Profile for Bee Nice:
Possibly useful stuff:
How to unblock a loo.
A checklist that is hopefully more helpful than just flaming b3tans who haven't read the FAQ. You can cite it thus: <a href="http://b3ta.com/questions/toptips/post397139/">please see checklist (items X, Y, and Z)</a>
I wrote a poem, but I prefer this edit:
Into the stillness
Staccato notes dissipate.
The mind weighs echoes.
Sheesh, what an amateurfile! (I'm 'sposed to put 5 true facts about myself here, I think?)
I love words. B3ta's amazing. I'm a human beeing, and my work is in computer software, but not anything to do with media, pictures, or such like, alas, so I mainly lurk. I joined so I could click "I like this!" on JollyJack's amazing work, such as this: Impending Autumn.
I travel mostly by bike because I can. I have implausibly long legs. I'm a bloke and I'm married so nyeer. (I'm old, mind).
Why Bee Nice? Niceness rocks! And it's massively under-rated. Everyone thinks it's easy, or trivial, but it's not: the niceness detector looks into your VERY SOUL! I'd like to Bee Nicer. Sign in a pub here:
One of the things I most like about b3ta is that b3tans are nice.
Hmm, still a bit empty.
Here's some stuff I posted (click pics for thread):
Nut worth its own thread:
More cuddled miasmas for the compo...
I need to limber up...
I was awarded an invisible owl, called Erddig. Let me know if you catch an invisible mouse!

» Top Tips
Posting on /board? Long time since you read the FAQ?
Welcome. Essence of the rules for /board, culled from the FAQ, spiced with experience:
Golden rules (especially for n00bs):
1. Read the FAQ (it's the official 'rules'). Or you'll get shouted at.
2. If you make a mistake, be ready to say "oops, sorry!": it really helps. Don't be cocky: it makes you look like a cock.
3. Please read people's replies to your posts, and join in the conversations: they help make B3ta a community.
New threads are precious:
4. Only start a new thread if you're posting a new image that's worth it.
- If it isn't, use "Reply" in an existing thread (or make your image better!).
- Why? Because /board only holds 15 threads: each click of "Post a new message" pushes other people's work off the bottom.
- The rule seems to be: don't use a new thread if you didn't put a reasonable creative effort into making your image.
5. Don't start a new thread to re-post the same (or altered) image.
- Especially not for compo reposts: Reply lets you choose "challenge entry" too.
6. Don't start a new thread with an unmodified photo (unless of a thing you made).
7. Don't start multiple new threads: it's greedy. If you want to post more, use Reply in your existing thread (if it's still on the board).
Images:
8. Only post stuff that you made.
9. Only post stuff that you uploaded (don't leach).
10. Don't post NSFW.
11. Not bigger than 100k bytes (50k preferred). Anims: not more than 400k.
12. Not more than 700px wide.
- If it's too big, compress it until it's small enough.
- If it's still too big, post a small thumbnail with a link instead (using: <a href="blahENORMOUS.jpg"> <img src="blahThumb.jpg" /> </a>).
If you cock up:
13. Never use Delete (it also removes everyone's replies!): use the Edit button instead.
14. If you started a new thread by accident, say sorry. (And don't delete it!).
NSFW:
Whatever you put in a message will be downloaded and seen by all b3ta readers, often on their work computer. You could get someone sacked on the spot, or put through a disciplinary investigation that's not much better, because their manager thought it looked a bit like porn from 10 feet away. Do not do it. (For the record all these are no defence: "it isn't actually porn", "you can't see his/her whatever", "you're such a prude", "but no-one complained about this one *points at some-other-image*"). You can link a NSFW image (using: <a href="nekkid.jpg">NSFW!</a>), warning people that it's a NSFW link.
This is just a summary, hopefully useful as a quick checklist when posting. I welcome suggestions for improving it (gaz me).
