  1. 9DM is basically 3DM clone. Thing is nexusmods can be randomly blocked, unblocked at times with the great firewall. It usually has more to do with three things, either the fear of something not being accessible, the want to translate and make money off it or translation and letting people who have a very poor/no grasp of english(and being unable to interact with a foreign language site at all) a chance to interact with someone who can "explain" the mod, this then begets derivatives of your mod and so on. The latter is also very popular in Japan, but declining with more people being proficient in english.
  2. Saying "latest version" really doesn't mean much. Builds based around Chrome 59/early 60 releases would fail. Same with Firefox/waterfox builds based around core 56.0/56.0.x not including the 56.0.3 builds. FF57 seems to be mainly stable and properly working. If on the other hand, you were using Waterfox 56(nov17) it was 100% broken. Palemoon which uses a fundamentally different way of dealing with the standards works 100% of the time though.
  3. In otherwords, they've decided to take the path of snapchat, google, youtube, various other companies/divisions and so on. Change something that worked perfectly fine, and instead of laying a backend that worked with the existing frontend, decided to toss it to the wind and make it so that it makes 270 calls to various api hosts to do something. Ever wonder why the layout for amazon doesn't change, fundamentally stays the same? I'll give you a hint, it's because it doesn't have to. Remember the big backlash against the Win8.x UX redesign to the point where MS had to implement something approaching the old NT menu system. Yeah, I bet you do. The whole point behind a UX redesign is to "add something" to the user experience, not to step backwards because everyone else is doing redesigns so we need to do it too! It also doesn't help that the pages are so fundamentally CPU and memory hungry it's stupid. This isn't just a nexus problem, it's a wider "web 3.0" problem. Half a dozen sites using the same stuff the nexus is can easily eat 2GB of memory and soak an entire core all on it's own. Seriously, I've been here a lot longer then you. It's a *bad* redesign, but being that the nexus has no real competition it's not going to hurt them unless the rest of the new developments are lackluster or an absolute disaster. edit: I'll bet that if you pasted the same link into Edge, it would serve just fine. Meaning that there's likely a compatibility problem between firefox and chrome and their web engines to properly understand what's going on. That in itself isn't a firefox or chrome problem, but a site compatibility problem.
  4. Start serving ads on your own network, and make sure that they're not serving malware and you'll likely have more luck with people not using adblockers in the first place. Nexus is large enough it could serve it's own ads. That does require work from your end, and it also requires users to trust you not to infect their machines. Offering a bounty or compensation if an advertiser infects users(such as unfettered downloads for life or some such) would also likely get people to turn off ad blockers. Sites like forbes have already seen a massive decline in viewership, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's dead in two years since it's effectively turned into a blog farm. News sites like the Guardian are going the same way as well, I give it three years and it'll be nothing but a blog farm as well. edit: This is the reason why people are blocking ads. https://blog.malwarebytes.org/malvertising-2/2016/03/large-angler-malvertising-campaign-hits-top-publishers/
  5. I'm seeing the same thing with witcher.nexusmods.com, soon as I log out though there's no problem.
  6. Yeah the 1.6fw is a really nice. I've got another box that's going to Win8 which is my work machine and has the same drive on it as well, which will be getting the 1.7fw update when it all goes over. If it looks good I might update this one too.
  7. Well for anyone curious on how well they last/life expediency and all that? Here's my OCZ Vertex which is a first generation SSD, Nearly 900 power on counts, with almost 8600 hours in use, full page file on the drive(12GB). The drive itself started out on Windows XP(x64), then went to Windows 7 with a secure wipe/repartition/reformat to deal with the partition alignment issue. I've got another 60GB SSD I use just for games that have nasty load times(Shogun2, a few MMO's that type of stuff). Though to be honest, it's about due for a secure wipe. I've been putting off doing a flash to the 1.7 firmware for over two years because I like the 1.6. Raw smart data for anyone actually interested.
  8. If that's the case, it could be that your PSU is actually right at the limit for the videocard then. So it was getting just hot enough trying to power up it was tripping the internal thermal switch. Something you might not know, you actually lose between 15 and 25% of it's rated wattage and amperage in the first year. And between 1-5% every following year. Glad to know you got it up and working though, cheers and enjoy they're a great card.
  9. Wattage means nothing. Especially on some junk PSU's, even some higher quality PSU's, as they use a combined 12v rail. You need to have a min of 30 amps across the 12v rails for it to even post if you're using a CPU made within the last year or two. Though most people are saying 32-35 amps just to be sure on a dedicated +12 pcie line. The card runs cooler than the previous 500 series, but it's power hungry. Post your model and brand of PSU, that'll help.
