Major Update! Unity 1.0.

In line with  other steps of getting our sites packed into one, we are updating Boonex Unity, now incorporating Expertzzz.com functionality and adding more.

1.0.0

Unity is a sophisticated system and it's gaining traction. For convenience sake we'll now be tracking update versions and the latest is now known as Unity 1.0.0.

What's New

You'd better try it out. You'll see a lot of big and small changes here. Most notably, you will now see Extensions, Jobs and Ads here, which means that we decided to launch an alternative to Expertzzz.com here. We just took all our experience, your comments/complaints/suggestions and built a new system with the primary focus on security and quality.

 

Ok, here's how we're going to do that... Expert status is no longer as simple as falling down - you have to earn it and prove that you are an Expert. This you can do by submitting one free Extension for review by our admins. yes, that would mean that you have to provide at least one free Extension to maintain your Expert status. A little bit of free stuff the the community and you have your business opportunity to sell your other works here.

 

Next, every single Extension submitted will have to pass an approval process, which will involve both moderators and admins.

 

And, finally, every active Extension has to maintain a high rating to stay available for purchase. That rating will include both the product quality and support quality factors.

Memberships

Check out the new membership levels. It should be pretty self explanatory, but your questions are still welcome.

 

All in all, you may see that we're trying to involve more community participation in making this system secure and free of spam/fraud/leeching.

 

Expertzzz.com

...will stay on. Yes, we're not shutting it down, for it is full of great data, valuable products and healthy activity. Moreover, we have some plans on how to improve it. The main difference, however, is that Expertzzz will now go it's own, independent way and will be more open, which may be both bad and good, depending on how smart and careful you are.

 

Accounts from Expertzzz and Contributor statuses are now merged with the new Unity.

 

Forums

The topics structure is very different from that of Expertzzz, as was suggested by many of the Unity members. We believe that the new structure would follow a more logical path to critical information.

 

Is this it?

No way! This is only the tip of the iceberg. Now we need YOU to help us sort out the best ways to run the new Unity and make it even better. We need your feedback as never before, for we're now getting ready for something extremely important - and that's coming up soon!

i love the look, i even love the fact that it was my post that i started that made you act on this, only have a few minor issues:
#1 i had to use 2 different accounts as my user name was already taken on expertzzz when i had already signed up here as sammie. and sammie99 on expertzzz.
#2 it shows i have 95 days as a contributor, (just paid for it again last night) but i do not have access to either the contributor forum, that is showing as empty (guessing you took my advice and combined it into see more the one forum so everyone can lookup the info they need) or is it a bug?
#3 only 6 contributors are listed?
#4 still no comment on the missing admin/moderator chat controls in dolphin 6.1.1 can someone comment on this?

HI! I am having problems with my ad-free license. The links in the footer were removed following the release of 6.1.1 but I noticed to my amazement that they where present again. I have also noticed that in 'my licenses' my ad-free license is no longer registered. I was wondering whether this is related to the update. I want to launch asap so any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick

just how many times do you want to repeat this crap?

Clean cache and reload page (or just click ctrl-f5)
sammie
how many time you gonna post this crap?
esteem
due to the error in firefox i have accidentally submitted a few times.
gkcgautam
The first extensiton which we have to submit would be free for download??? If yes, that means we will need to make one for becoming an expert. Can't our points or avg. at Expertzzz help?

As a consumer and not a programmer I think the logic is clear. We want to know who you are and what you are capable of before we start shelling out the cash. If I were a programmer I would want my free offering to be something really dynamic and cool which would attract customers to buy from you again and again.

As you can see above "... Expertzzz will now go it's own ...", therefore all your activity on the Expertzzz is activity in the different system. If you want to work here you need to start from the very beginning.

Actually, I think it looks okay on firefox. No problems here.

now it looks ok after refreshing the page a few times.

MAJOR PROBLEM!
The free licence generator doesn't work.
It generates a licence, but then they wont work!
All my old ones have gone?
AntonL
We had some problems with license checking and displaying in the "My Licenses" section. They are resolved. You should see your licenses(Free, Annual and Lifetime) now.

NIce new look!

Hi,

Where can I find my smart pro back area (eg licence number, downloads) in the new unity? Beside this I get 404 errors in the new unity.

Regards, Herbert
AntonL
"Smart Pro" section was fixed. Check it.
Herbert
whats about contributor status for registered smart pro users?
sammie
you are buying a product, people like myself that are contributors are giving cash to support the development
Juker
Purchasing a SmartPro package includes three years contributor status. My contributor status is missing also.
AlexT
Contributor statuses was transferred from expertzzz.com site

I am having problems with nmy ad free licenses since the change. Can someone please address this?
veroticguide
I just tried to register a new ad free license and that doesn't work either. Anyone have a solution on removing the branding that was readded this morning?
AntonL
You should see your "Ads Free" licenses now. Try to reregister your software. The licenses should be accepted if you use them with the suitable package(Free, Ads Free).
homeandpet
We have the same issue. The licenses are not working for new install.
Juker
Same deal - All of my Smartpro licenses and downloads are missing. I'm sure you guys will fix this and overall this is a great idea. I'm looking forward to the day all of your software and add-ons will incorporate auto installers instead of everyone struggling to do manual upgrades.
AntonL
Smart Pro and My Licenses sections are fixed.
Downloads from Expertzzz won't be transfered on the new Unity. You can redownload them from the Expertzzz only.

Liking the new look.

As for the post above about firefox, maybe its just you as its not giving me any problems and i've tried 3 separate PC's (all of which are on diff networks/sites), not that that really makes any difference ;)

I am very confused with Support... I have been trying to get support for months now.

After I posted a complain on this blog, I got an email .. but when I send the list of things I need .. I get silence.

I sent this email on May 9.. .then again a few days ago.. no response. Seems like posting on this blog is the ONLY way to get a response.

Hi Artur,

It is very very strange ... but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

You guys need a "Trouble Ticket" system where we can open tickets
online instead of sending email.

Here's is the stuff ... some of these my get fixed if we upgrade to 6.1.

1. Link on comments do not work. They take you back to the main page.

2. Import of users is incomplete. TONS of users from Spain when they are obviously
from some other country. Note that Spain is the default country.

3.Orca allows non-members to post. Would like to limit it to only member as "anonymous" posts
show the photo of the currently logged person.. and I get tons of complains because of that. I looked
around in the forums and changed settings .. but they don't work.

4. www.amistad.com/cafealmediodia is extremely slow ... rest of the site and other profiles are fine.

5. Would like to upgrade to 6.1 ... to se if it would fix some of the bugs. I have 6.04 ...

Let me know if some of these are not covered .. and how much would it be.

Thanks,

Richard
