Since we're doing a "give me your top 3 gripes about the ongoing changes" thing, I'll give you mine as elaborately and detailed as possibly/required (this is in no means what's most important to be improved, but rather a personal opinion piece from my own (limited) experience of using this site): 1) Browsing new and updated mods - Continuing to browse past the first page on the Home page sends you to the Mods page Whereas before you could keep browsing on the Home page for seemingly as long as you'd like, now you're being redirected to the Mods page whenever you click the 'View more >' button; making switching categories after you've sufficiently browsed the current category annoying, a hassle... It's just a shame that something as convenient as it was before, now requires you to make multiple inputs and load different pages - Poor integration of the Home page results into the Mods pages results When you click on the 'View more >' button, and are directed to the Mods page, the first 16 mods are ones you've already seen on the Home page, making the page only have 4 new mods. So whenever you - Style changes between the Home page and Mods page The Home page being seemingly hard locked in having only 4 columns per row, whereas the Mods page adjusts the number of columns to your resolution, giving someone with a 1920x1080 resolution 5 columns or 6 without the filters being shown. 2) Search - Quick search making it so you can't view the page you're currently on anymore Whenever I need to search for something, it usually means that I don't know what it is I'm looking for, or where I can find it. This is especially the case whenever I used the Quick search feature: I see something mentioned that didn't have a link, write it in the search bar, check if I spelled it correctly, and double check to see if I missed something (if the results didn't meet my expectations). Now that kind of convenient integration is gone, since clicking on the search bar basically opens up a new page altogether. - Search results page All search categories get just a single row of results: first 6 Mods, then Games, etc.. No tabs to switch, just scrolling down. Want to see something that isn't in the top 6 (4 for both Pictures and Videos) You'll have to click on the 'View all >' letters and be directed towards that specific page. Visual changes I'm sure you've heard most of these before, so I'll only expand on some of them (from a 1920x1080 resolution user): - (wasted) vertical space above 'Mods' selection on the Home page. - (wasted) horizonal space between mod tiles (and on the sides of the Home page). - Size of the tiles - Cutting off titles - Vertical misalignment between mod tiles due to the length of the title and/or category. Some titles and mod categories use two rows instead of one. This means that all the other information moves around as well: the name of the author is now where otherwise the category is supposed to be, and so on. - Headache inducing color scheme/contrast Bonus Round: - Implementation time It's been 4 months since the closed beta started - and a month since the open beta ended, and just recently some of the numerous missing features started coming back, and some fairly basic features are still being explored by the staff team, whatever that means? Can we expect everything on that list to be added in the near future, or is it just corpo speak where you can later say "we've explored considering the possibility of bringing this back, but..."? Normally you'd come to expect a nearly finished product when it rolls out of beta (cause that's what the beta is for, right?), but this was anything but. - Purpose of the beta & communication We're closing in on 170 mod comments. A fair amount of them do address some unexpected developments - and bugs, but never any response on the content of the feedback (wasn't this topic once called the UI Overhaul Discussion at some point? Just wondering if I'm misremembering something or not); only to state negative feedback wasn't up to your standards for constructiveness (positive feedback is exempt from that requirement). All this lack of response makes me wonder what the intention of the beta test was, cause it seems like you're hell-bent on not changing a single aspect of the new look, going as far to (mockingly) calling people UX professionals, and saying you're not looking for their input cause you disagree. Even at the beginning of this threat - at the beginning of the open beta, most of the messages here were about the UI design, but none were addressed, and nothing has changed since then. The "this is how it is now." was especially telling. The other messages were all to discredit our concerns and suggestions, saying that with a few more inconvenient actions, you can get almost the same results as you used to; and of course the discredit of the ones that post here as well, saying the negativity towards the changes is just from a handful of complainers here, that there weren't any negative responses on the Feedback page, news pages, or elsewhere. Then, when questions, complaints, and suggestions were coming in over there as well, you kept deleting them, calling it spam, and even shutting down the entire Feedback page... Look, I get it: you're just a cog in the machine that just has to deal with consumers, trying to defend a change they had very little to do with, and may fairly well not agree with either, but in hindsight (and in every other form of sight as well), a lot of this negative outrage could be prevented had you just said something in the lines of "we're continuing working on improving the user interface in order enhance everyone's experience. Your feedback is heard and taken into consideration.". Obviously, just my opinions. P.S.: I never intended to post this much (though it's not exactly 170 messages either). I came here, like at least a couple others, because I was confused that the website suddenly looked incredibly bad, and performed even worse; but now have a lot more questions. I try my best to to as brutally honest as I can be: call a spade a spade, and call out a spade for pretending to be a diamond as well. Though maybe that's not something you want to hear, sometimes a different perspective is needed to get a fresh outlook on things (we can't something, something, echo chamber stuff). Feel free to disagree, but I am not at this time looking for further input from communication professionals.

