can be used as a repository of message samples which can be restored and reused later.
Archived messages may be deleted permanently by a player with the appropriate permission.
Players who do not have the appropriate permission are unable to view the archive.
