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.

@ram, badges are something which tells how important your role is on boddunan. You get the badges as and when you met the criteria required by each badge. The more number of badges you win, the more active and popular you are (with the specific features of boddunan).
We have introduced 12 badges for forums, including 10 based on number of posts, 2 based on number of thank you received.
Someone wonder what's the difference between badge and forum rank. A forum rank is the single title you hold at any point of time. Once you reach higher rank, you will loose the lower one. Where as you earn badges and they stay on your account. People can find who and how many have won particular badge etc. Your profile shows, everywhere, how many you earned etc.

The purpose and significance of Badges were clear right from the beginning

let me share a few personal opinions though I need to know a little more about the new system.
It's a nice idea to give badges according to the activities here. if total contribution to the site is calculated according to article submission, cash earned through articles etc....it's a nice idea. members will work more to get more badges . sure :) :)
But forum rank is something that I can't digest :blink: :blink:
what I understood is giving ranks to people according to their activity, thank you and Karma achieved, total posts, points etc.....
But is it necessary to rank members like this? It's sure, only one person can hold a particular rank at a particular time. It changes like ATP ranking of tennis. Is it necessary?
I feel, whole nature of our forum will change......from a friendly forum it will surely change to a competition field of achieving high ranks, that will kill the real purpose and fun of forum.
But if more than one member is giving same rank like 3 stars, 4 stars etc based on their performance, it's OK. Everyone works well to get more stars. :) otherwise forum will lose its present friendly and fun nature for sure.
