Default Contribute frontpage Big Brother news articles

I have added the forum 'BB13 2012 Articles' where any member can contribute a news story to the site.

I've changed how it works slightly - instead of posting directly in the 'BB13 2012 Articles' forum post your article in the private sub-forum inside it called (currently) 'Post Frontpage News articles here'. Only you will be able to see the thread you create until a mod moves it into the main articles forum.

This way you can now edit your article after you post it which wasn't possible before.

You can copy and paste articles from major news sites as long as you link back to the article. Probably better if it is just excerpts not the whole thing if doing that. Don't copy stories from other fan-sites.

Why are there old polls with no meaning still on the home page?

I'm going to add some new polls.

Here's a tip about how to add images to articles that the text wraps around.

Like this

Some text goes here. Some text goes here. Some text goes here. Some text goes here. Some text goes here.

or

Some text goes here. Some text goes here. Some text goes here. Some text goes here. Some text goes here.

Use the [IMGA] code in posts.

Either [IMGA="left"]http://image.thisisbigbrother.com/thisisbigbrother.png[/IMGA] or
[IMGA="right"]http://image.thisisbigbrother.com/thisisbigbrother.png[/IMGA]

Or click this icon - when you start a new thread.

Don't make pictures in articles more than 450 pixels wide or the page will be stretched.

I've got that working now.

I could change it so that you can view other peoples articles but not reply to them. That might save duplicate stories.

This is a work in progress.

That's cool James. It will give a chance for edits to be made etc if things are not quite right. Appreciate it.

Yes, I will most likely post some stories throughout the series.

Salman, I like the changes too, the boldness defines the page more, rather effective.

How do you view your own thread? I just posted one but I cannot see it at all?

Post it in the 'Post Frontpage News articles here' instead of 'BB13 2012 Articles' and you will be able to view it before it is approved.

I've approved your article.

Is the frontpage ever going to look presentable? I actually cringe sometimes when I hit the frontpage instead of the forum!
