The old design looks better, and the colours are friendlier to the eyes than the new one. Thats one of the reason many people hit nairaland everyday. Am not saying the old page cant be im proved on though.

Is far better and easy accessible.

I like it. It's about time Nairaland was rebranded

Seun my own opinion is this: though I prefer the current homepage for the following reasons:

1. User friendly(which is an important factor)

2. Am used to it

So what am trying to say in essence is that we should give the new homepage a trail, that's should be the determining factor of whether it's going to be accepted or not.

the new design is too busy, and looks really horrible

Just because we're Nigerians it doesn't mean we must force the Green-White-Green theme into everything!
This prototype design is too, GARISH!!!


As many have said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Simple, clean and functional looks are the vogue these days. Take a look at Google.com and even the Google Chrome browser.

Thank you Seun, more work should be done on the Color and sharpness.

1. I know the designer is trying to get the real naija flag colour but I think its too sharp for the eye.
2. The buttons are too big and loud, something soft like the present ones we have here will do the trick.
3. I really do not know about the om button, it has it advantages and disadvantages one of course being that people will pay less attention to the threads.
4. I think we are long overdue to have little avatars or gif images on our profiles, I know it would increase page load time but a little management here and there could seal the ice.
In all change is good I am loving the new face book home page, why not throw a competition open, be generous as well I am sure a little token for the voted winner would make it worth anyone's while. Just something to bring the whole family together from time to time. Change is good.
Cheers.

Seun,
I think we don't need a ''new look''(so to say), what we need is some upgrade on the one we presently we have.
Upgrade like private messaging et al.

this is way better than the old one, i prefer it and the green represents nigeria better!

This one is too busy The present homepage is the best; It makes NL unique from other site's.
Once NL homepage is seen on the screen of any computer, we always know without anyone telling. Let the present one continue.

the current one is far better,

Nah!!!The current one is still better.

I prefer the current,
New one is too busy and besides NL is already Nigerian, you can't make it more with green everywhere.

pls pls pls let the old one stay.

I think its nice to have a new thing afterall change is always constant, however the green colour seem to be the bane. it's too loud and annoys the eye

i do not know if you have the necessary hardware etal, but i'd recommend running the two versions in parallel if that is possible - or simply rolling it out for a week or two - i'm assuming theres more to this than just a facelift

people will always hate change and not always with good reason .

Let the current home page remain.

i like the new one.
it will take a while to adapt to change but i prefer it to the present one.
the present page is a bit too bland for my liking.

I prefer this new one,,,its more radiant,,,i mean d green colour shws vry well,its 9ice

Its a breath of fresh air, BUT I think its actually abit cluttered. Just needs a little more tweaking.
Nice one!!
