I searched and could not find that, so I created it. Here, upvote please. https://feedback.nexusmods.com/posts/1846/please-dont-make-the-collapsed-view-for-collection-comments-the-default-for-mod-comments

You may not get a response until Monday. Very few staff members are active on the weekends. You might also try the site-feedback section of the Discord.

Yeah, I fear all you can do right now is wait and see if they see this and do anything, or take care of it automatically. If they don't by Monday afternoon, post about it here again, and someone should be able to pass the request on to the Discord for you. I am not sure there is much point doing that on the weekend.

It definitely doesn't hurt to poke them about it here, just in case they were not aware that the games further down the list are not all linked up yet. If they don't make one, and you did, I don't know if they will have a way to link to the game listing, or not. If it does not happen in a day or two (by the end of the weekend, as they don't do much over the weekend), you can go to the Discord and query someone in the site feedback channel about it. Keep in mind, they are on UK time.

They may not be done linking everything yet. I know they were still migrating some data (forums), and sorting it into the right categories. I suppose it makes sense they would migrate and link up the big 10 first, then work on the rest. Hopefully the linking will still happen for the smaller games as well. Edit: It definitely doesn't hurt to poke them about it here though, just in case they were not aware that the games further down the list are not all linked up yet.

I thought that there weren't any links between the mod-side of Nexus and the Forums-side any longer, even for the big games, though I may be wrong. I hope they do have some way of linking a mod section for a game to a discussion of the game.

In the new list of games whose forums will be under the Club forum format and are migrating, Skyrim is only listed once... Skyrim, and Skyrim Special Edition are separate on the mods side. I am not sure how separate they were before on the forums side, but the comments under a given mod that existed for both versions, but with changes, were definitely separate before. Are the two 'games' going to be separate sub-categories under the Club, or will there actually be separate clubs for them?

Yeah, it is... really messy to navigate. I am not even trying. Hopefully they get it sorted out, eventually. If you are wanting to see and participate in discussions about/under a specific mod, why not go to the comments (Posts tab) under that specific mod? No need to mess with the forums at all really. Yeah, there is no search feature (yet), but I find it a friendlier setup, personally. (Which is why my over 6k posts, before the count went away, were mostly all on the mods side.) I am an old-timer as well. Seems like change hits harder the more years you have been around. (*Looks at her desktop, configured to look and act like the Win 98 desktop.*)

Thanks!

They have said that the search feature will be coming to the mod comments pages in early 2024. You may not like the format that comes with it though. If you go to a collections page (the page of any specific collection), look at the comments section under the collection... That is the system that the mod comments will be converting to. It does include a search feature, but from what I can see (I may be wrong) it has a more limited editor than even the current one for comments. Perhaps they will adjust the parameters on it before implementation, I have no idea. Currently, it seems to default to all threads collapsed, which will be annoying to me, if there is no option to change it, but I am sure some people will like it better.

Yeah, those other social media places fostered a sense of competition around the 'friends' mechanic that cheapened it to just a number. But here, it was people that you genuinely wanted to stay in touch with, or remember and revisit. The number of them was never important. You know that trend to post 'F' to pay respects? I guess we need to post F for Friends here. F

Okay, after some investigation... The mod-side profile URL is: https://nexusmods.com/users/ID_GOES_HERE/ The forums side profile URL (from which you can send messages) is: https://forums.nexusmods.com/profile/ID-username/ Using the users ID number, it isn't that hard to get from the forums side profile to the mods side profile, but it is harder to get from the mods-side profile back to the forums-side profile in order to message someone, as you need their exact user name as well. Get the ID number from the mods-side profile URL, then put it in this link, and it should redirect you to the correct forums-side profile URL: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?showuser=ID_GOES_HERE I hope that helps. (Again, may not work for anyone signing up, or using the forums for the first time ever, since the separation.) Thanks to Wayback Machine for help finding that URL to go back the other direction.

The message option appears to still be there on the Forums-side profile, just not on the mods-side profile. Which is a problem, as there are no longer links between the profiles on the profiles. If you can figure out how to get to a user's forums profile, you should be able to send a message from there. I believe you can use the numeric user number in the browser URL for their profile on the mods side to get to the same user's profile on the forums side (compare URL to someone else's forums-side profile), and then be able to message them. But that is REDICULOUS. Also, it may not work for anyone who created their account(s) after the update.

I hope adding a spoilers section might be considered. Yeah, I know, it is old enough that is not the first thought that comes up, but there are always people playing these for the first time, and wanting to set up mods, etc, without having major plot points spoiled. Fair enough though, I will avoid the forums for anything I haven't played yet. It isn't like I have time to play much right now anyway (or delve into the new forums, for that matter). Hey, perhaps you would know... The mod comments that were originally mirrored on the forums side... Are those archives coming back anywhere on the forums side? You see, there were links to certain very complex posts needed for fixing a particularly sticky mod problem. The posts were very long, and the context of the posts around them was sort of important as well, which is why the directions to solve the problem were a link to that post... Obviously you can't link to a post on the mod side, at least as far as I know, so the post was linked to on the forum side. And all that has gone away. I am sure the original post and thread still exist on the mod comments side, but there is no way to search for it currently. Even if I find it, I would be stuck with copying large tracts of complex instructions, including several posts up and down the thread from it, and finding some place to post them, but that would still be better than no one being able to find the instructions at all. That is just one example, as to why I would like to know if the archives of mod comments (up until the separation, I would assume) on the forum side that you can link to will be coming back. Or the ability to link to comments on the mod side, that would work as well. I know the search on the mod side is planned, just not here for a while yet.

Huh. That is only very slightly better than what I was reading it as. It could be worse I suppose, they could have dumped all the games in together. But that means anyone not wanting spoilers has to avoid the entire "club", and can't get troubleshooting help, etc. Also, very hard to find anything. Are you sure they aren't just not done building it yet, and the sub-categories are yet to come? Edit: Ah, there, see? Under construction. The sign must have fallen.
