All knowledge is equally welcome in our community, may it be about your
profession, your home town, your opinion or even about a card trick you know
well.
Our advice is to share what you enjoy doing and talking about, a field in which
you would like to get to know new people, to teach, study, and further expand
your own knowledge skills.

The knowledge tree is the logical way knowledge is arranged within UBpedia,
in the form of knowledge branches, starting from seven base branches:
Professional, Sciences, Recreational, Spiritual, Abstract, News and World
and further categorized in sub-branches, as needed; For example:

Professional::Food::Cooks and chefs
or
Recreational::Music::Guitar Playing::RockN'roll  etc.


This allows all knowledge fields to be presented and found easily.

Our community is all about shared online knowledge. Our main focus is to
provide the fastest way to connect people who seek knowledge with online
people who are willing to share their knowledge. When you navigate to our
"search" or "browse" Web pages, the website identifies you as seeking online
knowledge, and displayes the current number of people online and available in
the relative knowledge branch.
When seeing this format: groupname ( 18 / 79 ), the meaning is 18 people are
online, out of a total of 79 registered members of the groupname knowledge
branch.

One of the biggest advantages in a community are the members' feedbacks.
As soon as a community starts interacting, natural connections are born, and
people start getting to know each other. UBpedia offers a simple feedbacking
system, in which the Level and stars are two indications of overall community
feedbacks.

The Level indicates the member's activity level. Each level signifies this
member has helped another member one time, and can be granted once
during a chat.

The stars indicate the knowledge quality - the average score of all quality votes
received by other members.
Each voting member has only one quality vote per knowledge skill, which can
be edited during chats.

The recorded chats are previously held chats where members have answered
an online question and saved the chat for public use.

The answering member is the one deciding whether or not to save the chat.
When saving the chat, the member chooses the chat's title and performs basic
editing for future readers to easily find the already provided solution.

* Note : Only the answering member's name is saved with chat.

* If the requesting side is a registered UBpedia member, he/she has an option
to save his/her member name as the student side of the chat ( default is
anonymous for the student side )

The main difference is UBpedia specializes in online knowledge, meaning the
ability to instantely find, connect and study LIVE from a knowledgeable person.

Other sites usualy provide knowledge in the form of offline content (previously
written articles and answers), while our key focus is on online human contact.
In the near future UBpedia members will also be able to contact a whole online
knowledge group (branch), receive chosen news feeds and more.
