how do i submit to ATSNN.com?

oh man,

this is the 3rd time im writing this. Anyways, Im trying to submit some news to ATSNN.com but I cannot seem to do it. Ive read all the guides and everything that overlord has written but I cant find the submit button in memCenter!! Either today im having an incredibly silly day or ive just gone blind! Pleaze help someone.

At the top of your screen, where you have all the buttons (myNew, newPosts, Chat | News), click the news. The rest is explained pretty much at the bottom of the page that you will transfer to.

Basically, title your news (each first letter in caps)
One to three paragraphs in your own words about the story, without providing your opinion, just the news itself.
Paste the story's link in the url space.
One to Three paragraphs of the story itself goes in next, untouched, just what is written.
If you have additional links, you paste them to the next spaces.
If there are threads, put them in the following spaces labeled for such.

Then, you put your take on the news. What you feel about it, your opinion, and basically what you think you want to steer the thread towards (ie, Is this a prime example of NWO takeover? Is this a test to see how far the Iraqi insurgents can go?)

Then post. Once it's read over and deemed to be done correctly, it goes into submission. Ten votes (I am pretty sure its ten), and it goes into the news, and you are officially a contributor. I hope this helps!

Feel free to u2u me if you ever need some help, I wouldn't mind helping you with one.

the submit news button is above in the beige bar by the chat button.
You might want to keep a copy on your computer while you are submiting your article incase you lose the whole post.

Sauron actually you made a very important point that I had not included. Copy during your typing out of the story always! One little error, and the next thing you know, you've lost everything, which can be very very frustrating! Nice to just keep a backup, and I now do it all the time.

I'm eager to see your news stories on here, I think it's cool to see new contributors stepping up to the plate!

how long does it usually take to be approved? thanks again.

I don't know how long it takes, but if this is yours "Al Qaeda deputy hunted in Afghanistan" I think you need to edit the quoted article down to 1 or 3 paragraphs.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking if that is the ATSNN article. You just want to get the jist of the story out there. Then people can click on the url for the full story. I have seen a story submitted take 24 hours to go into submission, but that was over the Memorial Day weeked, so of course, I wasn't expecting too many people to be around even to bump it up with all of the other maintenance that goes into the site. I would just be patient, it may take a little bit of time. Also you may want to check out the discussion thread links, they weren't working when I looked at the article.

thanks guys, i made it shorter.

eoyn, FWIW, your story needs to be voted on my the members to become a story. Five votes are needed.
When the votes are in, you should then see your name, get an auto u2u and the points award.

Good luck
