Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Ummm, I think it was called Fire in Blender, or something to that effect.

Edit: Ah, I think it's called "Fire Tutorial". Just found the file on my computer.

It's good to go.

Awesome! I do have a quandary though, Bert. I recall that I submitted a tutorial right before the resources closed, but to my knowledge it was never reviewed and put up with the other tutorials. Will it still be able to be reviewed, or do I have to go back and re-post it once the resources re-open again?

None of the stuff written in the previous Open Beta has been removed. Articles that have not been reviewed in OB1 will, before OB2 starts, either be redirected back to the author's drafts, or accepted. Before the Resources are opened (which is after OB2), most accepted articles will be run through by Resources Managers to do a double check on quality; articles not accepted will be sent back to the author's drafts as well.

Note that anything and everything that is in the Sandbox right now shall be removed when Open Beta is over. (Granted, that's not of much value.)

Also, seems like Jargon accepted your article! mini/smile

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

It was already up. I just dashed in and checked on it. mini/smile

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Ohyay, that's nifty. mini/smile  I'm looking forward to the opening of OB2.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Well, the back end of the Resources is completely written. All I need to do now is gussy it up a bit and it should be ready to go!

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Is January 30th, the opening of OB2, GMT, or UTC, or Dutch time, seeing as that is where you are Bert?

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

It's somewhere during January 30th when I feel like doing it.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

hey guys dont tell anyone but bertl has opened the resources secretly!!!

Never mind me, I'm just here to test things out.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Yay mini/smile Nice Job!

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

It has this very.........Wikipedia feel about it, with the notable exception of being able to edit other people's articles.
EDIT: Also, you may wish to add Audacity in the post section here.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Possibly a comment section for articles and links might be an idea. Love it so far though, very accessible and professional looking. Fits well with the Bricksinmotion's already suave look.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

One thing that keeps the formatting of articles from looking as pretty as they could is that the page width stretches to fit your screen on this site, outside of the forums. It is something we intend to change eventually, so that, for instance, the front page and resources would look about the same regardless of the computer they're being viewed on.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

It's looking pretty awesome, I checked it out today (thanks BertL). Are you going to put up a tutorial on how to make posts? That sounds really newbie-ish, but I saw a Sandbox topic that had directing links like Wikipedia's 'Contents', if you know what I mean. I'd rather like to learn how to do that.

No worries, help files and stuff will be available in the final version.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

The resources was worth the wait. I'll probably write an article soon. mini/smile

Thank you. Like the BBCode, Images and Smilies help buttons to the right of these posts?

Basically, yes.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Excellent. That'll be great. How long is the Resources section going to stay open?

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

I've no idea. I'll be taking it down for a bit over the next few days (though only for, like, an hour) to apply some quick fixes to a couple of pages. I'm probably taking it down next Wednesday or Thursday to prepare it for the grand opening.
