During the past weeks we implemented several more detailed maps for the ‘map search functionality’:
Exciting to see how the amount of accommodations is growing up every day! Warm welcome to everybody.
Have fun - the belodged.com team
Members of belodged.com are now able (optional) to choose their interests and hobbies. For what? If user is looking for a free accommodation he/she is getting sometimes (for example in Germany, Berlin) a huge number of contacts. We implemented a sort algoritm who is taking care, that every contact will be shown as often as the other.
But now - additional - you are able to filter the results by looking for interests. Attention: (more…)
As discussed in the member forum and requested by our users we implemented an “absence function”. This means: You can deactivate your account for a limited time frame (holiday, ill, not reachable etc.) . Result: In the search for accommodations you will show up as “away” and user do not try to contact you for nothing.
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).
Solved: The problem is solved. You can use the full text search again.
problem: As we noticed already in December. The search for accommodations gives - lets say it this way - not the best results at the moment. We still having some problems implenting the old data before the relaunch. Please use in the meanwhile the search over the maps. This is the best way. We hope we will solve the problems until next week. Thank you!
