How do I get the old Nexusmods layout back?

[Skagens]

Where is advanced search?

 

I assume this is what you speak of?

I really dislike the new layout, everything just looks wrong. The main page is alright, I guess, but the individual mod pages are atrocious. It actually feels like a chore to use. I don't see what is wrong with just tidying-up what was there before. Give it a new coat of paint, rather than re-arrange it all in this way.

So will old.nexusmods eventually get removed permanently then? That will be a sad day, to be honest.

It will disappear yes

I don’t use Nexus regularly unlike other individuals, but it’s still a kind of sad sight for the layout to go. I’ve used Nexus for a while and I’ve grown kind of attached to it, and I don’t really have a problem with the new layout...but I still am going to miss it a little bit.

You'll get used to it. It is better now by a lot. Bit jarring though of a change but it is for the better

Better for whom? Mobile phone users? For them certainly but for regular PC users thats debateable. I'd say we're being retrofitted for something that isn't optimized for us. C'est la vie.

 

 

works great for PC, have no issues with it thus far aside from a few minor issues that are primarily aesthetics related and really just nitpicks.

 

Which is to miss the point entirely.

The old site layout is gone and now... now I can see myself using Steam Workshop instead. Am I just grousing? Nah, I have a good reason.

 

A c c e s s i b i l i t y.

 

The old site had it in spades, the new site is hatefully lacking.

 

Anything done with a few mouse movements/clicks on the old site take many more on the new, the menus feel janky and unresponsive (especially if you have the shakes, which just makes the new site feel cranky, cruel, and impatient by comparison), the mouse needs further movement to achieve the same tasks, and here's the big one...

 

Zoomed in, the site COMPLETELY breaks!

 

Pick a mod page, zoom in about ten times. For those admins with access to both sites, compare the results.

 

You've just lost every paid/paying disabled user with this. Steam Workshop actually has better accessibility now. And that's so ridiculous it makes me sad.

 

So... Can we mod the Nexus to make it accessible again?

 

Seriously, the old Nexus site was a bastion of accessibility, something to be proud of, showing the rest of the Internet how it's done! It was a joy to use for people with poor sight and motor control problems. The new site makes me feel hated.

 

I doubt my concerns will matter though as the zeitgeist of Internet design these days seems to be 'sod these disabled troglodytes.'

 

Sad.

 

Will miss the Nexus.

Im disabled and have no issues. Can navigate the site fine without my glasses on as well.

IMO it's ridiculous to make final judgments about any new layout. It's new. Offer constructive ideas and give it a year or two etc. The old site didn't magically appear fully formed either. No site design does.
