HadToRegister

When uploading a mod today, I had to fill in a small description of the mod. Once Again, I had to USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS, because my OLD EYES with RETINOPATHY that give me OCULAR MIGRAINES, could not SEE the words I was trying to type. Go ahead and try to read that, that's an actual screenshot of the “Back End” that Mod Author's have to use when uploading a mod. For someone my age, with my eye problems, that is almost invisible, and it certainly does not fall into ANY “Usability Guidelines” that I know of.

And there it is, folks. The Nexus' equivalent of Blizzard's “DO YOU NOT HAVE PHONES?”

Because of all the extra clicking and keyboard usage, you need to rename it, because it can no longer be referred to as a "Quick Search” anymore. It's like whoever looked at the quick search, and thought, “How can I make this take MORE Clicks, More Keyboard Commands, show LESS info, while also blocking the entire website, and making it slower overall.” MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

LOL Whatever My point is, I DIDN'T HAVE TO TYPE ANYTHING TO OPEN THE SEARCH WINDOW BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A WORTHLESS SEARCH WINDOW BEFORE. “BUT THESE GO TO ELEVEN” is the response I'm getting from staff now. LOL

I forgot to mention, because of the way the OLD SEARCH worked, I never had to remove my hand from the mouse, EVEN WHEN TYPING THE NAME OF A GAME IN THE SEARCH. Why? Because I could just use “Hunt and Peck” with my left hand (And using your example of SKYRIM) could type S, then K, and only games that have SK together would show, then type Y, and only games with SKY would show etc. I would always get the game I was searching for within 3-4 letters, without ever removing my hand from the mouse. These changes have tied a cement block to any efficiency there used to be. and has adde extra clkicks, extra pop-ups and pages, extra scrolling etc The antithesis of Efficient and Convenient. And more along the lines of Bloated, poorly Implemented and Poorly though out.

Taking my hand off the mouse to type in the name of a game is a GIVEN. Having to take my hand off the mouse to open a search, is an entirely different thing, but I appreciate the False Equivalency.

So now, I have to take my hand off the mouse in order to hit / Before, all I had to do was start typing the name of the game, without a useless pop-up window blocking the entire site. This change has just made everything less efficient, and I can tell by your responses, that you're just “champing at the bit” attempting to lock the thread, because you're not even pretending to play “Good cop” anymore and caring about hearing our opinions.

WHY isn't number 1 being changed? It looks absolutely ridiculous and is a serious waste of space. Why all the unnecessary scrolling? Is this site getting paid “By the mile” now? It's NEWS, why not have all the articles available to see on one screen? Now it's three MASSIVE TILES then just the TOP HALF of the next row, and then you have to scroll down to Discover that there are two more news stories after that. An information part of a website should have all the information EASILY ACCESSIBLE, instead of being on huge goofy tiles that only lets you fully see THREE of the eight articles at any given time. I fail to understand the thinking behind that decision. It's insane. It would be like making a Spreadsheet in EXCEL, but changing the size of all the cells on the spreadsheet so they're the size of Postcards. Turn that spreadsheet in to your Boss during a big budget meeting and see how fast you're laughed out of the meeting and fired. To address 3. After you clicked on the “View all 'n' Games” button, you used to go to a screen with ALL the games, with SMALL tiles, and there was a Search Bar, if you started typing in the name of the game, the page would adapt and change with what you typed in (Just like the old (and superior quick search)) used to do. INSTEAD, you are brought to yet another worthless pop-up screen and have to type in the name of the game AND click APPLY. RECAP: Old way: 1. click “View all x Games", 2. star typing in the name of the game, results show up instantly, 3. click on game. New “and “Efficient” way: 1. Click “View all x games”, 2. useless Search Window pops up, obfuscating the page you're on. 3. Type in the name of the game, 4. CLICK ON APPLY. One more step added to all that, and that's not even considering all the checkboxes. I'm not sure who has the “Pop-up window and adding extra clicks” fetish, but they should probably get treated for that, because the site just got much slower and inefficient to use.

