Nairaland: It's Time To Upgrade by Afam4eva(m): 12:58pm On Mar 08, 2009 |
Nairaland is undoubtedly the biggest online forum in Nigeria if not the whole of Africa, but i thin it's high time they upgrade cos they lack some basic forum features.Some of this features are: (1) You cannot quote someone's post if the person's post is not in the last page, so i feel every post made should have a quote button. (2) I think every post should come with the picture of the poster. (3) I think we should be able to code little it with HTML |

afam4eva: Rubbish! Why should people's post come with pictures and why must we go through every thread peppered with forumites pixes?! No disrespect but i think it is a senseless suggestion! |

MrCrackles: It's optional for the poster though |

Recent versions of SMF have afam's version so perhaps, he is used to it. It's not a rubbish idea. |

I believe seun knows all that. Nairaland is big and would require someone on the smf team to do the upgrade. In other words, i wont advise him to upgrade it by himself. The versions that came after this one are many. Trying to upgrade to the latest versions , Say v1.1.8 or 2.0 which is still in beta can destroy many things. But then i dont see this forum running on this version forever. Some guys in SMF team can upgrade it but they may ask for a little dough |

Just check www.alabiforum.com to see what i'm talking about |

afam4eva: the forum is also running on version 1.1.7 outdated. plus i wonder why the owner allowed bots to register. These spam bots just occupy spaces and nothing good. a lot of mods that prevents spams are available in smf website. or he can go to registration.php and stop them himself |
Re: Nairaland: It's Time To Upgrade by Seun(m): 8:08pm On Mar 26, 2009 |
I made a lot of changes to the version of SMF I started with, and I would need to reapply the changes. That's very labor-intensive, and the benefits are not clear. The database schema is still horribly denormalized, and the new anti-spam tools are not sufficient to prevent the kind of spam we experience on Nairaland. I don't want to upgrade to a newer version of SMF; I want to upgrade to something completely fresh and improved. |

(1) You cannot quote someone's post if the person's post is not in the last page, so i feel every post made should have a quote button.I removed it. (2) I think every post should come with the picture of the poster.I removed it too. (3) I think we should be able to code little it with HTMLThe above features are not compelling reasons to upgrade, since I was the one who removed them |

(1) You cannot quote someone's post if the person's post is not in the last page, so i feel every post made should have a quote button. Reason? NL is the only site that doesnt have a quote button on each post. What's the cause? |
Re: Nairaland: It's Time To Upgrade by Nobody: 10:49pm On Mar 26, 2009 |
i also have a problem with point 1. Its frustrating especially on threads where people make long long posts . . . you may not even be able to quote even if its on the last page. |
Re: Nairaland: It's Time To Upgrade by DeReloaded: 6:21pm On Mar 27, 2009 |
Um can we get the modify button back? |
Re: Nairaland: It's Time To Upgrade by ow11(m): 6:31pm On Mar 27, 2009 |
DeReloaded: SECONDED |
Re: Nairaland: It's Time To Upgrade by Seun(m): 11:38pm On Mar 27, 2009 |
Do you want spam with that? (the button was removed temporarily to combat spam) |
Re: Nairaland: It's Time To Upgrade by DeReloaded: 4:48am On Mar 28, 2009 |
removing modify button doesnt combat spam. How does modifying a post lead to spamming? If a person intends on spamming they will do so with the inital post, not as an afterthought. Removing spam is the job of the mods./admin. Others hsouldnt have to suffer for it |
