₦airaland Forum

If she is so popular, than she must have a name.

Hello Omnipotens, thanks for your comments!

You are using inline styles, why not consider an external .CSS file for them

I actually have the CSS in a separate file, but I chose to combine it with each page to reduce latency.
The pages are compressed so they are quite small. I can reduce the CSS size further if necessary.

The font size for the text area is small. I'm on a screen resolution of 1024 X 768, what about users with say higher resolutions? It might be so tiny for them. Consider an increment for accessibility purposes.

Really? Hmmm. What browser are you using?

I think the text area should house a WYSIWYG editor so enhance text formatting or BBcode just like that used for making posts in forums.

Good idea, but I'm not sure that the increased complication is necessary. We'll see, I guess.

One more thing, I think poster should be able to edit their posts in case of typographical errors or change in decision of their posts.

Good idea. Actually, not being able to change their posts should make people more careful. We'll see.

**::: I hope the website admin can edit or delete even modify posts. So can delete some of these test posts Wink

Now I can.

Yes ooooo. The adverts in here are getting much and nutty as people post what you can and cannot imagine in here.

It's a pity that the new website will not prevent people from posting ads here without additional measures.

afam4eva:
Seun, why are all the states not there, no eastern state.

Some states are less popular than others, so I decided not to include them. What's your state?

If the ATM is in a secure and private location, people will use it naturally.

I don't get it. Do You want to have 2 sites?

Are you against it? Some webmasters have dozens of sites, so it's not that strange.

yo

How can a Xtian defend mass murder? I don't get it.

Thanks for your kind suggestions. I'm going to give the site another 24 hours before I start making changes.

Thanks, Omni. Fortunately, this is just the beginning. There's still so much work to be done.

My hope is that with this we would be able to use Nairaland more as a discussion forum and not an advert board.

Note: The first ad posted was an auto ad, but it was posted in the "personals" section. Subsequently, I decided to rework the schema a bit:
- The personals section is now known as "dating".
- The products section has been merged with the Services section and they are both known as "Ads" - i.e. for miscellaneous ads.
- And a separate section has been added again for Autos, since it's such a popular category.

Unfortunately, someone who was composing an ad in the product section was unable to post it because of the change, because the products section no longer exists. I'm very very sorry about that.

Hello,

I'd like you guys and gals to check out my new website: http://www.nairalist.com/

It hasn't yet been tested extensively, so feel free to give it a good smacking.

Suggestions and critiques are welcome.

Seun Osewa.

Alternative explanation: the photographers took the two pics on the same day.  The first photo was taken with her father immediately after the incident, and the second one with her uncles after she had been dressed back up.  The photographers simply mixed the pictures up, happens a lot. Notice that her red sweater in the second pic is present in the first?

Alternative explanation: in the first pic he was not injured,
he was screaming out over the loss of his wife or friend?  
And his friend was holding him the way grieving women are held?

There's nothing like games.py. Get a better text.

If you don't enjoy working alone, then you shouldn't bother with the contracts. Money isn't everything.

The rich man doesn't want okada to exist because it gives the poor man an advantage on the road.

Did you give someone your pin? Did you enter it on a phishing site? Please let us know the details.

davidylan:
maybe seun means where you're from rather than where u necessarily live?

Definitely not.  I'm interested in where you browse Nairaland from.  (Where you live or where you work)

Moved from recycle bin. Moderator: what's up?

Can you tell us where you live in Nigeria by voting in the above poll?  The results will be interesting.

Yar'adua has no right to decide for his daughter. If she enjoys pain, why not?

Any pictures?

Actually, it happens a lot. That's because I use a reverse proxy, otherwise it would just time out.

Secondly it is not in the country's interest at this time that the naira should appreciate.

I think what everybody wants, except forex speculators, is for the exchange rate to remain constant,
so we can ignore it and face our respective businesses. Neither going up or going down.

If this were true, you would have given us his full name so that we can verify it independently.

I think I had some of my terminologies mixed up. What I meant to say is that unlike languages like Java, Python does not force you to program using OOP constructs if you don't feel like using them.

My real problem is with programmers using unnecessary OOP constructs for problems that would be best solved with a procedural or functional approach. I just want you to know that there's life outside OOP!

Why not? I need someone to design a lean and mean template for a classifieds website.

Thanks, but you're not fully getting it. The government does not directly control the exchange rate; the government manipulates it by selling foreign exchange dollars to banks.  The naira tends to appreciate when the CBN sells more dollars, or depreciate when the CBN sells less.  And those dollars come from the sale of Nigeria's oil.  But the price of oil has fallen very steeply over the last few months, so the CBN has less dollars to sell, and the result is a depreciation of the naira. 

It's not as if the CBN decided one day that he wants to naira to depreciate and then magically that came to pass.  Nobody wants the naira to depreciate, not even the CBN, but with the price of oil falling, it couldn't be helped.  The CBN is not "punishing" anybody. Our free lunch merely came to an end.

he government made it to depreciate to prevent capital flight

No, the government had to allow it to depreciate because the price of oil has gone down and the government doesn't have enough dollars to meet the demand for the dollar at former prices.
