Dear Nairalanders,

We are ramping things up. Here are some things we have done recently:

1. We gave Nairaland's theme a little facelift, fixing buttons, pagination, separators, and other little things.

2. We implemented a dark mode for Nairaland with the most intuitive UX: a sun toggle on your upper right.

3. We further relaxed the minimum character rule because many people were still struggling with it.

We are also trying to make our moderation bot (aka antispam bot) more accurate. Bear with us on that.

What else do you want us to work on?

Best Regards.

I’ve stuck with the dark mode for almost a week now !!! Make dark mode the default.

Seun, just remove the character rules. It's annoying!

Create a feature for voice note. Response to Some monikers here deserves to be said on voice note!

We don't want to hear your voice. Voice note not necessary.

Just make sure the "Anti Spam Bot" is not selective. Moderators also have to be fair and not selective in removing some comments.

No stalking or marking of Monikers.

3. Add share button to other platforms and app
4. Enable direct video add to messages without using third party like YouTube etc .
5. Have a section for media play where one can continuously listen to music without moving out of the site .

Seun...please take note

Go on any page or thread you see him and peruse the profile pages of those who voice their support for his opinions . . .

100% of them are his alternate accounts cool

Welldone Sir, Can you work on the "Trending" section.

The topics/threads are neither the most engaged nor the most interacted, they're just some random topics congested together, I thought Trending/Popular topics on especially an Internet Forum are programmed to be topics with most comments(within some time range) or at worst topics with the most views or share(with some time range too).

In as much people prioritize Lastest/New Topics, some still give active topics or topics with ongoing discussions shots.

defining the topics section of the forum will help users choose what to follow and make the community more engaging.

Latest Topics,
Hot/Trending
For you/Random

All these should be well define.
The things are not even that hard to reprogram, reposition and restructure, and it doesn't take much time either.

I have a lot to say, but this is it for now, Good Morning.

@seun Monetise any content that hits front page. The OP of such content gets some kind of reward. This would enhance the quality of contents on your front page and also increase engagement on your site.

Person wey dey ban if you make any kind of advert on your own post, you expect to pay you for hitting FrontPage? What's the difference?

Remove the special protection you give islamic topics and make it open for all to post or you give same protection to Christian topics

Unfair and biased treatment of some people for reasons known to you alone

That didn't stop you guys from invading and derailing practically all Islamic threads. May be you were not on Nairaland to understand what led to that. Let's remind you that the site owner is not a Muslim but he understands that your brothers are troublemakers

Do not implement a dislike button. People will simply use it to bully people that they don't like.

Are you talking about yourself!?

Dislike button is as important as a Like button.

Pls Seun kindly tell your bots either they are human or robot to block any malicious app some OP and members are using to unilaterally blocking comment of any comrade not supporting their Emperor and these same OP allows people on their good book to insult hell out of the president but never want anybody to challenge them, its wrong and very unfair and unacceptable.

If they don't want anyone to attack their Emperor they too should not attack our president. Full stop.

Thanks

An upvote and downvote button for comments will make a lot of sense as it will help bring the most relevant responses and comments to the top for easy access and wider reach.

That dark mode gave me issues yesterday, abeg for any update as such, send a notification ahead of time.
I checked through my phone settings all day, checking browser settings too, if my kids played with the phone, I would have assumed they pressed something, it was late in the night that I saw the sun sign at the upper right.

My Question is, when will Nairalanders start getting benefits from this platform from engagements like other platforms like Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp, etc. I have been registered to this platform since 2015. Yet I can't boast of making 1naira just as the name implies. Please Seun we need an innovation that could be generating lil stipends for active users. Thanks

It will never happen.

Person still never fit build platform to standard, you say make he kon pay you money.

What is the paid advertisement rate here, and how many people are active irrespective of the numbers of accounts.

Can be forgotten by the blocker to unblock after sometime.

And if one sustains anger level over 3weeks to one month cuz of a comment or few comments in a faceless or virtual forum , then one should check themselves in real life.

Though I support blocking scammers permanently.

There are people who are a temporary nuiscance and there are those who are permanent nuiscance. For me to add you to a list it means you’ve established yourself as a permanent nuisance. These are the people that I don’t want to interact with ever or see their posts.

Either way the power to unblock should rest with the person who blocked.

When are u working on dislike button?

We need more functions instead of morphological beauty features.

We need dislike buttons and we need gallery part on our profile where we can save important memories without having to create a thread for it so we can even select it when changing dp

Bro 😊 😁 😁
Are you joking or what, not even gif or at most dating very short clips but a whole video, even music.
If you're not dedicated and ready run a media library platform or you're not as big as Facebook or Instagram don't even try that shxt, Nairaland is one more man operated, and you want him to run that with no some kind of side supports or investors.
Nairaland server's will be in trouble with no proper funding to keep it running.

REDshouse:
1. Change the theme
2. Allow direct chat messages between verified users
3. Add share button to other platforms and app
4. Enable direct video add to messages without using third party like YouTube etc .
5. Have a section for media play where one can continuously listen to music without moving out of the site .
