InesQor: Dear Moderators,

The "clear unviewed topics" link under "Followed Topics" simply does not work

Can you please help pass this information to Seun? If it worked, it will make things a lot easier, that page gets to get messy real fast over time.

Regards

It clears topics you have not viewed just fine. Topics that were added because you were following the OP or the sections where they were posted.

Mad Cow: Utter Rubbish: There is no possible fail safe way of avoiding an accident.. Not even if you decide to stop driving and walk on foot..

The title should read: 3 Ways to reduce the risk of a car accident..

The word "avoid" doesn't imply 100% fail-safety.

Threads make it easier to maintain and access shared data efficiently. Processes provide better isolation. Use what works best for each problem.

THis thread should not be locked. However, please see www.nairaland.com/1105186/presidential-media-chat-7pm-sunday

ITbomb: That Samsung hero advert link is not working.
It takes me to a blank page on facebook and ' page not found , go back home '
Don't know where to post this

Which browser are you using and on what device? Also, what's your ISP? Thanks (It works on my system, all browsers)

Piyke: Just want to ask why there is no dislike button on nairaland? Every now and then terrible comments come up and yet forum members have no way of venting their displeasure.

In fact someone on this forum has suggested using an auto-hide feature with the dislike button (a certain number of dislikes would automatically hide the post). If the number of dislikes that would activate the auto hide is the issue, then you may rather consider an auto-notify feature where a number of dislikes notifies the moderator of such a post.

You see, this will work smartly for nairaland, because bad posts will always be disliked and with this, moderators will not have to comb through every thread to fish out hateful posts.

Why is there no dislike button on NL

There is a report to moderator button. Learn to use it!

@redcliff: I'm trying to give you an ad design job and you're not taking it.

@redcliff: yes

lightheart: I'd like to advertise my other pet project. Please can I? in place of Lightheart Designs. We do venue-styling too. Thank you sir for your generosity. God bless

You can advertise anything you feel like advertising. Send me your ad when you're ready and I'll put it on our new ad queue.

Yorne, Lightheart, and Redcliff should send me private mails when they are ready to redeem my free advertising offer.

yorme: mr. seun you havent responded. is there no consolation price for we runner ups?

How about one week of free advertising on plan C such that you can advertise anything?

Sorry about that! We have no choice on the matter!

WilliamCee: @Seun i cannot believe this, i don't complain, but i had to do say this, my ads deserve way-better than just being placed on the "other contestants category" considering your approach on your reviews, but anyway you made your choice, but i think my ads is worth taking a second look at.

We've created a "notable entry" section to promote designers like you whose entries were quite good but didn't make the top 4. I hope you like it!

AreaDaddy: All @lightup's ads have a "call to action" only one of @Yusuf16's ads have that. That would have swung it for me in Lightup's favour. Having said that they are both very good, clean and creative

yusufu16's ads have calls to action too: "click here to listen free", "catch the action live", "join the NDA", "learn programming", "catch excitement". Considering the size of the ads, I think yusufui6's approach of weaving the call to action element into the body of the ad is as good as, and sometimes better than, the regular practice of making the call to action a separate element with a generic phrase like "click now".

erad: are Are u freaking kidding me?? Thats just awesome. Look at my earlier designs and u would have easily noticed that it was just a mistake. Anyhow sha, Shit happens. so all ma efforts were wasted cos of -2 pixels thats just unfair mahn.

Sorry bro, the size is very important, which is why we included it in the rules. The knowledge you have gained about how to design small banner ads isn't wasted, because: (1) There will be new contests from time to time. (2) You may need to advertise your services on Nairaland or other websites very soon, or to promote a customer's website on Nairaland; Your design skills will save you a lot of time and money if maintained.

erad: [OGA SEUN, ARE MY OWN DESIGNS NOT VALID OR WHAT??

Your ads were not 154 by 95 pixels. They were 152 by 95 pixels. I discovered this after setting up the gallery, so I had to disqualify you. We're very sorry about that.

@yusufu: Which prize will you go for? Free ad space worth 60,000 naira (Plan A, B, or C) or 60,500 naira in cash? (hint: Please say cash!)

Thread unlocked. Please feel free to ask me any relevant questions and comment on the ad designs!

Rhemmymatician: For some reason I don't know of my entry is being ignored. Ese wo ni mo se yin broda seun.

- I didn't have any time to provide detailed reviews in the final 24 hours, so I couldn't help you much.
- We couldn't select your ads for the gallery because your ads are too big, the text was not legible, and the borders are not accurate. Generally, you'll have to develop your skills over a considerable period of time in order to be able to produce acceptable ads. Good luck!

We thank every graphic designer who participated in this contest, for working really hard and allowing us to enjoy their talents.

We'd like to encourage advertisers to look through the above gallery and hire the designers whose work they like best to design ads for them.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

@doncheks: distinct single-pixel border. You have 85 more minutes!

@dd0904: Distinct single-pixel border...

@lightheart: Your Gulder Ultimate Search Ad is currently unacceptable.

mrrock: 3. Seun Osewa began Nairaland with N30,000 ONLY. It wasn't his money, he borrowed it from her sister. I don't know about now but I believe his revenue while with google ads would be about $250 per day.

This is a bad lie. When I started Nairaland, my sister was a student. She certainly had no money to lend to anyone. This is a complete fabrication.
