Hi All,

We are updating our software to meet the quality requirements as well as provide you the best experience on Boddunan. Over the next few days, you will see most of the features gets updated. The article section is already got updated and will soon complete full updates. So please read the following.

1. The points system will be moved to a completely new software which we developed. Though your existing points will be accessible to you, we advise you to take a back up copy (Dashboard -> Points ->Download Full Activity). The new system will only have the total points that you earned till the launch date ( we will announce the launch date very soon)

2. A new badge system is being introduced to recognize the members who are the backbones of the site. You will get awarded with the different badges at different stages. For example you post 100 articles, your article gets 10k views, you answered 100 questions, you created 50 polls and so on are few examples.

We are creating the new badges for each activity, and we would love to see your input.

3. We have too many profile pages, we are getting away with all of them and will have a common profile page for each member. You can find it on newly developed pages or from My Profile link on top of this page. Please update your avatar. All boddunan features will soon adapt to this profile.

4. A new blog feature is introduced in articles section. Every member will have his/her blog created and can be accessible from your profile page.

5. The articles pages are revamped to make more personalized to you, adds author details etc.

6. A new commenting system will be introduced soon as current one is not capable of handling spam properly.

7. The article pages are completely revamped for easy navigation.

Your inputs are much appreciated.

On behalf of Boddunan Team.

Yes, you are right sandhya. People may stop giving karma and thank you as they may feel that other person may be top to them


yes, sure. me too perhaps :cheer: :cheer: ;) ;)

am sure, now am the person here giving maximum thank yous for every post I like :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Not sure why would that happen. There is no rank being given based on thank you or karma.


According to your statement, Rank is not based on Thank you and Karma. Could you please let us know what are the criteria that determine ranking?


Now profiles have stars showing awarded to members, as I can see these are based on their performances in forums (#of posts) articles published etc. Visit your own or for instance Sandhya Rani's profile as she has 10* out of possible 10* Cheers.


am not seeing it..... :unsure: :unsure:

am not against stars or badges that is really a measurement of appreciations, talent etc. I dislike 'ranking' strategy......

yes, it's true, many forums may be giving rank according to performance. Boddunan is free of such things...that's its trade mark and speciality

There is a column 'reputation' in blog. How this is defined? I see that many member including me have 'zero' reputation. This may please be explained. If reputation indeed is so bad, what are the ways to improve this?

It is the points you earned. Since it needs points system to completely take over by new one, it is not yet shown.
When will my article get approved it still shows pending.
Yes the status shows that editor approved but pending for admin review.
My article Environment-gift of god to mankind have been approved by the editor and later it has been rejected.The status shows that copied.May I know Maverick sir from where it is copied.It was written by me only.
The last paragraph is exact copy from other website (word-to-word)
Also I removed a couple of copy protected images but not sure about the others.

Please remove copied content and any images not owned by you or licensed under free license, and submit again.
Thank you for your reply.I will be keep in mind what you said.
Maverick sir I have one query.As i am still not familiar with the article till now I just want to know that if any image download from internet then it shows the image link.Then what type of image can we paste in article format.
You cannot paste the image links, use image button to insert the images. Please do not use any image from external websites unless you are sure that it is not copy protected.

will our present point system change? :unsure: :unsure:
also, will our earned points remain safe, by the introduction of new system?
i checked our top blogger page..
But I find 0 or 1 badges for even most experienced members here, having 7500+ or 10k+ posts in forum....also 200+ articles.
why their badges are missing?
Please read my first post of this topic carefully. You will get all answers there.

The badges are not yet assigned to everyone so you will not see full list.

I thought badges are computer-generated when we reach milestone. so, it's assigned by admin.
my doubt cleared :)

No no.. they are automated. But the required components are not fully installed.
