Great improvement to the download/update indicators. Just want to point out that the "download" one is missing the drop shadow that the "update available" one has.

A quick and dirty mockup (wasn't able to add to the previous post.) I'm not a designer though, so this could probably look better while retaining the improved readability. While the aesthetic of the new site design is sleek and modern looking, I think it sacrifices some readability in places compared to the old design. I feel there are some relatively simple improvements that could be implemented to help.

Glad to see the return of the downloaded/updated indicators, though not so much in their current form. They're much more difficult to notice at a quick glance, especially on images like the ones attached. They look nice enough on their own but they could definitely benefit from some color or something for improved discovery and visibility. Maybe an orange outline around the indicator? -vs-

I'm going to have to agree with the complaints about the current level of high contrast. I understand this was designed to help those with impairments but just reading through this thread is straining and fatiguing to my eyes. I don't have this issue as much on the profile page when looking at the tiles as they're a lighter grey. Anecdotally, I've not seen such a high contrast for any other web page, not by default. Optional, yes, which is what I believe it should be for those who need it.

I can't really say I care for the author's profile picture/avatar being placed over each thumbnail of each mod on their own mod page. It feels like unnecessary visual clutter for me, personally. ETA: I understand these changes will come to the rest of the site at some point, so I understand why it's (likely) there to begin with. That being said, if the author's avatar was placed next to their name, a bit smaller, on the mod "card", I think it'd look infinitely better.

Just adding my voice to those that have been experiencing terrible slowness and downloads that work only half of the time. Has been occurring for at least the past several days, if not longer. Was/am considering premium, but not if this continues much longer. Especially with no official word or anything. edit: Oh yeah, and notifications for tracked mods took almost THREE days to appear.

This thread is continual entertainment, if nothing else.

My speculation > yours. -This entire thread

I feel like an FAQ should be stickied to the first post as the same questions, same suggestions, same queries - all of which have been answered ad naseum at this point - keep popping up. Even if the answer to someones question was literally answered a page and/or even a handful of posts back. But then again, most people probably wouldn't even bother reading it and it would continue anyway. Just like on most mod pages. No one reads the stickies. @_@ Anyway, shout out to moreHUD and its author, as it's an essential mod for me that requires SKSE that I haven't seen anyone mention in their lists and the author has posted at least a couple times in this thread with having full intent to port when SKSE64 is out. Fantastic mod that has never left my SLE load order and one of the first I think of when I think of SKSE-only mods.

And here is what EnaiSiaion (mod author of Apocalypse, Wildcat, Ordinator, and other mods) had to say shortly afterwards: So please don't tell me that we're imagining things. Might I suggest that the cheerleaders on here face the very real possibility that we will get nothing from the silverlock.org team. Neither of which are on the SKSE team, so I'm not sure what your point is there. I think you misunderstood what I was saying in any case. I never said people couldn't or shouldn't ask questions. As ozoak aptly put above, we are not owed anything, but we were given the expectation of some sort of information or update around the project. By all means, ask for an update or express your pessimism at the project in general. I get it, people are impatient, there was a tentative time set for a beta, there hasn't been an update and that time has passed and some are worried whether it will ever come. It crosses the line for me, however, when people act like they are owed or entitled to SKSE64 in the first place, let alone someone suggesting that the devs said they were working on it with no intent to release it for the "sole purpose to troll." Like I said, I get it, I'm there with you wanting an update at minimum, but at least be reasonable, people. It's pretty obvious that, at present, the devs are either not reading this thread or have reason or care to post one. Personally, while I of course hope the project will see the light of day and we'll get an update soon, I'll share a similar attitude to those you quoted: It doesn't exist until it exists, I'll assume development has ceased or hit a snag, and I'll be pleasantly surprised if we receive anything at all, whether sooner or later. SKSE team may have set some people up for disappointment with going public and putting a date, but some of that expectation and disappointment (or lack thereof) falls on individuals as well.

With all due respect, they don't have to do any of that, they don't owe anyone anything. They are doing this for free. It has nothing to do with common courtesy. Don't pretend it is. That said, they did post a date and set expectations. This is usually a pretty big mistake in the software world unless it is internal for production. This thread is evidence of why that is... bulls***. They publicly announced they were going to release it, that alone gives the community justification to demand updates, especially after they failed to release in the time frame they stated would. For all we know right now they could be doing this for the sole purpose of trolling us and never intended to release SKSE. Defending them by saying they aren't getting paid and what not is being nothing but a milk drinker. They publicly announced a tentative date for a beta release. Do you understand the underlined words? Whether you believe you're justified to demand updates is irrelevant as they are not obligated to provide them for something that you, nor anyone else, is paying them for. I agree it would be nice, but it is not something they owe you. They are not providing a product or service that you have purchased, they are volunteering their time and effort to create and distribute something, for free. And when or even if they decide to do that is 100% up to them. And if you think they're possibly "doing this for the sole purpose of trolling" you are the one who is completely full of s*** and out of touch and completely lacking perspective with the modding community and the team behind SKSE.
