Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

I just submitted my newest one, I don't see the point in submitting old stuff, we should be filling it with refreshing new material.

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

The directory is not just for the film makers and community members, it is also for the very large group of people who enjoy watching shorts on the internet.  many of these people may not have seen great films like Robota, which is regarded as a classic.  The directory should be an archive of what we have created but coninue to grow and become the best place to find new content as well.

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

After some discussion, we have added TheNoodle26 to the BiM Review Panel.  He has written good reviews of films in the past and we look forward to his contributions.

Would it be possible to create a 'New Films' RSS feed?

Excellent! Thank you much.

Is the average time to wait on hold for a review normally two or three weeks? Sorry if I seem impatient, I just want to stop coming back here to check if my film was reviewed.

When ever they get around to it really.

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

They are going in chronological order (of submission date). It will take a while, once this queue line "hump" is surpassed, there will be a smaller waiting time.

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

It is very hard to figure what an average review time is at this point because there was a huge influx of films and the directory has only been out a few weeks. FYI out of the 90some films in the queue, Jimmybob, your film is on the first page of the review control panel (and reviewers can't look and the older pages, so that they are encouraged to review the oldest films first.)

I think I have spotted a mistake. Unless i'm just looking at this wrong: The Newest films are on page 1 but when new films are added they will go onto page 1 and the old page 1 films will become page 2 and page 2 will become page 3 and so on. This means if I was to give someone a link to page 2, it might not be the same films when they look at it. to fix this it new films will have to go onto the highest numbered page and be descending. If it's any consolation brickfilms.com made the same mistake and they still haven't finished fixing it, they just put the oldest films on the first page of the directory.

This is not a bug, you could call it a 'design flaw', addressing this will take a bit of creative thinking but it is not a major priority.

Embed the database size/revision/date into the URL and then it becomes static for that point in time.

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

it's been 11 days since I submitted a film.

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

Everybody here submitted most of the films they've ever made, obviously it's going to take us more than a week to process all of them.  Bear with us over the next couple months while we catch up with the onslaught of submissions.

Didn't you, like, say that twice already? mini/confused

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

Yeah, but people kept asking the question, so I thought I'd answer it again.

Fun fact: The oldest film in the queue was submitted 12 days ago.  By me.

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

Hey, the hyperlinks for Cast & Crew point off to forum member profiles - but forum member profiles don't point anywhere else,  You can't find all of BertL's films, for example.

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

Welcome back, Josh Parris.  Yeah, we have plans to change that.  The to-do list for the directory and the site as a whole is pretty long, but eventually the profile will probably be more integrated with the film directory.

Re: The BiM Film Directory is now open!

I only put one of my films in. The day it the directory was released.

Hey, why'd my "Pink Frosted Sprinkled Donut!" film get removed? mini/sad