The first polls were held here in this topic on the forums. Even though they initially boasted about the number of participants, they recently changed course stating "Quite a small percentage of our overall userbase interacts with the forums.", so make of it what you will. Despite what most people have come here to do (some more detailed than others), this topic never was meant for feedback. At first you were urged to use the now infamous surveys to give your feedback in, as they were doubtful about it being seen here on the forums or the Discord server. Later on, long after the surveys closed, we were told to use the Fider Board thingamajic to leave our feedback at, but after they closed it, because it was too bothersome to go through and delete our feedback, they made the Suggestion Board the new designated feedback location. This right here is the Mod Browsing Overhaul Discussion topic. And even though it's often used by people to make their opinions public, that in itself still contributes to the discussion.

What does "at some specific sizes" even mean? I'm using a 1920x1080 resolution, the one you've said you modeled your UI for. I tried changing resolutions, zooming in, zooming out; but the size of the letters just changes with. If there are ways to (relatively) decrease the size of the letters in the titles, like you're implying; please do tell me.

Because, unlike the numerous polls they held, they want everyone to watch their 1 hour upload of stock office sounds they used to mock the people contributing to their site's success.

Either you messed up your quote or you severely misinterpreted it. The person tried to make it clear that the Main Page doesn't have a single use for people who regularly use this website to enhance their games (it hasn't been updated yet, so it's still difficult to navigate), since it doesn't provide any useful information for them. Furthermore, your response, other than it most likely being auto-generated by an outdated version of an AI chat generator, based on your language comprehension, contains a pretty big flaw: cause you can't filter by keyword on that page; thus you didn't exclude the word 'books', or included 'armor', you excluded and included tags instead, dropping your results to less than a third the mods with the same filters enabled.

This is not just on mobile, but on the "desktop" version as well.

Right now a lot of titles get cut off halfway due to the layout only being able to show just a handful of words. This leads to the user not being able to see vital information such as if it's a translation, a patch, or any information about body types, characters/objects/places... you name it, and we don't see it. Either extend the area, use a smaller font, or make use of a hover menu or something.

Unlike the search function here on Nexus, Google search works just fine. Just search for whatever you wish to find, in this case 'stylus for Opera', and press the enter key: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/privacy_policy/27c0f4146c879f67a91b70f93f4eee4a01846fdd/

Since you can no longer browse on the home page, and instead are redirected to the first page of the Mods page whenever you click on 'View more mods >', I'd want to ask you if you could make the number of mods per page on the home page (16) the same as the amount of mods on the Mods page (20), or vice versa. Right now, when you click on the button, the first 16 mods are those you've already seen, and only the last 2 mods on the 3rd row, and the first 2 mods on the 4th row are new ones; making it a bit more cumbersome to navigate the entire thing. Looking forward to hearing from you.

How do you visit it from a game specific link? When I'm on a game's page, click the 'Download history' button, it doesn't bring me to the game specific link, thus showing me mods from other games as well.

They've set it to 'all content' by default, even if you're on the Mods or Collections page. Only way to change it is to do so manually before each search query.

The cool thing about the new suggestion box is that you can see how many staff members have read your suggestion without taking any action whatsoever.

So that you can use those lack of votes to convince people they're the ones in the wrong.

The new placement of the Filters tab isn't necessarily bad, But could you please make it a bit wider so it can properly show the categories?

For context: this was a suggestion made in 2022 that has yet to receive a response from the staff team.
