Step 1: Don't ask for it.

Step 2: Put in a few years of quality community contribution and engagement, demonstrating a certain level of maturity and capability for such a role. (My inclusion must have been a fluke mini/tongue)

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit!

Re: A Beginner's Guide to Bricks In Motion

How can I delete a film that I uploaded? Or can I?

You're pretty funny looking. You sort of remind me of...oh.
Oh.

Re: A Beginner's Guide to Bricks In Motion

I have a question, where can I put a contest video. I want to put it up here on BiM, but I feel that the Contests & Festivals topic is for HUGE and important contests. I want just for people to see mine. Help?

You should post your contest in the General Film Discussion forum:

Re: A Beginner's Guide to Bricks In Motion

I know there's been a few questions (and answers) about adding links to signatures that are images, but I still don't understand. The below image is what I'd like to use as my signature, but I cannot get my head around how you add the link to a particular area of it (in my case, the links needs to be on the Twitter logo).

Can someone please explain, with some detail, how this is possible?

Re: A Beginner's Guide to Bricks In Motion

First, if you want only the logo area to be clickable, then you need to split the image in two parts. One that's clickable and has the logo, and one that isn't clickable. If, on the other hand, you want to whole image to be clickable, then just do this:

[url=Twitter.com][img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8516/8383269958_4b5b2552e0_o.jpg[/img][/url]

And it will look like this:

With two images, do the above code with the clickable one, and then put the second image in normally. As long as there aren't any spaces, they'll line up on their own.

Re: A Beginner's Guide to Bricks In Motion

As you can see, your information was very helpful indeed! Thanks for the tips - for pure ease, I went for the whole image being a link. mini/bigsmile

Re: A Beginner's Guide to Bricks In Motion

It says, "Sorry! No permission to post new topic." Does that mean I cannot create my own contest thread? I have been working on getting a legit brickfilm for a while, but I guess I am not allowed to make a new topic. How can I fix this? Is there any way I can become a moderator soon? The contest i'd like to do is very organized.(I have hosted a contest before).

Re: A Beginner's Guide to Bricks In Motion

The contest forum is a special one. The contest has to be put in the general film discussion forum then if a mod thinks it looks O.K. (if it looks like the person will keep promises of judging, prizes, and other things) and it appears to be a good contest they will move the thread.

Re: A Beginner's Guide to Bricks In Motion

Yup, what END films said.  Put it in General and if the contest is run well and is organized properly and the prizes aren't something like, say, YouTube likes or boxing in a channel (that's the easiest to see mark of a poorly run contest) then the mods will move it to the contest forum. 

P.S. Don't ask to be a mod, that's like the worst thing to do if you ever wanted to be one.

Re: A Beginner's Guide to Bricks In Motion

Can I suggest a couple of small changes to this guide?

  • The IRC server is stated as 'irc.msgplus.net' -  the IRC has actually moved to 'irc.tawx.net'. While the msgplus link usually redirects to the tawx link fine, I've found some chat clients don't play well with it.

  • The link to a list of staff should probably be changed to GentryStudios' recent thread.

If you use YouTube shortlinks like https://youtu.be/rdMmUPjM75k or links with things at the end like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdMmUPj … =youtu.be, it won't activate the watch button on the Directory. You need to have basic YouTuke links like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdMmUPjM75k for the watch button and embed player to appear.
