Redesign Launch - Stage 2 in progress

[Kevin843]

The new design is a serious mess and terrible, since this is the best place for mods, I am forced to use it.

I personally find that I greatly prefer the new layout to the old one. Only problem has been that all my links link to the old design by default. Glad to see it shifting over.

A little advice:

I guess you guys saw the negative comments in here so i wont just stupidly bash:

the new design is good in its IDEA but there are just to many things that are wrong for the site:

- the Mod descriptions. its awful to go to a mod and sometimes really have to search for the description, cuz some people like to have long text in both the short description and the long one

- the size. many elements are just unnecesary big or placed bed like example the stuff in the download section of a mod (if a mod has for example 30 optional downloads its really a pain in the ass to go through)or the description tab in the whole (there is like a third blank place in the tab for description while the font is so small)

- performance (i guess this will be fixed). it takes (for me as example) 4 times as long to load sth in compare to the old site

- description in hot files. the most hot files dont have a proper name so the adding of the short description would be nice. also maybe make a 5 files the same size (i mean I really looks ridculously huge and i have a 1360x860 laptop monitor)

 

i see thelayout has some similarities with mobile apps or Steam so i guess the goal is to connect it with Vortex or have both same layouts. while i guess the idea for the UI in a manager/launcher/downloader is okay (it should be made more compact imo) its horrible to have this for a website where the peoplewont to have much information as possible in less space than it is now

 

i think if you guys go with making the UI more compact the site will get better and get less negative comments

 

 

PS: to the people who just Post "its shitty, i dont like it, you are stupid, i hate the design but use nexus because its best place but still hate u all" try to write what exactly is wrong what you hate on the new design so the Nexus Team can edit everything to everybodys preference. If a teacher would just insult you after you do sth wrong, i guess you wouldnt also know what you did wrong, now wouldnt you? ;)

Not sure if mentioned, all hot files should have the short description visible somehow. If the top two and new files get it, hot files should be a priority. I don't feel compelled to look at 90% of mods by name alone.

I love the new design! I've been using this site for almost 7 years, and the new design has really improved my experience. Searching is a million times better; checking the requirements for other mods is super helpful; viewing the images for mods is vastly improved. Everything is better and I'm really excited for the future of the site!

Although I really liked the old design, I didn't had any difficulty to adapt to the new website and I think I like it even more. The haters will get used to it. Thank you all to the Nexus team for the hard work you put into it, keep up the great work!

I like it!

Is there a way to do easy comment tracking on mods you made? The new design makes it harder to see if people commented on mods unless you go to the actual mod or i just don't know where feature is located.

Don't fix something if it's not broken, the old one looked and worked just fine

I find the new site much clearer and easier to navigate. The old page was a constant thorn in my side, illogical organization, awkward paging through images. I really can't imagine how you could have preferred it. I'll be using nexus a lot more and getting back into modding now that the site isn't saddled with such a poor UI.
