The editor for posting on the forums has been tweaked to provide better contrast.
Thank you! Hope Nexus is able to consider doing the same for other editor locations, such as the mod description pages.

So how did you solve it exactly? I just encountered the exact same problem.
UPDATE: In case anyone else runs across this issue, apparently you do need to perform a windows update to ensure pc windows is fully updated. Now, I have no idea why this matters to the operation of the CK but it did seem to resolve the issue.

Not necessary. There would be no modding without us helping each other.

Test the meshes in another cell that you create.
-
Home and Pro, which is what I imagine most people had, only have 24-mo support after release.
Anyway, my point was to give OP heads-up that primary components will soon be going next-gen and that might interest him as he plans for a new build.
-
Thing is, if you are going to use Windows, and building a new pc with the clock ticking on support for the current iteration, then it makes sense to get the latest version on a new pc where you'll get 10 yrs of support and/or updates. As it stands now, MS is no longer providing support for 11. Yes, you can "upgrade" if you are ok with that.
Also, there is an advantage to having Intel's latest cpu when building an expensive gaming pc if you are the kind of user that keeps your pc for their full lifespan (particularly if money isn't the main concern).
-
Have you tried deleted these meshes and then adding "fresh" untouched meshws back in. This time don't optimize to see what happens. Blary's meshes are quite old so you may have trouble with that, but it may be worth trying out and then taking it from there. Do you have nifscope up and running?
Also, what do these look like in the CK?
-
Where did you get those meshes? They may not be optimized for SE.
SSE NIF Optimizer at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

In case it is something you wish to consider, Intel is supposed to launch their next-gen cpu end of yr as is Nvidia releasing their next-gen gpu. Windows 12 is likewise launching this yr. I'm also in need of new pc, but will likely be waiting for next gen hardware--especially since I tend to keep pcs for a long time.

@HollownessDevoured Perhaps those special Eclipse glasses will work for us?

Thanks for pointing this out! Because this is another option for NexusMods accessibility as well. if they can't change front end selections that is, which would be preferable for user experience. W3.org and other accessibile sites have support to change text size, font, and colors that appear on your screen via the browser settings (for those that support it. Firefox does great especially paired with the Firefox Color extension). If you can't read their page as it is, you can go into your browser settings and fix that. The site will respond to your preferences.
ETA you can do this with Nexusmods beta currently, but on my settings, many elements disappear because they are so tightly themed. this site is very complicated and blunt tools like this won't be as effective without built in support. For this reason, I appreciate that the design team is taking time to gather feedback. Hopefully we can get it at least workable for most, if not all of us.
Yes, I attempted to use the EDGE extension. Recoloring the website would indeed be fairly complicated as I learned (but may make a go of it again once everything is done here). Nexus has already said that there won't be a change to their current theme direction and they've remained mute on whether there will be any Nexus options for something different. It was suggested that we use a browser extension to implement our own custom choices.

I absolute love
that every website detailing the best accessibility guidelines in fact use black fonts on white background on THEIR website!

Also I'd like to point out how inconvenient the new 'x days ago' counter for update date feels. Seen this on other sites, it's never useful.
If the actual date is of interest, you can place you curser on it and the date will be revealed.

I think it is much simpler than that. It's damaged eyesight. Those of us who sacrificed our retinas on the altar of cathode ray monitors of 1980s and 1990s feel the strain of high contrast. Younger people who grew up with LCD, TFT or other flat screen technologies do not have this issue.
Unless you sit in brightly lit rooms while viewing dark websites (I don't and probably most don't) the human eye dilates quite a bit looking at dark-mode (black backgrounds). What happens when your eyes dilate? It is harder to see fonts. People with common eye disorders, such as myopia, additionally experience a bleeding effect with the light fonts against the black background which make it difficult to read. These things should also fall under the concept of ACESSIBILITY but are not really considered much since those with these conditions are not impaired to the extent of those who are legally blind with major eyesight impairment. Even so, those with other types of visual challenges have legitimate concerns about this and if there is a way to offer choices in the color schemes for reading this website, I hope that Nexus will do it.

The color on that page, and entire UI is a simple white. And cant find a black color swap.
I know. I find that completely odd too. The truth is websites use black fonts on white for a reason. It is the easiest to read for most people. It is not readable, however, for those with significant eyesight impairment.

