CJ (ID: 0000007f4939d88c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/10/2018 There are so many threads on Nairaland asking for a UI revamp that were dismissed by the admins, but someone actually took matters in their own hands and did the thing. Obviously a WIP but it's really well done and I Can't wait to see the finished product.
