Hey, I've come across this problem a couple times, well not really a problem but sometimes I see a brickfilm by someone and want to see what else they made. Is there a way I can see all the films they submitted to bim or could you somehow add a list automatically to everyones profile? Sorry if this seems like a silly request. I know that bim has more important work to be done. 
The directory isn't fully completed yet, there are a couple features that the developers hope to add; whether or not this is one is beyond me. However, you can click on the user's name in the forums to find their profile. Then click on "View all USERNAME's topics". This will bring up a list of all the forum topics the director has created. Just look through the ones that were submitted to the Releases forum to find their other films.
You can also search the directors name using the film directory search feature.

ok thanks! both of those methods will be just as good as a list
*bump*
This isn't related to the above suggestion, but since there was a suggestion thread, why make a new one?
Anyway, I see people giving thumbs up/down in the Releases/ WIP and Tests threads for videos. Why not make a "smiley" icon of a thumbs up or down? You could use a Lego hand that "points" up or down.
In case you didn't understand, the Lego hand has a... "popping out side" (it isn't centered on arm). The popping out side can be faced up like an upward thumb, and flip it over to make it face down like a thumbs down.
Thumbs Up: 
Thumbs Down: 
Just an idea.

Why not use regular thumbs like Youtube does?
Besides, we already have a rating system in the directory.
Why not use regular thumbs...?
Because this site is based on Legos. Look at our smilies for example: 
Those hands are far too similar, and to a newbie it's not clear which side is thumbs up and which is thumbs down. Besides, the current rating system is more accurate.
This should be a general suggestions thread.
Anyway, I ask if we could receive a PM stating when our film gets reviewed so that we can read the review when it's done.
It saves us the hardship of constantly checking the new films. It's not too hard to do is it? The reviewer should just send a quick PM, maybe with a link to the page.
Thanks.
Or it could be a form letter, and the reviewer doesn't have to write the same thing over, and over, and over....and over again. The reviewer just needs to click a link that sends the form letter to the person who made the film.
Having an automated review notification has been on the to-do list since before I joined the panel. One of these days...
I really don't see a need for the reviewers PMing users every time they review a film. If the film was recommended, it appears on the front page--a page you'll likely pass on the way to your PMs--and considering the slow rate of turnover it'll stay there for a week or two at least, plenty long enough for you to see it. If it wasn't recommended, there's nothing to see aside from a single (likely disappointing) rating--and we're not about to ask our reviewers to relinquish their anonymity in these cases, either.

Yeah, but I have the FORUMS page as my bookmark, I never really see the HOME/FILMS page. But I guess you're right.
I think we either have email notifications (not pm notifications, which are a bit problematic technically) or we're close to having them. As for the original purpose of this thread:

This is something we've been planning for a while and it's being developed currently.
The BricksinMotion Twitter Feed used to work rather well for following released films, but it seems to be broken.
I was thinking that we should have a "Preview" button for our signature. Because I'm always afraid that my sig won't look good, and people will see my sig change over and over if I need to change it.
The only way people would see your sig repeatedly changing is if they (a) kept going from thread to thread and you'd posted in nearly all of them, or (b) stayed on the same thread and kept hitting "Refresh" for no reason. Neither is very likely, so I wouldn't worry too much about making changes to your sig.
