So I just happened to notice that there are now 4 additional game slots for favorites (total of 12), but the main page still says 8. Is this a new premium membership benefit or just a change to see if anyone will notice?

Suggestion: Adding a Tracking column to the Download History
amoeba00 posted a topic in Site Support
In the Tracking Centre - there's a column for last download, but there doesn't appear to be a "Tracking" column in the My Download History page. Is that something that could be added? https://www.nexusmods.com/mods/trackingcentre https://www.nexusmods.com/users/myaccount?tab=download+history Otherwise, the only way to know if you are actually tracking a mod is by visiting the actual mod page. (unless there's another way that I didn't see). Thanks! -
Happy New Year!

Clearly, there would be some significant work on the back end to mitigate against a compromised account, and it may turn out that the effort does not justify the result. It's a topic that a lot of end users don't understand - and all too often you wind up with files having the same name floating around with no mechanism at all to validate if it is the same file that was originally presented. Just like crime of any type - if someone truly wanted to wreck havoc with your life - not much you can do to stop them. You can, however, take a few preventive measures, so that maybe they decide it's easier to try another target.

Given the recent attention to the validity of files, I wonder if now some sort of additional validation system might be worth another look.

Has there been any thought to possibly posting the MD5 hash of the files that are made available for download? I just downloaded a Nexus file (not a .7z mod, but still one from the Nexus) that Norton/Symantec detected as having a virus. Now in all liklihood, it's a false positive, since the heuristic detection was dated months after the file had already been uploaded on the system, but that got me thinking.... Seems to me, that's one way to get unsuspecting folks to download and install this new CryptoVirus and have their systems hijacked. Of course, for a system like this to work - it would have to be handled by the system on the backend and not by the author (since if the author's account is the one that's compromised - then it's easy enough to post the "updated" hash). And then a historical list would need to be kept and monitored, etc. etc. Now, there might be some security measures in place already behind the scenes, but figured it would be worth mentioning. Thoughts? Or should folks just know better, nothing to see here, moving along....?
