Billyonaire: I only suggested Paid VIP Section, a section not the entire forum. Can someone help me tell this dude in vernacular ?

biolabee:

Very costly.... but i like the quote notification idea

caseless: quote notification when u have the textfield below ur page where u can type ur moniker and see where ur post was quoted or id was mentioned? Una wan make seun give everything?

Michky: Yes, the sexuality section is not visible to everyone but its been thriving so far. Let me also remind you that the Sexuality section thrives because it is driven by a very strong and popular emotion. This VIP section on the other hand is not as simple as it looks. Besides, what exactly will the members be doing there? Will NL have to create a duplicate forum for you because of your small change? As for me, your vip idea is a no no. My opinion though.

biolabee:

Not on my PC, its so huge i feel my eyes can fall in
Id it is for ads.. it can be broken into small grid like boxes to break the seeming vacuity

To me, the reason some of you are advancing for this feature isn't cool. Threads should not only be about you responding to those who quote you. It narrows the debate and I don't think it will help the threads much. People will simply become lazy to read other posts and contribute once they become "locked" into a one on one debate. Especially with the tribal fights on NL. It will either kill some threads or make it very long without substance. And most importantly, a guest reading the thread might find it boring as the debate will not be robust. Just my thought.

Michky: Many people didnt know this before now. I inclusive.

ewizard1: [size=24pt] For now, all we need is an app. A NL app for smooth and easy thread surfing. Pls meditate on this!!! God bless all NL Team.[/size]

biolabee:

Thats like a search field
What they mean is a prompt if ur post is quoted so you can respond in good time and reduce disconnects especially for threads that go viral

Also is it possible to make quoted posts uneditable so that people dont put words in your mouth...

Michky: Many people didnt know this before now. I inclusive.

biolabee: ^^^ Point made. nice one!

Can we have a floating Go Up or down button at the side

caseless: u can enjoy and teach others too. Thank u!

biolabee:


just tried it now and it works!!

GOOD JOB CASELESS!

Michky: Will do just that. Thanks.

caseless: noted! The 'go up or down' look analogue to me.....sometimes it dosnt respond to command.

H$LBroker:
Seun if we are quoted here we suppose to be getting an alert at top of nairaland, many people had been quoted unknowingly to them because they don't revisit the thread they comment or posted to reply there citer.

I don't know how much Seun makes from NL but some of you need to also consider the business implication of this. Sending a notification mail, depending on the site traffic, can be a huge cost. That means, if there are 50000 quotes a day, the server will send 50000 emails. That is in addition to what the server already processes. But like I said, I don't know what Seun really earns so maybe he can afford it.

EmmanuelOnu: I was the one that first noticed when it was changed!!! UP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Afam4eva:

But you know there's a benefit derived from doing that which in turn becomes cash for his pocket. Sending notifications of mentions will definitely bring a lot of people back to Nairaland which will invariably increase the click rate of the ads.

Billyonaire: This is why I need VIP Section, someone needs to pay to come hurl stones at me.

Billyonaire: Why are the calls for paid VIP section not listened to ? I keep asking for it.

olempe: Oga Seun, abeg when you go do the "unlike" button??
