  1. So i have read through several pages of this forum now (I am not reading all 26 pages, that is silly) and I have come to this conclusion. A large amount of us want things to go back to how they were, a slightly smaller group sticks to the admins side and says new is better, and the admins do not want criticism that states that the older version is better. I think at this point it is safe to assume that a sum of money was spent to get our new version of nexus, and that the likelihood of it going back to the old version is next to zero. So I would say the following: 1. To the old group who wants to keep the old format (I am included in this group) give the admin a chance to show us what the new format can do. There are a lot of examples in history that show that people fight against the new and unfimiliar until they realize it is better. Maybe this is an occasion such as this. I personally do not like the new direction the site has gone into, but I also realize my bias as I have been using this site since early 2005ish. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work we can riot then. After we have tried though. Nothing worse than a bunch of rioters that are unsure why they are rioting. ( I am not good at analogies) 2. To the group that likes the change. I cannot speak for you but can ask of you that if you like this format be the ambassadors for it. No ambassador would poke fun at or laugh at a person in their care (once again analogies, not my strong point) So be the bigger person and herald the change for our Admin Overlords. Repeatedly stating that something is better or you like it better than the old one is no better than us who like the old one saying its better. Have patience with those of us who cannot see the program the same way as you and share stories or insight to how this new format is better. 3. Admin. Whooo boy! I know from personal experience that trying to give a group of people something vastly different from what they are used to is difficult. I worked with doctors in the Air Force and trying to tell a Lt Col who was also a PhD that we were changing everything they were used to doing to something else was frustrating. You opened it up for feedback on the new system and got a lot of flak for it. A few suggestions if I may. Asking for feedback and receiving requests to change it back to the old format IS a form of criticism. Yes there was an investment made to change to something new, but ignoring or dismissing people because they don't want the thing you are providing is frustrating for everyone. Show parallels between the old and the new. When people state they want the old back find out what it is about the old format they like. Name calling and swearing makes little progress at the end of the day, and it seems that a few admin have felt frustrated enough to resort to that level of behavior. At the end of the day it is your decision as to what the format of this site will be, but it will be the decision of the users of the site how successful and profitable it will be. At the end of the day all feedback should be looked at. If the new format is here to stay I have little choice but to use it. I can say that I will give it a fair shot. I just ask my concerns and issues be treated the same as anyone elses.
  2. I do not like the new setup for this site. I have been using The Nexus for what seems like forever (since 2005 at least) and even have a lifetime membership. I will continue to use the site for as long as it provides the quality and quantity of mods it has always provided. However, I feel that the need to move to an "updated" look shot the site in the foot. Pretty to look at and ease of access are not necessarily mutually exclusive. If there was an underlying reason to update the site please let us know, but if you are trying to put a new coat of paint on a otherwise perfect website please stop.
