Marvin here with my Curve 8530...
QUESTION:: Where in the mobile forums can I see the leaders in KUDOS and the leaders in solving the problems?????

MY REASON:: A contributor got all up in my butt... He said I was the leader in KUDOS and that I was giving them to myself... My device will not let me give Kudos to my own post. I can see myself as being the leader of giving kudos (respect in my books) but this man claims different and if u check my post history u will see who it is... I don't like any type of drama or gossip... I really appreciate the people here in these forums with all the accuracy I have gotten when I have a problem. PLEASE... If a forums supervisor or whatever title they carry in here can answer my questionan it will most definitely be appreciated.. By the way I noticed alot of posts have been removed from this section to another section... I think I'm in the right section.

I don't believe you can view the Kudos leaderboard from the mobile site.

However, I just viewed your Kudo activity and you do seem very fairly spreading Kudos around to those who assist you, and of course you can always throw more my way ... right? (just kidding).

I see you've gotten a total of ten kudes from one user a few weeks ago. Seems fair to me.

Good luck!

Wow really??? Because I have not answered any questions until today...and I'm a trusted contributor... LOL...how do they get those rankings? Plus would you please tell me who gave me all those kudos... Seems I have a secret admirer... I'm stumped...
THANKS

How the heck did I manage to get 10 kudos from one user??? I couldn't even give u 2 on this post. I'm wondering if there is not a bug on this page...

Marv, in early April you received 10 kudos from Bifocals here on one post. The more advanced posters here gain a higher Kudo giving level with advancement in their posting and logins, helping, etc, some odd algorithm which NASA has not yet completely figured out.

Oh sorry I spaced answering your question... Been ill with the flu... I will mail that answer to u in a second but kudos to you and I usually give kudos to anyone who takes the time to stop and try to help me with an answer...

There is no view to see the contributors that have posted messages that are acepted as solution. Neither on the mobile forum or on the desktop forum.

Wouldn't it make sense to add this feature?

I would also like to see the addition of a tagging feature that lets Forum users know if suggestions / comments have been acted upon by RIM / BlackBerry (the company), or If suggestions have been noted in this light.

This would help bridge the gap between BB users' technical discussions/suggestions/feedback in the "Community" Forum and BB / RIM. It would also encourage people to be more actively involved in the Forum because they could see channels leading from the forum to real developments/changes being made (not just on an individual level).

Conversely, without this feature, the forum seems like RIM/BlackBerry has cut itself off from its user base, with the forum functioning a more like a notice board than a "Support" base that its name suggests.

Kudos is a great feature, but seems more focussed on how much assistance people have provided (free of charge) to other BB users is appreciated, rather than whether this assistance has been useful to RIM/BlackBerry.  

How is the Kudos system relevant to forum users in terms of support, other than it being a way for them to grade support-givers, and wouldn't a more functional reward system make more sense?

I would give Kudos to BlackBerry/RIM if I could see that this suggestion was being acted upon.

fer9us, it is my understanding this is being considered but meanwhile using the advanced search feature you can designate your search to include only accepted solutions.

Why give em' ideas??? U sure not gonna get paid for it... Some developer from tin buck two iowa will get the credit and a FAT paycheck... And don't expeect them to set those alerts anytime soon for when your idea actually comes to play... Just my opinion...
