Contribute news articles for TiBB homepage (new and improved)
 

We now have a new system for posting frontpage Big Brother articles. Anyone can contribute. :amazed: If anything doesn't work right let me know.


Quick instructions:

1. Go to Quick Links Menu (top of page) - Post New BB15 Frontpage Article.

2. Type your article like it was a new thread and click Submit.

3. Sit back and wait for article approval.

4. Done.

---------------------------

More info:


It has the following new features:

• Articles only visible on the homepage and to you in forum (saves confusion about two forum threads with same topic).
  
• Related Thread - Option to select an existing thread from the forum which has the same topic. A notification post will be made in the thread about your article and comments for the article on the homepage will appear from this thread.
  
• Save Draft - You can now save draft articles which are not immediately published. You can use this to create a placeholder story which you can re-visit and edit.
  
• All the other usual forum features.

---------------------------


Here's how to use it.

In the Quick Links menu at the top of the forum select Post Frontpage article.

You will be presented with a page similar to posting a new thread. Simply post a thread in the normal way with a subject and message.

To select a related thread (thread on the forum which is about the same subject) click 'Select new forum thread'. This is optional though, if you don't select a thread a new notification thread will be posted on the forum. Mods can merge that with another topic if need be so don't worry.

And to Save a draft article click 'Save Article as Draft (Don't publish to frontpage)'

Click Submit New Thread as usual and wait for the article to be approved. (we'll give reporter status to users also so they can post articles without waiting for approval).

Guidelines for articles are:

• Don't copy articles from fansites.
• You can quote excerpts from news sites.
• Original content is best.

I may bring back a Forum Reputation / Karma system to reward anyone that the contributes articles (or helps out in other ways). :amazed:

Oh, and by the way, there is a new homepage design coming.


Good luck.

I didn't even know this existed

Lol I barely ever read the homepage but only because I know if I want news I will look in the forum!

Omg the new home page looks great :love:

:facepalm:

When an article is posted on the front page a thread is created in the forum for it too.

I just made one, said a mod had to check it or something but I forgot to click the option to have a thread posted on here too

Oo it was posted

We need to approve them and you don't need to choose a premade thread, if it's left blank it creates a new thread

Look here's your after I approved it
