Wedge should look fine on Opera Mobile, though!
Yeah, it looks fine in Opera Mobile. Opera mini is just rubbish, the mybb script I am using have a trimmed template for all mobile devices called mybbgomobile. It is the best forum mobile template I have seen sofar in any forum software.

Wedge is not as elegant as it is at Opera Mini browser and to make is worse, Google Analytics predicts that most of my forum visitors are using opera mini - 63%!
I hate opera mini.

Wedge! I like your robotic moderation, please I want to know if all post will be scanned or post from specific group.
I will also suggest you add message to the user's screen when his post is held on moderation like

Apologies, your post is held on moderation due to suspected activities.You may lose your account... and money :D

Please don't mind my last two words

People don't like change.
No they sure don't. I posted a topic about me possibly changing forum software in our Back Office and this is an exact quote from a member -

"I hate change (try going through it 8+ times at one website for 12 years, it's also about to get another upgrade) but that actually looks nice, in a way."

Going back to the OP -

This is very annoying or better put frustrating. Having a competitor who have been there for about 10 years. Membership running to over 1 million, post running to over 12 million. You are new, very few inactive members. Most posts are made by you. In such case, how do you survive? Suggestions are needed.
Thanks.
There's already a heavy hitter Nigerian forum. There's also another one (NBF) that you say is failing woefully. Is there really room for yet another Nigerian forum, given the existing players in the field? :wow:
I am not creating Nigerian forum, i am creating forum, a world wide sort of but I cam starting with Nigerians because, I know I can still get huge load of Nigerian traffic, with Nigerians, I will target Indians and then go world wide ( stupid dream isn't it?). I am trying creating a role playing forum like Giaonline but will versatile discussion base. My forum's name does not reflect Nigeria but many post do because I am targeting Nigerian traffic for now.
Thanks.

Yeah, I understand your points ut you should know that two years ago, Nairaland admin was seeing the Nigeriabestforum  guy as a very strong competitor, the later messed it up by creating multiple sub-domains on his forum, redirecting users there and thereby confusing the visitors and himself as well.Creating uncountable ads with turns people off.

@Arantor

The question I wanted to ask you was based on your comment here, I quote

Wedge has some of what is described here, the ability to moderate or prevent posts even being made if they contain certain words. But you can't issue warnings or bans because of it for precisely the 'stepping on a land mine' issue mentioned.
Please can you shed more light on it. I recently studied Nairaland Anti Spam bot and was highly impressed, looks like it took him many months to write, I think they where 3 who designed the robot, a break down on what he it does
It scan all the post in the forum - both new topics and new replys
It ban any user whose keyword is in his blacklisted database ( the admin will add the blacklisted keyword)
It will hide the post, pending review by the thread moderator
It will post on the banned users profile - You are banned from posting in this forum, ban expires @ date
The both can post rely if post triggers a favored topic and some of its replys are human like
** He (the admin) can login with the bots ID**
**Admin can ban, deletes bot's account and create a new one**

he calls it by the name - Pyguru here is it's profile
Code: [Select]
http://www.nairaland.com/pyguru
In case you want to see the robots full details, use this login I just created
username - spyao
password - nairaland

Thanks

@xrunner

Thanks for your advice, Nigerian flag colour is green white green. This guy (nigeriabestforum.com) did what you suggested but he is failing woefully after years of trial.

@Arantor

I  will ask questions on the functionality when am free to booth my pc.
Thanks.

I do see a lot of posts that have been hidden
Yes, he actually wrote an anti spam bot that bans members who posts some certain keywords, the spam bot will ban and also hide the post. The moderator will now see the post for final decisions, a semi automatic moderation a sort of.

Compete? Yes, anyone that will give your clients an option is your competitor.
Talking of competition, this guy - nigerianbestforum.com actually gave him a run for his money until he killed his forum with multiple  ads.

Sure, he was using SMF but he recently hired programmers who designed a pyton custom script him, his link

^^ Remove it? That's understatement, he will ban me instantly. I will try to start a topic of that but I have seen many of them before. Just thinking I don't have to draw my traffic from his forum.

I have account in the other forum but not active, just a few posts there, making friends or drawing followers are quite hard as the admin discouraged it from day 1, he calls it –avoiding revolution. Pm is disabled and other communication line between users cut.
