As of yesterday I can't get the old Skyrim Nexus working. It keeps defaulting to the new one. At least I can get the old Darkest Dungeon section working so I can continue to upload my mods but the Skyrim section is now such a dysfunctional eyesore that I don't know if I can bring myself to visit it very often any more. Not everyone wants the internet to look like it was designed for a tiny mobile phone screen.

I don't think we're allowed to switch back any more. We seem to be stuck with this ugly horrible mobile phone monster which actually seems and feels less functional (regardless of whether it actually is less functional or not). If I wanted to find a game on the list I could load up the list page and have them all sorted alpahbetically. I could scrioll quickly to the appropriate game and click on it. Now I have to look at some random selection of games sorted by... I don't know, popularity? Many of which are games I don't even play. Then I have to click a button to load up a second page where I'll hopefully be able to find the full list. That's an extra page to get to where I need to go at which point I'm better off just using an internet search engine. This might have added functionality in some ways but many actually useful functions have been diminished in favour of some god awful ugly mobile phone /console xbox kind of interface that just looks rubbish on a desktop pc screen.

Personally I can't stand the new site layout. I hope to be able to keep using the old version for as long as it's humanly possible. It's easier to sue, more intuitive and less of an eyesore.

I've got to say that, while I'm sure it's all very useful - the new design is just horrible to look at on my PC. It also actually seems less functional. It gives the strong impression of having been designed for tiny mobile phone screens which is great if you're using a mobile phone. It's also really hard to access the full games list anymore because I just get this annoying grid of random images (probably based on what's popular). I enjoy the ability to scroll down the list, to peruse what's on offer, and see if something new's been added. With the new list display system finding new games will be harder because they won't have many entries to push them to the top. I'm glad that the new version of the site uses live data but, at the moment, it just hurts my eyes. I'm glad that many people like it but I hope I can continue using the old look for a long time to come.
