First I'd suggest F5 to clear your browser cache. Second try using a different browser such as Chrome or Firefox and see if you have the same problem. Third, as a final resort, try a good, thorough virus/malware scan using several engines (many of them provide a free online scanner).

You must select at least one line item for Ctrl+A to work. This is contrary to standard Windows functionality where merely having the window open permits use of Ctrl+A to select all contents, so in answer to Tannins question about an example of a Windows program that does not [act like Vortex in that matter], the answer is "most of them".

Try Better Settlers-The New Settlers-Beautiful Female Settlers merged patch. You will need the original Better Settlers as a prerequisite. You can configure all sorts of things about how new settlers will be generated, including % of females, appearances, armour and weapons they will spawn with, mortality, etc. I've never seen a ghoul spawn in my settlements while using it, even though I don't recall there being a specific setting for ghouls.

Except for Karliah, all dark elves have red eyes. That is...they are supposed to, due to the curse laid upon them. Only one problem, the Sarethi sisters have what look like really bad cataracts, which has always made me wonder how they can see. They don't appear to have any difficulty seeing, yet this ocular defect completely blots out the proper eye colour (or maybe someone at Bethesda just forgot to assign the correct colour). It would be one thing if there were some lore to account for it, like maybe it's that way because they eat too much of that Nirnroot cultivated on their farm, but there's no explanation.

Limited Vortex alpha release today, full release soon
GlassDeviant replied to Dark0ne's topic in Site Updates
In response to post #57675401. #57957771 is also a reply to the same post. Put your downloads on another drive. You can configure practically every mod manager that exists to store your downloads wherever you want. Honestly, does nobody else store their downloaded mods, so they don't ever have to download them again unless a new version comes out? HDDs are cheap, I have a 2TB one JUST for storing game related stuff (mods, updates, maps, etc.). SSDs are for performance, so you only need stuff that's in use to be on them, which means (arguably) your OS, games, and active/installed mods. -
Limited Vortex alpha release today, full release soon
GlassDeviant replied to Dark0ne's topic in Site Updates
In response to post #60130231. Haven't used it yet, but I would assume it's drag and drop, since part of the design philosophy of Vortex is simplicity. -
LE Thieves Guild: Taking Care of Business Skip or Relationship Fix
GlassDeviant replied to umbraerus's topic in Skyrim's Mod Ideas
Sorry to necro, but due to the google results I thought it justified: for those finding themselves here after searching, there is a mod for this now: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/78503 There is also a mod to change how the thieves guild recruitment works, and the above mod work with it if you use the correct version. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14157/?- 1 reply

Stacking Standing stones through Console Command
GlassDeviant replied to BrimmerGAmer's topic in Skyrim's Skyrim LE
You can look them up here: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Standing_Stones plus there are other abilities listed here: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Powers So for example you could have any race you want with any powers, like a Nord with the Khajiit Night-Eye and the Argonian Waterbreathing powers, the 100% disease resistance of a Werewolf or Vampire without becoming one (which also prevents you from ever contracting either disease except when you do the two quests that involve becoming a Werewolf), and maybe top it off with Prowler's Profit without having to collect all of the Stones of Berenziah, if you choose to play that way. Personally I like Night-Eye so much that I delete every greater and lesser power of whatever race I play (except Argonian waterbreathing) and give myself Night-Eye.- 6 replies

Ok first, it was not nested spoilers, it was three distinct and discrete, i.e.: top level, sets of spoiler tags. Second, it occurs only in the third pair of spoiler tags. Third, it appears only on the mod pages, not in the forums which display all of the tags properly. Your example post did not exhibit the bug because you did not do three top level spoiler tags, you did two top level and one nested spoiler. This behaviour is displayed on no less than five different browsers across three computers and a tablet, so there is no way that "something else", at least involving your implication that it is on the client end, could corrupt it since that same thing would have to exist on five different browsers, on four different devices, running three different operating systems. As noted here: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/web-issues/issues/411 You should be able to see it here, where it is at this moment still the first unstickied post on the mod page: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/8889?tab=posts

