News Submission Guide - READ BEFORE SUBMITTING NEWS

The following is a few guidelines to follow so news is kept organized, neat and informative. Please follow the accordingly when submitting a post, or they may be deleted.

To submit a story click the "New Thread" Link at the top or the bottom of the page. It may be changed soon to "Submit News"

Steps to a Submission

  1. Nice catchy headline. Capitalize all words except a, the, etc.

  2. Don't post an entire URL string. It makes things look sloppy. Instead make some meaningful text like the following.

    DO NOT DO THIS

    PHP Code:
    [url]www.this_is_the_site_i_am_linking.com[/url
    DO THIS

    PHP Code:
    [url=www.this_is_the_site_i_am_linking.com]Check out this Story[/url
  3. To quote from a story:

    It's okay if you want to put your opinion on the article at the end of the new submission.

    PHP Code:
    [i]Look at meI'm funny'[/i
    Always post a source. Do not post a quote without a credible website link.

  4. PHP Code:
    [i]Thanks to [url=http://sitex.com]Site X[/url] for the tip.[/i] 
  5. Uncheck the box that says "Show your signature." It looks a lot neater and more organized without your PC's specs setup under the news post.

  6. Please, PLEASE refrain from Fanboy or Asshattery comments. I.E. "RETARDED", "GHEY", etc.

  7. Please check for proper spelling, broken links and complete sentences.

  8. Hit Submit! Don't be surprised if this section gets moderated in the near future.


Below is an example of a news post, using Buck's post as an example:


Title: Intel's P45 Licensed for X-Fire

The folks over at DigiTimes are reporting Intel's next-gen mainstream chipset, the P45, has evidently been licensed to carry the ATI Crossfire 'secret code'. It is also slated for release the same time as the X48, considered an enthusiast chipset.

Quote:
Intel has received an license to support CrossFireX on its upcoming P45 chipsets, according to sources at motherboard makers.
I hope, as the article eludes to, this places pressure on NVidia to be a bit less stingy with SLI. This would benefit all computer users, no matter what video card or CPU they use.

The problem: NVidia will not license SLI chipset code to Intel. Why? They have their own chipsets - they are competitors.

This will hopefully unfold into a major benefit for system builders, having a single chipset that has the ability to run GPU cards in both Crossfire and SLI.

It would certainly make motherboard selection a bit easier.
