I disabled the ad block software for this site now, so I can check out these changes. Wasn't at all impressed with the previous ad service when I last checked it. I'm still curious to know whether the site generates an income based on simply having the ads displayed, or whether no income is generated unless someone actually clicks an ad?

Is it normal for me to NOT receive notifications for topics I post in on the Nexus site (not the forum site)? It seems when I post from there, I never get notifications (or subscribed to the topic). I've looked at options for specifying that topics I post in or reply to should be set to subscribe, but it never seems to function as I expect unless I come here to the forum site and click the check box. Is there some other option, either on this side or the download site, that I've been missing?

In response to post #24882324. #24883664 is also a reply to the same post. It would be a great start there, but still requires the user to visit the Nexus site to see that list. Once a player has got their mod setup running and ready to play, they will visit the Nexus far less frequently, and hence not see the messages. I use MO, so not sure how NMM works, but I need to start MO every time I play, so a reminder there would be the perfect place.

I feel the donation system as it stands is flawed in that any suggestion of donating appears during the download phase, before it's even been played. I'd hazard that people aren't likely to want to donate for a mod they haven't even commenced downloading yet, and once it parts of the extensive list of mods, tracking down a particular mod on Nexus to donate probably doesn't get a look in. I'd like to see the mod managers get on board, offering the option there of donating. Perhaps a function that can list mods sorted by length of time installed, which would offer users a method of seeing which of their list of mods have 'stood the test of time' so to speak, and are worthy of revisiting on the Nexus and making a donation. MO has an icon for not endorsed mods. Maybe an icon for not donated (that can just be cleared manually, or the ability to highlight a mod with a donate reminder (for mod users in their individual mod manager, not by mod authors to apply to all downloads of their mod). The point being it needs to be something in the mod manager, since the donate options on Nexus only get seen when visiting the site, which occurs much less frequently when actually playing the content which is under consideration for donations.

In response to post #24595124. #24595439, #24595614, #24595784, #24595894 are all replies on the same post. Chesko has a post saying Valve told him that as long as it's not included in his download, it's fair game. I'm not hating on Chesko, just saying that was the policy presented to him and as such can be considered policy from Valves point of view (probably)