Since Nexus needed to do a website redesign, the change in colors may have more to do with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and UK accessibility guidelines then just arbitrariness on the part of the website designers.

@HollownessDevoured Maybe so. I was working on it yesterday when I suddenly started getting some kind very weird problem that prevents me from accessing threads. I click on a thread and get taken to a single random post in that thread. In other words, can't view the whole topic. The post is also with white background devoid of any website formatting. I'll probably have to uninstall EDGE and reinstall it to see about correcting this. Turning Stylebot off didn't correct the problem. When I switched to Firefox, no problem. So I know the problem is with my EDGE.
Of course the best solution is to give options to those with Accessibility needs and those who need something other than the blackhole-look. I'm hoping we get an answer on Nexus' capability to do that as I asked about it yesterday.

Thanks for adding the button link! It may be easier to just have one button though, since all the buttons lead back to the same exact place "About Me".
@Pickysaurus Is it out of the question (now or in the future) for Nexus to offer options on the color scheme? Dark and Lighter?
I''m looking for an extension for EDGE if anyone knows of one let me know.
EDIT: Found a color/font theme changer, StyleBot. It works with EDGE, CHROME, FIREFOX. Will be a chore to make customization though.

If the ABOUT ME section is going to open up for user editing, then personal gender can be added there (if the user chooses).

I think it is esthetically professional to pick an easy on the eyes color and stick with it throughout Nexus. We now have the medium gray (including on the forum profiles), we should have the same cohesive look for the Mods pages. Making the two site areas look different just has the look of 2 disconnected webpages.

The color of the current Mods website is a medium-ish grey and is pretty easy on the eyes. Especially when putting together a very detailed time-consuming mod page. I'd probably go cross-eyed using the black pages used on the beta profile. Thankfully, I just finished up the page for a mod I plan to soon release before any blackhole changes.
Is blackhole black easier for use on phones? Personally, don't spend much time on my phone looking at nexus but I'm sure it gets a great deal of traffic otherwise there wouldn't be an emphasis on making the site phone-friendly. Keeping that in mind, there should be a good balance that can accommodate modders using pc to create the work, and users that do a lot of browsing and downloading.
I think the larger spaces for the profiles probably accommodates phone usage which, for me, is ok. But, I don't spend a lot of time on profiles except to look at other modders' work (not my own work). I think if there are a lot of phone users browsing profiles, then that needs to be considered. I can say, with what little time I've spend using my phone on Nexus, the tiles and views of the webpages are pretty difficult to deal with--hard to read.

Lastly and this might sound silly, but it might be helpful to the devs/staff if "Verified Mod Authors" have a tag in the forums (like under their member status tag), because you may want to pay a bit more attention to their feedback during and site feedback concerns. They just utilize more site features and are more in the editing/adding content UI/tools, than those just downloading/viewing the site.
Was thinking exactly the same thing. I also think mod users may also find it useful knowing that while conversing in forums. It is a bit of an advertisement for mod authors.
As for generally displaying unpublished mods, that might be useful for some modders (and users following mod author works) as long as it was optional to use for modders. I wouldn't mind showing that for upcoming mod publications (as long as it is optional).

Has anyone noticed that the non-forum site fonts have gotten considerably smaller very recently, or is this just me? I do have a 27" monitor...
-
Took a few days break from this beta, came into today to check profile and looks so much better. Much improved use of space!
-
User location under profile is redundant. For instance, mine spells out United States, and next to that there is US.
After reading through this topic, I'd suggest making a better balance between the desire to improve the site for phone usage and for the overwhelming greater use of Nexus for PC desktop users. A compromise could be placing the username and related info horizontally at the top as before and using that space, at least, for one more Mod in the rows. There really is way too much empty wasted space in the suggested design. Even putting essentially blank colorful banners (at the top) is wasted IMO. Put the profile pic, etc. there. Phone users need tidiness too--even more so than desktop users really. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling looking at ads and empty space will quickly make me close out a page on my smartphone. This page is mostly used so members can see user and mod info. Particularly mods. since that is why most of us are here.

Well, at least my eyes on the forums is no longer on "life support".
