Thanks for the replies. I suspect that there was a initial bug fixed because MO2 seems to be working fine now. I guess you can't 'promise' anything on question 2. I was a bit cheeky pushing. I just don't want any future artificial barriers put in place, which is why I asked. I will very shortly be getting Premium, in any case. Currently modding Skyrim VR and mods hosted on the Nexus endlessly extend that game.

Just before the very recent download button changes I was considering a Premium Lifetime membership. I will almost certainly get one as I like several large mods that are frequently updated, so the speed will be convenient. But I would like the Dark0ne or someone in a similar position to just confirm a few points: 1) Does Premium remove all the extra steps that you have recently put in, especially the ‘wait’ button? 2) Will you promise not to break in the future the ability of Mod Organizer to download in favour of pushing people onto Vortex? (I have nothing against Vortex - just preference) The convenience of the linking API is really important to me. The recent changes already seem to be messing up MO2’s downloading. I presume that’s temporary. 3) Does Premium get rid of any site ads in Vortex too? 4) Does the UK price include VAT already - 20% is a lot to be hit with on checkout. What about after January 31st? :smile: Apologies if these are already answered elsewhere. Thanks.

In response to post #55840746. The idea of removing mods just because a mod author has not updated in 6 months *or any other time period* is quite frankly madness. That would remove almost all of the mods on Nexus for every game. and defeat the entire point of the site. Many if not most mods have not been updated in many months or even years, including the biggest and most popular. They do not need it since the game content or executable is not changing. Even if other mods around them change, patches are made by others to deal with that change. Many mods work with a certain selection of other mods, tailored to the individual's taste, which also do not need updating. If you remove the mod from the site the mod is lost forever and then you have lost all those years of work. Then people have to start sites like 'Morrowind Modding History' to find them again. It would not free up any memory, since no memory is used unless they are accessed. Storage is what costs, but that is the whole point of Nexus - to have a repository of mods - not just the most popular at the time. And if you make it hidden you are saving nothing, in fact you are using the server to store something that no-one can see. And the author cannot know if people want an update because it becomes invisible. Also pestering mod authors who take a break for the adult necessities of real life, as most of the popular ones do, is a sure-fire way to stop them modding - they get enough of that in the comments and forums.

Came back here after a while and noticed that some people are still complaining about the site redesign. Honestly, I am impatient to have the new one be the default. The constant refrain 'can we have the choice to keep the old one' betrays an ignorance of just how much work goes into the design and upkeep of a site as big as Nexus. It certainly does not feel like a mobile site but seems at least to consider that's how someone might choose to browse. That's good design and good judgement. I suspect the vast majority of visitors to the Nexus will feel the site is cleaner, clearer, more functional and less make-do-and-mend than the older design. I also suspect that the vast majority will remain silent and just keep on using and loving the site as they always have. Hopefully Dark0ne will not allow the wholly predictable mock outrage and silly drama of a comment section to affect the progress of a long overdue overhaul of both of the site and the mod manager. And thanks to him for such a wonderful and free resource.

Thanks for the new clean design. It's elegant and easy to read and navigate. I hope Vortex follows the same principles. Just a few suggestions: The 'Welcome to Nexus mods' takes up too much room - half the size would be better. It appears you are using screenshots to represent some of the games. The official logo or box art would be instantly and visually navigable. The Tracking Centre [ which feels really nice now ] given its usefulness should have more prominence. Maybe it's own button near the search bar. I know a lot of people dread redesigns of favourite sites but I think your site UI designer and your staff did a great job.
