CCC XX - The question and answer thread

[Witz Bricks]

Alright, thanks for the quick response!

I've got a question about the Small Castle category... so will something like an outpost work? What I want to build is something more like two towers that are connected

A castle is a fortified building (or set of buildings). Some outposts would certainly qualify. Many real castles are our started out as just a keep (which is just a tower).

A point of clarification for all three castle categories:

A castle is a complete castle. It is not just an interior. It is not just a wall section. It is not just a corner of the interior.

I came for a question and will leave with an answer without asking anything

Guess I’ve got some ( a lot ) more building do…

Thanks for the heads-up Bluesecrets!

Hi I don't have any account or website to put the photos of my submission on. Is a facebook post okay?

No Facebook will not work. There are websites with free accounts that you can host photos.

[url=https://flickr.com/]Flickr[/url] is a popular choice and has a free tier. Many people use [url=https://rebrickable.com/]Rebrickable[/url]. [url=https://imgur.com/]Imgur[/url] can be used without an account, I believe. You can even use the [url=https://ideas.lego.com/]LEGO ideas[/url] website. [url=https://blockheads.builders/creations/newest]Blockheads.builders[/url] exists, but I don't know anything about it.

Where ever pictures are posted, they must be publicly visible to people without an account.

I think https://bricksafe.com/browse would also work.

[Bishons]

Hi yes I know about all those it's just hard getting an account. I used to have a lego ideas account but it got suspended unfortunately. I need my parent's approval for an account(which I can't get) . I suppose I'll just not enter my entry

Oh wait, could I post the pictures on the forum and put the link to the photos on the forum?

True but be aware that they do not pop up instantly and that means approval takes time on my end.

?

[Ravelino]

If you still have access to https://sites.google.com/view/bishons-lego-creations/home you could just link a picture and the picture destination (if that's allowed, mods correct me if I'm wrong)

For example:
[img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/v78gJ9qxfg ... NMEg=w1280[/img]

[url]https://sites.google.com/view/bishons-lego-c ... f-the-year[/url]

I did this by right clicking the image on your front page and then selecting "copy image address", then paste it in your comment between (or simply by selecting the URL and clicking the Img button above).
Then for the url I copied it from the address bar after I clicked on the button above the first image.

[Bishons]

Hi Ravelino!
Yes I can get the front picture link off lowlug. And about the website. My dad made that google account for me and I made a website on it. It was logged out a few weeks ago and he forgot the password. So we're locked out... but I could put the pictures here in the forum and give a link to the photos in the forum. Haven't got answered by the admin yet about that one though.

Are you talking about two different forums?

In general, you can post pictures wherever you want, but they need to be publicly visible without an account. E.g. you cannot use facebook because judges cannot see facebook pictures without a facebook account. If you post to another forum, that is ok, just make sure an account is not needed to see them.
