Field to mention contest awards?

Quoted from Bogey Field to mention contest awards?

Good idea! Also, a place to mention you have coverage where the script has received CONSIDERS or RECOMMENDS. Assuming here that no one would mention the PASSES.  

This is a suggestion about the site in general, not necessarily for Producers or Directors (though it might help them as well).  When reading the comments in a script thread (assuming they do), you come to the bottom of a page and then have to scroll all the way back up to get to the Portal.  Now, they probably don't use the Portal, but if they do, it might help to have the links you have at the top (Portal,Chat,Home, etc.) at the bottom as well.  Okay, it just may be me, but that's what I would like to see.  Good navigation will get them where they need to go.

Maybe even navigation buttons on the side that don't move.

I like some of the other suggestions already mentioned and think it's a great idea what you're doing.

Thanks.

The option to include a synopsis would be useful.

Some great suggestions.

Steve,

How would this differ from the logline?

This I may be able to pull off pretty quickly.

Good idea.

There are some keys on your keyboard... simply pressing 'Home' will take you back to the top of a web page. You can also press 'page Up' and 'Page Down' to move in smaller increments.

Yes, but that would entail either removing my one hand from the mouse or setting down the sandwich in my other hand.

Both are entirely too much of a bother.

Thumbs up for a portal button at the bottom of the page!

Yeah, I can't figure out if I'm just lazy or want to be more efficient.  Now I'll go make a sandwich.

Thanks, both of you are jerks.

Now I'm hungry too.

major jerks!!

Quoted from Don Some great suggestions.   Steve, How would this differ from the logline?

A logline is a one to two sentence summary of the script.
A synopsis is a detailed breakdown of the script, from act one to the act three. This ONE PAGER has been requested from producers, sort of a back cover blurb, but it's a bit mnore than that and often overlooked.
It could be placed under the logline, producers often ask for a one page synopsis.

I think the better we all get at writiing these one pagers, the better our scripts will be.

The benefits include: You could tell from the synopsis that the writer has given a shit. He/She has bothered to write the breakdown of the script in three short paragraphs.

Hey guys,
    I came across this post by accident:
http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1095531482/s-60/#num73

And I was amazed at how concise this all was.  Isn't this kinda what you are looking for?  A place where a director or producer could look over everything the site has, then click on what they want to see?

Sure, it'd need to be revamped and make sure that the links work properly, but, it's all there.

It should have its own post.  We all love Janet, but, isn't it time to take down the card for Janet for her surgery (which she kicked azzz in her recovery!! ) and perhaps post it there, that way, anyone interested in making a movie could see it in the main section, and click on it.

I looked at some of your listings and some of you have over 20 things listed, that's a ton of work, just lost to the antiquities of this site....  And that's sad...

Just my 2 cents.

Dan

Quoted from Don This I may be able to pull off pretty quickly. Good idea.

Don, just so you know, I use the NEW buttons at the bottom all the time now.  And not just because it was my idea.   Thanks for doing this so quickly!

Actually, here's a recommendation (that may have already been suggested, but this is a long thread and too dense to wade through):

I'd suggest adding a filter for:
Feature vs. Short
Genre (with multiple options)

In other words, if one wants to click buttons for SF Shorts (or SF - Comedy Shorts), there would be an easy-peasy way to pull up a short list.  My five cents!  

Sorry to bump an old thread but this seemed the most relevant to raise this point.

I decided to peruse these forums on my mobile while on the train last night and quickly changed my mind as I was presented with the Desktop version. It was pretty unreadable on my Samsung Galaxy S4. Yes I need an upgrade but  apart from that, mobile devices are quickly outpacing desktops for people’s preferred method of browsing, so if you want to make this site more producer/director friendly I’d look into providing a mobile version of the site if that is possible.
