It's true tht the font size and color is nothing to write home about.I welcome change, but not a retrogressive one,for crying out loud, My eyes fucking hurt! Alas, Nl has become a part of me so I'm stuck like glue.

This Seun na real enterpreneur. I gbadun your style.

The guy sabi say change is not easy, so its useless asking for opinion from the masses, he just decided to do it. I dey with you jare, though I must admit, i am finding it difficult to adjust.

Seun, i suggested that you do an Heuristic evaluation earlier, sincerely you have refused to consider the users of this site. The front is very bad and the setup is clumsy. I need to save my eyes so i will pop in once in a while. cheers

im used to changes...so for me the change is not the issue really but the very bad font that makes the pages look like the early days of the internet and very hurtful to the eyes!

i will pop by once in a while to see how the updates are going...since i know the Guy is not stupid an therefor will listen to people for sure and change the fonts to make it look as posible to NL1 and i do not see any technical reason why he can not do so.

the rest of the changes will only take me few minutes to look over and get used to!

thanks Sean for putting the site together and if u feel u need some add revenue, go ahead, i dont mind advertising at all!just make sure they r not too loud as the site currently is!

i have to go now as im getting headaches from looking at the site as is now...but like i said, i will be back since i expect changes

I think its mainly a commercial move. I see more banners on the home page. I think its very clunky and rigid to use at the moment. I mean if nothing I expected the upgrade to support the use of pictures or avatars of users and accomodate more letters or characters at your post footer. Now you can't even see a persons footer comment or link. I think that's a huge retardation for a forum of this age. Its not only jobless and bored people that patronize this forum. There are communities of professionals here as well especially in the technology section. I for one got my job and a lot of buisness contacts because of this site. The footer used to be a place where u could learn a thing about the poster or even get a link to their website. Also I think its silly to expect people to view posts based on hours and minutes they were posted alone like we are some military robots as opposed to seeing the time based on today, yesterday etc. Like in the old one. Also some of the font colors are products of terrible web design. I mean you really have to squint to read some of the content. Its not an excuse to say you did it yourself or whatever. Or u think facebook would have gotten to where it is today if he kept doing everthing himself? Employ people like coders that are better than you to help fix the difficult things you complain about. Graphic artists and designers and web designers to come up with a practical look for the forum. You are making money from the advertising for gods sake! You don't even have to go anywhere to get the best hands. You have it all here right here on nairaland! There are already many better forums today in nigeria based on both visua and functionality. The only thing nairaland has better is the users who have already set camp here and just won't be bothered to start over else where. You keep making it harder or less usable for them then you are basically and systematically donating your users elsewhere.

@OP: I'm still deciding. Honestly, the idea of using something that is a hassle is just a bit much for me. One thing I liked about the old version of Nairaland was that it functions were easy to manage. This reminds me of when Myspace started doing shït that was over the top and unnecessary. Like I'm mentioned before, I'm not tryin' to throw shade on Seun, but just basic maneuvering has become a nuisance. As a whole, I applaud his effort. I'm actually thinking about joining Naijapals cry
Re: The New Nairaland: Are You Staying Or Leaving? by dawoyo(m): 12:43am On Mar 13, 2012
To be honest, I prefer this version... Nice work Seun.

I think I'm starting to get used to the new nairaland. At least it no longer feels as if I typed the wrong URL whenever the front page comes up on my device and I have also noticed some improvement.
