Seconded. Seun please let any changes or "redesign" be minimal. The site is great just the way it is

Sites are moving to web3, NL is still in Fortran 77

Sorry I was actually testing brute force attack on this site. I wouldn't do it again eyeh......

Tufiakwa. I'll reject this if I was owner. This can't be the best of nairaland, please.

Well noted Seun.

nairaland should have upvotes like quora, where better comments are read first. Nairalanders would post rubbish just to be on first page.

lapazi:
Implement 2FA Seun!

On which site?

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

We have observed an ongoing password guessing attack against Nairaland members. The perpetrators have obtained a list of thousands of usernames and passwords from hacked websites & are systematically trying those passwords on Nairaland to take over your accounts.

If you have used your Nairaland username and password on other websites, they may be able to log in to Nairaland as you, mutilate your profile and send spam messages with your name. To prevent this, please change your Nairaland password to a unique password asap.

For the dozens of Nairalanders whose accounts have been affected, you would have gotten an unexpected login notification from Nairaland. All you need to do to secure your account is to logout, reset your password with this form, and correct your mutilated profile.

For those who are affected, we may scramble your password and log you out to force you to change it. Don't be alarmed. Just logout and reset your password with this form to regain access to Nairaland.

We have taken measures to slow the perpetrators down severely, but it's up to you to make sure that your password is secure.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

How about implementing 2fa?

Replace the share button to DISLIKE as that is what it’s meant to be since the share button is not actually sharing the post to anywhere.

I’m serious on this

Like to support

Seun:
It was a temporary measure to stop profiles from being mutilated. We will undo it shortly.

Oh I see.

I have been trying to update it since 1st January to no avail. Thought it was only me.


Thanks for the info

First Seun has to SELL IT
Then the new owners preserve the database while redesigning a new dynamic platform. So much potential NL is wasting remaining this way.
One of the top sites in Nigeria should move with the time, and not acting like it's 4chan.

Donjazet2:
Seun what do you do about the pro-tinubu bots who open numerous accounts for the sake of generating fake likes on pro tinubu candidates in a guise to manipulate public opinion?

What do you do about the rampant hateful tribal venom being spewed by pro-apc accounts. The ones that tag all opponents chinedu or Emeka and outrightly single out Igbo tribe? How do you tackle this seun?

I've asked people to report them to no avail. I havent received a single report until this one.

Seun:

Please I want to edit the signature on my profile and it has not been possible. Kindly resolve.

OK Sir.

Thank you seun my name sake

They did it to me two years ago, then I was fighting for survival.

Seun Looks like the HACKER because NAIRALAND have not told us of this development.

Let's hear your suggestions genius

Thought he'll mention mods to help him push to fp

Protect for what reason

Olamilekxy:


Redesign of what ?

Nairaland is a blog site not social media.

Bruuhh how na, it's a forum. Not a blog nor a social media platform.

silvoclaira:


Seun, Nairaland needs a Redesign/Rebrand

It will go a long way in giving your platform the attention and credits it deserves in todays SocialMedia world.

Redesign/Rebranding is necessary over these years to ensure you’re capturing the new products, services, members attention.

Nairand's UX is good but the UI has to change. It'd fair better being redesigned to mobile-facing web app.
Dropdown menu, trending feature and related ones.
Integrating Bootstrap should be a start to keeping it lightweight and JAMstack to integrate some APis.
Seun knows this certainly but he downplays what UI does to internet users.

Oil dey ya head!
