Well, this feature is going to be tested for a while before being integrated within the belodged.com community … Anyhow, we’ll keep you in the loop…

We had many question from users, other webmasters and bloggers about how we can provide a banner or button for linking to belodged.com .

So we created a whole bannerset and some tipps and tricks for a better link exchange. Feel free to use them. The HTML code for sure can be modified like you want. Here some examples:

The full list and HTML Code you find here: http://www.belodged.com/linkhelp

Additional we optimized the Balance Value (BV) System within the member area. Members who use a personalized link (you will find this next to the link exchange form (follow Member Navigation >> Community)) will now also increase there BV when a new member is coming from your link.

To improve the quality of belodged.com and really have a “vital” community we will implement a new function until the end of this week.

You send a user a request/message over the anonymous messaging system. Nobody is bond to provide you an accommodation. But to get an answer is just friendly. You will have the possibility to send a reminder to the user. If the user is not logging in within the next 4 weeks - his/her account will be disabled.

But what is when you are on holiday? Remember - we have implemented a “absence” function. Please use this.

For us it is not important having as much user as possible - like in other portals. For us and especially for you it’s important having really active users to start your travel adventure - and not just dead user names.

Any comments? Disussions?

Just a thank you to our belodged.com user «Sunkist». She/he informed us about a small bug during contacting other users. This was solved in minutes.

Thank you very much
The belodged.com Team

Every CITY and REGION you can find in the database was written by a belodged.com user. This means when you look for “Rio” and you find as a result:

Country: USA
Region: Bavaria
City: Rio de Janerio

our programmers didnt drank to much ;o). A user was given us this information about his accommodation during the registration or modification process. What can we do against this? Not much … It’s on you - the community. Please inform the user via the messaging system about his small mistake. For sure you can contact us too. But we will contact the user again - so its faster when you do it ,o).

In the future we will implement a small monitoring system. But if the community is growing up like it’s doing right now so fast … its on you ;o).
