Re: Directory Screencast

A film doesn't need to be accepted for its thread to appear in the forum.  Just submitting the film automatically creates a thread.  In fact we'll probably disable posting threads in the films forum the normal way.

Oooh Snazzy.

New film coming soon...

Re: Directory Screencast

Does clicking the submit button automatically generate a thread in the forums with the info you put in?

Re: Directory Screencast

When you click submit the form is checked for any errors, if there are errors you are required to go back and fix them, if not and you checked the "Would you like to submit your film for discussion in the forums?" it creates it thread automatically.

Perhaps you could have something to denote a placing in a contest?

I agree with that, it could make a nice little addition to the film description or whatever...

It looks great! Thanks for all the work you're doing, SlothPaladin.

Re: Directory Screencast

I really like the idea of a review panel, that sounds excellent!

Was something new added, because the actual idea of a review panel is nothing new.

Re: Directory Screencast

Perhaps JamesW isn't familiar with the past set up at BF.

We have a lot of neat features planned for the directory (the film page from the video is nothing like what the final result will be) but for now we're trying to avoid giving too many specifics on elements we haven't completed work on yet.

Isnt it that you usually release your film to the public, and then submit it to the directory? If so, a thread would already be made.

Re: Directory Screencast

Well that's how it has been due to the old BF design.  The question is there for films that already have threads, as in films already posted in the forum that will be submitted to the directory, to avoid creating a second thread.  Most likely we will disable creating new threads in the Releases forum so that everything posted will automatically be submitted to the directory.  (If a film isn't completed it shouldn't be posted in the Releases forum anyway, though if a director were to make some changes retroactively, that shouldn't be a problem.)

Re: Directory Screencast

Difficult to say, the info will be editable somehow.