1. Did you see my post, with screenshot) about how ridiculously overlarge the News page is? The screenshot is from a full 1920×1080 full-screen monitor. I can only see THREE full news tiles, 3 HALF Tiles, and have to scroll down to see the remaining 2 tiles. There are EIGHT news stories, I can see THREE and A HALF of them, because the tiles are so comically HUGE. There's absolutely no need for that, the old site you could see every single news story at one glance. What is the purpose of making these tiles so insanely MASSIVE? See “Goofy Tiles.jpg” below) 2. The ability to switch between GRID and LIST view. Other Websites have it, and there's no reason for this site not have that ability, unless the design team is incapable of implementing it. (See GOG sorting.jpg below) 3. My third bullet point and that my first two bullet points were never even acknowledge to exist in the first place, so every time, you Cms kept asking for “Detailed Posts”, people would post detailed posts, and then CMs would come in here, and respond to the posts that contained ONE OR TWO SENTENCES instead. Like Intentional Slights to the people they asked for detailed posts, and provided screenshots and a lengthy description, and then the posts were completely ignored, and the two sentence post that came right before of after the post was answered instead. Yea, not getting a good feeling of ANY Feedback being listened to. Like a scene of somebody at a party with their hand out waiting to shake hands, and the host walks right past them and greets a different guest instead. That's how the responses have felt from the CMs in here. Why go through all the work of making a lengthy DETAILED post including screenshots, when their existence isn't even acknowledged. The only HINT I've gotten that my lengthy post with screenshots was at least seen (but not read0< was your current mention of posts being “Copied and Pasted”, which seems to imply my particular posts that included screenshots, that were never even acknowledged to exist, but was used an example of WHY you're planning on locking the thread. Just tried the main screen where you click "SEARCH ALL OUR GAMES" Now THAT also opens a window and instead of just typing in the name of the game and having the results automatically change to what's typed in the search box, you now type in the name of the game, and have to click APPLY. WHAT'S WITH ALL THE EXTRA CLICKING NOW???? Stuff that could be sone with ZERO CLICKS, now require 1-3 clicks. How is that EFFICIENT and an IMPROVEMENT???

My major concern? That this update is just like every single update in the past where the Nexus makes it sound like we have a voice, in these matters, and even say that there was a “poll”, and that every single time, it's always a cadre of people who never participate on the website, are the ones who mysteriously knew about the poll and filled it FULL of POSITIVE COMMENTS and REVIEWS. That's how it goes with every single update. That's why that famous Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy Scene about the “Plans being on display” gets posted In every single one of these UPDATE Announcement threads. Because the invisible polls are just used as an excuse to go forward with extremely unpopular changes that make the site look WORSE, and that completely kill any productivity, IE, the useless POP-UP search window that took a very fast functional way to work, and turned it into a comical CLICK-FEST that doesn't need to be. It ALWAYS boils down to these “feedback” threads ending in: “We're going to do it this way no matter what you people want, and no matter the points you've made, because WE want the change, so be quiet, and sit down, because this change is happening whether you like it or not. Now, if any of you keep talking about it, we're just going to start deleting posts, locking threads, and banning people” Just like the Great Purge of Mod Authors and Users back when Collections were forced on us, you know, those things that NOBODY liked, but once again, we were told that there was some Poll where the Response was “Overwhelmingly Positive”. It's always cool to see people who don't make mods, making more DP from collections by using other people's hard work, than the modders themselves. So, once again, for the Nth time, it's been the same old song and dance. 1. Announce a Beta test of “Possible” changes/updates 2. Start a feedback thread 3. See all the overwhelmingly negative feedback 4. Tell everybody there were polls (That nobody could see, and that the ALL the Feedback was POSITIVE™ 5. Start threatening to delete posts, lock threads and ban people 6. Go ahead with the changes anyway, no mater how negative the actual, real feedback was 7. Go to step 1. I've been here since this site started back in 2003 for Morrowind Modding, this is the Standard Operating Procedure for how Changes are presented and brought about. It's never changed. It ALWAYS goes this way, EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

That BIG BLUE BANNER said NOTHING about any POLLS Where were those hidden? Seriously us old timers have seen this story several times before

Don't engage with this person, they have a long history of getting people banned by antagonizing everybody. If you notice, ALL of their posts in this thread are aimed at only attacking other users for having an opinion about Nexus that they don't like.

Never saw it, because I'm rarely on the MAIN Site, I go to a game page, and stay on that page. Never saw a BANNER for the POLL, letting people know there was a poll, either. The only reason to let people know about a poll, ONLY ON THE MAIN PAGE, instead of EVERY PAGE, is to make sure only some people see the poll. You have never addressed my post detailing Quick Search, you only keep responding to my very short posts while skipping over the detailed posts you ask for.

I use Right-Click “Open in new tab” to open in a new tab. I do use the wheel for scrolling, it can scroll AND be set to Double-Click. It requires rolling the wheel, the other requires pressing down on the wheel. I even had a mouse where you could not only roll the wheel to scroll, and click the wheel to double-click, but could also tilt the wheel side to side and use it as “Forward” and “Back” in your browser or OS. But, I'm sure you're right, and that THOUSANDS of users use it as a middle click, probably the same ones who love the new UI, whoever they are. Maybe run a poll about it.

Still no response t my DETAILED POST, with Screenshots and explanations, that I posted the link to three times now.
