  1. I tracked a bunch of mods (to review later) some weeks ago, in a single day, many of them. Know of any way to isolate the tracked mods list so that I can identify those ones without having to sift through the whole thousand or so I'm tracking? I just assumed there would be a way to see them in recent order, as with the downloaded mods list :sad:
  2. Haha. Yes. Well if most whole wheat communion wafers buyers also bought those then I guess it will still be the case for most of the future buyers, so the algorithm still works in most cases... so while it may not be intuitive, it's not wrong practically either in most cases :b since it guesses something they'd be interested in. Another possibility ... the algorithm suggests something that has a high profit margin. Is there that much money in crackers, even special ones? Yeah, not much probably, since competition is plenty.

  4. Haha interesting mod find though. I should look through the forums more often. Although... too many mods... Not sure what to make of your forum title. And our national anthem's "wake up, Romanian" - it's not even literally; they do play it on TV at 6 AM though haha. It (your title) does remind me of a philosophical idea in some book (something like people only wake up at exact hours because they're stupid I think it was - I only read the back cover probably).
  5. Would be nice when visiting a mod page to have a sidebar(s) (and other places, or link to lists based on the mod) with: random mod;mod of the day / month, etc. in that category;popular, respectively trending mods in same category / with similar title;mod most others have chosen downloading after visiting this mod (like Amazon's etc. what other people interested have bought);mods other people also download / use / endorse who have downloaded this (like Amazon's etc. people also buy);you get the gist.The idea of course is to more naturally discover a greater variety of mods (and more obscure but maybe fascinating ones) and even better / newer alternatives / "reborn" ones why not etc.
  6. Also related, being able to make a note on a mod would be useful. I sometimes want to remember something specific about a mod because the author may have not updated the description or just didn't think to mention - compatibilities and such. This might be a separate tab on a mod page and the notes would be private maybe, unlike the comments, and they'd stand out somehow (the note tab highlighted or even show my note on the description page). This would also improve on the aspect of mods that have been hidden etc. because at least you've still got your own info on the mod and can remember what it was about. Another thing that would be useful is to be able to see all of my notes in a table, like a list of mods with the notes I've made on them.
  7. In the same vein, being able to filter these lists to only see mods I haven't already tracked, endorsed, downloaded (or combinations of these) would also help when I'm only looking for new mods since there are so many mods to browse through.
  8. I've seen the option to track a mod right from the search results (and top mods lists and so on), but no option to not see a mod again in the lists. My reasoning is some mods have been made obsolete, while others I simply found better replacements for and I'm sure I never want to go back, and, in some cases, I've found mods that replace several other mods' functionality that I was interested in. Seeing them again in the results would just create confusion for me since my memory is far from perfect and I might be inclined to use them again, when obviously I don't need them anymore or they might even break functionality in mods I already use since they're sure not to be compatible, when they deal with the exact same game functions or what to call them. I imagine this is something that would definitely be useful? Or at least somehow be able to mark such mods in an obvious way. Can we please get this feature? I'm repeating myself but I feel guilty for not being more involved after having profited by using mods for so long - thank you Nexus for existing and you're doing a great job already, I'm not criticizing - the website definitely has almost all of the functionality we could even think of. It's amazing really. It's due to this quality that I want even more :D Keeping my fingers crossed.
  9. That sure seems to contradict every statement made previously on this thread people have been trying to make about how modders are in full ownership and control of their mods and pages... to someone unknowledgeable about any of this legal stuff, like me, at least. I mean if someone can do what they will with your work such as change it, and control access to it and distribute it, ownership doesn't seem to matter much. It is confusing with so many experienced members appearing to vehemently state the contrary.
  10. Hey, aren't you legend around here? I feel nervous haha. I thought you might not even be around anymore, I've seen your name in so many old posts. I'm probably using some of your mods, I imagine. Thank you! Well but even so, there must be a better way than the generic unavailable page message we get.
  11. :-) I'm glad it helped. Yeah, maybe there is some basis / good reason for not redirecting the old URLs. Or maybe it was just not that much of a problem, or people would've complained more on the forums and I imagine a redirect would've been set. Hey, I should lend a hand more often - it feels great to feel a little useful for a change!
  12. Thanks! I apologize if I overreacted - seems like a legitimate interest. I did comment on your discussion thread on the subject whatever I can share - hope it helps with your research! Did I understand well this is for a project you're doing as part of your education, for the university? Might help sway others who may be reluctant to, like me, into being more interested in filling-in that survey if you mention that.
  13. One common thing I noticed by browsing through hundreds of mod pages these past few weeks is former (usually) authors / modders (call them what you will) leaving the stage / abandoning the project with a sour taste because of the negative feedback or lack of appreciation on the part of the users. My first thought is the users are younger, and lack what might be considered common-sense. The whole situation / reactions feel exaggerated. But indeed actors, while they don't give up on their profession because of being overwhelmed by negative stuff such as being assaulted by fan hordes when they've become a star, don't work for free... It makes sense that mod authors expect something back and getting negative responses would have more of an effect on them. I think mods generally do get good feedback too though, and I expect good quality ones are probably not affected by this negative feedback issue as much / often, since they have a larger user base, which should be a positive fact / feedback / confirmation in itself. But I haven't really been involved much with the modding community honestly, so it's just what I've noticed, and, for this reason, I am not the guy to propose solutions.
  14. Because the OP is a spammer, that's why, and these threads should be locked and hidden away. The site is not just reminding us that it needs support, it also keeps reminding us that the modders need support. Is that an annoyance to you too that all things are not just free and fall out of the sky? I haven't gotten the chance to support these guys just yet, but looking a gift horse in the mouth and complaining is just the most disgusting thing man. That's people's work you're just profiting off of shamelessly. I'd give these guys a warning if it were me. Or maybe two because they didn't even bother to check it's already been discussed a thousand times. Stupid. "I can't afford" - you can't even afford a thank you? Guys like this don't deserve anything.
  15. Yeah you do need help. 5 to 10 minutes and why, or who specifically. You're probably making money off of surveys and this is just a free way to advertise it for all we know. You're not offering much context and you're just a new user already offering to take the discussion elsewhere. This all feels shady.