I have been...somewhat moderate (relative to how I felt when posting) in my hopefully constructive criticism of the new site up until now, because I didn't want to be one of the people being ignored due to foaming at the mouth ranting and cussing, I wanted to contribute to making the new design (somehow) better, but what has happened today has completely blown my mind into tiny pieces. After attempting to fix a problem where a forum post with more than two sets of spoiler tags does not display correctly in either the new mods site OR the OLD mods site, I have come to the conclusion that the developers of the Nexus either have a severe deficiency in their knowledge of how to code HTML properly, or they use code generating tools that produce obscene, bloated code and never examine the code for machine-generated issues (or don't know how to) to find and fix the sort of mistakes auto-generated code is invariably full of. Because that's what looks like happened here, I've seen it before countless times. I opened the problematic post for the first time on the mods site and what confronted me made me want to vomit just a little. A text block consisting of many short lines of ini file entries had DIV TAGS ON NEARLY EVERY LINE INCLUDING LINE SPACING! What the heck? There should be ONE set of div tags with br tags or, at MOST, p tags to separate lines! Div tags are for DIVISION of blocks of text, not LINE SPACING! I can't even begin to figure out what is wrong with the handling of more than two sets of spoiler tags in a post when the code for handling the text within posts is so badly written. Actually that's not true, I could do it, I've dealt with this sort of auto-generated junk before. What I can't do is look at this mess for long enough to get the job done. (Edited for less vehemence and vitriol)

Something has just blown my minds (both of them) regarding this new layout, because for the first time I have looked at it with my tablet. Why is there no completely separate mobile version of the site front end, as in m.nexusmods.com? All of the complaints I've seen, and had myself, for this site are worse on my iPad, with just a couple of redeeming qualities for mobile use, that mess up the site for PC use. I can't imagine what it would be like browsing for mods on a tiny little phone screen. Most of the opportunities presented by a complete site redesign at this particular point in time have been completely wasted. You could have made a back end setup that exposed the right information to allow multiple front UIs, but no, this was not done, everyone gets the same mixed up mess on every platform. Here's what I see on a 9.7" tablet screen, while looking at the same page on my 4k PC monitor: Big, fat buttons with lots of space for fat fingers. Great on mobile, totally wasted on the PC. Large menus with fast drop-downs that make browsing on mobile nice, but are a serious pain in the behind on a PC because they get in your way, constantly dropping down at unwanted times when your mouse passes over them, another retro feature that should have stayed dead with the early 2000s. A big, fat empty field with a little, tiny banner ad below the search bar, taking up A THIRD OF MY SCREEN! No idea how it looks on the PC as I am logged in here. Some fonts way too big, some way too small on the tablet, probably unreadable on a small phone, MUCH too big on the PC, would be even worse on a 1440p or 1080p screen. All of the Endorsement, DLs, file size and version info at the bottom of the screen, so I have to swipe up. Finally the menu for the mod shows up, but I need to swipe again for the description to show more than a tiny bit. Huge swathes of oversized graphics where mod authors have gone way overboard in the description (yes, I know you didn't put them there, but you knew they were there and did this anyway). Did it even occur to you that you needed more than one front end for modern users?

Oh it goes way beyond that. Especially when downloading multiuple files from the same mod page. I would say at least 20% of modders can't provide a useful file name for their downloads, and 80% could use some degree of improvement. Some even have the wrong name because they are a patch to make some other mod work with the mod you are currently browsing, and are named something like name_of_other_mod + "patch" + modID of this mod. If the downloads did not have the mod ID at the end of the filename so I can look them up on the website, some of them would get binned simply because I have no idea WTF they are. I have to rename at least 80%, probably more, of the zip/rar/7z mod archives I have just to keep some semblance of order. Make no mistake, I have utmost admiration for the creativity of these folks. Geniuses at modding, but some turn their brains off when naming their uploads.

Actually it's not modern, it's retro, which is all the rage these days. All the bad things about the old way of doing web UIs have been brought back. It's a textbook example of how not to design a website. I acknowledge that the website needed a lot of changes on the back end, but a lot (not all, but a lot) of the front-end stuff is indefensible.
