Tedhaun Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Like the other two, I wish anyone who applies for News Poster the best of luck, and I'm excited to see a new blue name posting the news for the TDN faithful. :yes: Quote
Haill Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Hi! I don't know whether to apply or not - I am coming on 14 (not quite perfect, I know) but I don't quite fit into the time slot - I would be on from 8.30/9pm NST to 10pm NST and longer on the weekends - practically all day Saturday at least. I know it's again not perfect, but I would absolutely LOVE to be a part of the team. I understand if it is not appropriate though. Thanks so much! :laughingsmiley: I would love to know if I would be able to! P.S - I think I fill all the other requirements though, including the HTML, but I guess that wouldn't be too hard to find! ^_^ Quote
Ruka Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I think I might want to apply too! ^_^ Quick question: what's BBCode? ^_^ Quote
Tedhaun Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I think I might want to apply too! ^_^ Quick question: what's BBCode? ^_^ BBCode is short for Bulletin Board Code, you can learn more about BBCodes used for TDN right here, or click the circle icon with the question mark on it (it should look like this: ).

hrtbrk Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I think I might want to apply too! ^_^ Quick question: what's BBCode? ^_^ The type of coding you use to format forum posts :) Hi!I don't know whether to apply or not - I am coming on 14 (not quite perfect, I know) but I don't quite fit into the time slot - I would be on from 8.30/9pm NST to 10pm NST and longer on the weekends - practically all day Saturday at least. Heya! Unfortunately, we're looking for users who can be on in the specific time frames that are listed because that is when News is most often discovered or released! Hopefully your schedule can clear up in the near future :D Quote
DeAndra Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Good luck to all applicants! I look forward to more new team members! :) More blue names for the win! Quote
Haill Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Heya! Unfortunately, we're looking for users who can be on in the specific time frames that are listed because that is when News is most often discovered or released! Hopefully your schedule can clear up in the near future :D Oh, ok! I sent an aplication before I saw this though, and I didn't quite understand what BBCode was, so I just put plain text in :ohno: Oh well. But yeah, if you ever need someone in those time frames, or early in the morning, I'm all ears! Thanks! Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 If that's BBCode, then what's HTML? Is it the same? (Random Thought: I pronouce BBCode as BBC Code. :P) Quote
Sweetdang Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Good luck to everyone who's thinking of applying! I love BBCodes. :D They're fun and stuff to know, memories and untilize. ^_^ Quote
Mouseykins Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I would apply, I'm on during both those time frame and fit most of the other requirements. Right now my schedule isn't open enough to allow me to be part of the news team. I wish everyone who applies luck! Quote
Xepha Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 If that's BBCode, then what's HTML? Is it the same? (Random Thought: I pronouce BBCode as BBC Code. :P) It is not the same. HTML | BBCode Our main news use BBCode because it's posted from the forums, whereas news in our department are fully using HTML. All our news are then styled with a Cascade Style Sheet (CSS). Good luck to all the future applicants! Quote
Sweetdang Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I know HTML and BBC, but what's CSS? EDIT: I searched it up, but mt brain isn't working, and i still don't understand. :/ Quote
Piticent Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 basically, here's the difference between all 3, for those who dont understand: HTML (Hyper-Text-Markup-Language): This is the basic skeleton of a webpage. it's the foundation, and It's what you use, generally, to create any type of content on a webpage CSS (Cascading-Style-Sheets): This is the sprinkles on top, the bells and whistles. This, generally speaking, is what you use, in addition to HTML using the <style> tag, to style the content, or make it prettier BBCode (Bulliten-Board-Code): This is very similar to HTML, but, there is a crucial difference. It is the code used on forums because if HTML was allowed instead of BBCode, certain malicious tags could be used to harm the webpage. So this doesn't go on and on, if you're still confused, PM me and I will try to clarify. :) Quote
Ruka Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Another Quick Question: Has anyone younger than 16 been a TDN staff member before? Yes/No Quote
Noog Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Another Quick Question: Has anyone younger than 16 been a TDN staff member before? Yes/No Yes. I believe we may have one right now, and I think Co turned 16 not too long ago. Quote
Anime Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Yes, a number of people on staff joined when they were younger than 16. I joined when I was 13, but that was quite a long time ago. Quote
Ruka Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Thanks Noog and Anime! So, it's possible getting accepted to be a TDN staff even if you're not 16! Quote
I Love TDN Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Do we need a specific amount of posts in order to apply? Quote
Noog Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Nope, only the moderator position requires forums posts. Speaking of open positions, don't forget that we also have Content and BP positions open. :) Quote
I Love TDN Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Nope, only the moderator position requires forums posts. Speaking of open positions, don't forget that we also have Content and BP positions open. :) Oh okay, thanks! And is there like a thing that says how much time I must spend each day on TDN? Quote
Alice ☮ Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Nope, only the moderator position requires forums posts. Speaking of open positions, don't forget that we also have Content and BP positions open. :) What's BP exactly? (Is it something to do with battledome?) (Sorry if this is a silly question xD) Quote
Spritzie Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 What's BP exactly? (Is it something to do with battledome?) (Sorry if this is a silly question xD) BP stand for Battlepedia, which is our Battledome guide site. Quote
