i have never participated in this forum but the new UI changes are terrible. I feel obligated to complain. There is a saying "if it ain't broke, dont fix it"... it has a lot of truth to it.
The color coding for different games was really good and useful, the filters, and mod browsing in general were really good. It is not usual for anyone to swap from one game page to a different game page frequently. I'f im modding skyrim, it even takes hours for me to finish what im doing, when i finally need to swap to a different game, I will easily just go to the main page and browse a different game. There is no need to have a universal search engine that clutters the UI and now has a potential to show me unwanted mods in my search bar.
The visual design is bland and feels uninspired. I have read somewhere that this is for mobile browsing? The most popular games on this website are bethesda games, cyberpunk and baldurs gate, games that are not available in any mobile platform so I dont see the point.
There is more clicking involved now to perform the same tasks. There is a lot of empty space everywhere. The background image was removed (why?), again, feels bland and uninspired. The old UI only needed the comment search fixed and did not really had any major flaws.
Judging by the other posts here, I am not alone in my thinking, I hope these changes get reverted.
Peace.
