impression ur trying to create.
i don't like this.
Wise people say a half-loaf of bread is better than none. It would have been madness to throw away the friendship data.

Beaf: It would make more sense to list a users followers as well as those the user is following. That would give a more complete perspective when a users profile is visited.

you are creepy.

Seun: I recently announced our "member following" feature, which lets you instantly follow any Nairaland member you fancy without waiting for her approval. I'm pleased to inform you that the "member following" feature has now replaced the former "friendship" feature. You can't add people as "friends" anymore, but you can follow them with or without their permission. When the people you're following post new topics on Nairaland, those topics will instantly be added to your list of "followed topics".

Before this update, you could only send e-mails to moderators and your friends. Now, you can freely send e-mails to moderators and people following you. We also have a new protocol for anonymous e-mail sending, which you'll soon notice. What do you think?

I am not crazy about this new feature. I was also not crazy about the friendship feature either. I am just picky when it comes to deciding whom to interact with online. On this forum, there are too many crazy, rude, foul mouthed people whom I would have nothing to do with if I were to meet them in real life. Also, the high levels of bigotry is an utter turn off. My aim on nairaland is to post my opinion, read some threads of my interest and then log off. All this following and unfollowing is not my cup of tea. With that said, more grease to your elbows Seun.

So..now,someone brings a case of segregation: New member,old member. Wch means,enormous benefits 4 d old and minimal for the new? And people think it's a brilliant idea? And some people actually liked it?
I'l hold my peace for now. Atleast,until i see d yardstick in wch this idea would be built on.
Tag me as a new member and see if i eva log in again. Worst stil,restrict my posting rights for that matter. For what? Am i been paid to air my views?
Am waiting.

I think we should be able to know who likes a post and comment(s) we make. By that we'll know who liked a dumb comment(s)
and as the saying goes, show me your friend...

what's the meaning of this trending function?

90% of the threads there are pointless topics from sexuality and romance section.

i still think that creating that high - low impression was not a good idea. You should either have done a random selection or left it as it was. Instead of giving the impression that some seemingly low members are suckling up to the seemingly high ones. Ur statistics gotten from num posts.
Its a public forum, i get and you can please everyone so i guess i'll just relax after saying my bit

i think you have to open un-follow all of them individually what i don't think possible is if they'll leave your follow list when you un-follow but am sure u'll stop getting notifications.
Why are u un-following all your topics?

Although the idea ia a nice one that makes stalking easier, it's really becoming cumbersome. You open your followed topic and it's filled with 1001 threads that you haven't opened. Secondly, you click on following, and what do you see? A list of post by people you follow. I would have preferred a list of their names instead so that I can click on who I want to check their post. It makes me feel lost on my own page.

Ileke-IdI:

I guess you have to open them one by one and unfollow.

Seun, it would be nice if we can have a check box so that we can check all topics we want to unfollow together and unfollow at once. smiley

Plus the ones I posted in, plus the ones people who i'm following posted. I just hate all the clogged up topics. I lose interest very easily in most topics. I dont need to keep having them jump at me everytime I click a page.
