Locations in the travel discussion boards

McBerg (CH) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:04:26 +0000

Thanks to a proposal made by member “mikky mouth” we added a small new feature to the travel discussion boards on belodged.com. Next to user name and picture on each article there is from now on the author’s country displayed as well…

In addition please watch further features shown in the screen shots below!

If you have any other idea for improving the belodged.com portal then come forward with a proposal by sending an e-mail or – even better – just leave a message on the discussion boards in the member area of belodged.com.

We would really appreciate it! Thank you!

Proudly presenting: the 'Community Ambassador'

McAlm (CH) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:59:28 +0000

The time is over where technical nerds raked up the discussion boards and answered your questions. From now on any e-mail correspondence from ‘programmers’ to the belodged.com community is stopped. Only the cool Twitter tool remains in the hands of the belodged.com staff. Once the team finishes sending Twitter messages, this will also be passed on to the ambassadors.

Though what are the ‘engineers’ belodged.com-twitter using for? They simply complain about the new ‘community ambassador’… ;o)

Well, it might happen that you recently stumbled upon a dude named “Community Ambassador” . This guy’s mission is to take care about you and the entire belodged.com community. His ‘job’ is to answer your questions, to give feedback, to solve problems and to give advice to new and “active” members whatever they might bring up…

What you cannot see: He works like hell! He takes all the notes he get from YOU and bothers the programming team, the translators, the designers and everybody else involved in the further development of the belodged.com project / idea. As a result the team from belodged.com become more and more busy in order to get this never-ending load of work properly done.

So what exactly is the idea behind this ‘Community Ambassador’?

It is just as simple: Taking care about YOU!

This Community Ambassador is going to be your broker / mediator / spokesperson or however you name it. Contact him in the discussion boards on belodged.com no matter what you need to know/ think or miss. In order to turn belodged.com even more hassle-free he is going to undertake everything to find the best solution for all parties involved.

But, who actually is this ‘ambassador’?

For the time being it is just 1 person, Hannes Ulrich is his name, 36 years of age, called “Ambassador” by the belodged.com community.

He is fluent in English and German and already got an account in Facebook.

Apparently he lives in an happy relationship (sorry, dating is currently not wanted ;o( ).

Of course, he travels a lot. Nevertheless he promised to take all of his time available to fulfill the community’s needs.

What does he expect from you?

A warm welcome – just send him a hug
Questions, questions, questions…
Answers, answers, answers – and feedback from you
nothing more and nothing less

What can you expect from him?

Answers to your questions within a day (on weekends it may take longer , he is this type of party animal). (And please also keep the time zones in mind)…
Open-minded answers and discussions…
And always bear in mind: he is on your side, always ;o) ! Obviously he is unable to neither do any website programming, nor web design, nor is he a bank, nor is he responsible for peace and freedom in the world. But he will hardly try to do everything related to the idea behind belodged.com and give all support needed by the community. And if there is something he cannot solve he will discuss it with the belodged.com team and give you feedback – asap.
nothing more and nothing less

We made small but nice improvements within the disussion forums.

By clicking on the authors name in the forums you have now the possibility to see his belodged.com profile (for sure only for members logged in).

You have the possibility to get informed automatically about a new answer to your post/question/discussion input. You can click in the notification e-mail to go directly to this disussion. When you try to give an other feedback- you are not logged in – you will be now redirected to the login screen. After login you will return directly to the post / answer form.

[Solved]Discussion Board – Language

McBerg (CH) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 10:48:25 +0000

We are using for the discussion boards on belodged.com the tools provided by Web Wiz. Esp. regarding security and performance they are well known for a great work. At the moment we are evaluating some issues together with the guys from webwiz. Some problems are coming up by using non-english characters in the forum.

UPDATE: we got non english characters like chinese etc. working in subject and the body of a disucssion message. Still we have problems for non english user names. So the registration is still only possible with names like “myname” “chineseJohn” etc. but not with “和平” or “ЗдравейтеСветът” or something like that. This is not a very large problem – but we will work on it.

Update: Yeah – problem solved. No problem anymore with none-english characters.
