New Forum Feedback

Ok.  But then what happened to my previous friends list?  Is it just gone?  At least migrate it as "followers" then.  Friends were removed from the main site, as well.

So many functionalities seem to have been removed without alternative means to fill their role. Like the About section on profiles.

You can update it fine on the forum side, but not on the mod side--since they no longer communicate, what's currently on the mod-side will remain frozen in place until we have a way to edit them again. I mainly use my About section as a notification center for when I post mod or mod-related article updates, so this is a bit frustrating. Before Picky responded to my thread the other day, I was holding out hope that there was still some way (even if delayed) that the information could be transferred, but it sounds like the mod-side has been completely marooned.

I may have missed this, since I can't find a "Search in this Topic" one but a bit of feedback that may also be something other people have noticed.

I can't tell what is "Read" and "Unread" quickly anymore as all the topics are bold.

 

Though personal one, I find the larger fonts a bit over the top, any chance of having some layout options to shrink, etc.

Still not bad for a modern layout, if a bit "big" on my monitor (19.5in 1920x1080)

"Read" and "unread" is indicated by the highlighting/dulling of the icon, not by the bolding/non-bolding of the topics now.

Which reminds me, can the icon for the Vortex support forum be given an orange circle background so that it stands out more when it has unread posts?

Also, can someone give "NexusSiteBot" a sense of humor?  I miss the sass and sarcasm in the "Forum Warnings and Bans" threads.

So, these don't seem to have changed for a few days now.  I assume that's not correct?

What's the point of having a Fallout 4 "discussion" forum and a Fallout 4 "discussion" community?

All it seems to do is have a bunch of posts in the community that don't show up in the forums, so you can't see if there are new posts or not.   Frankly, it seems like an entirely negative thing to split the discussion in that way.

i think its the theme thats being used - i agree its not at all obvious - over time i'll get used to it but the shading is not at all clear. it could, and perhaps should, be a bit more in your face. are there plans to offer different themes, or, even, offer user-based customisation of certain fonts, colours and the likes?

this x 100000

i have absolutely no idea how/why there's a forum and a community. its an unnecessary divide that just obfuscates stuff. why do communities exist and why are they separate to the long established forum, and what are the benefits?

[HadToRegister]

One thing (just a tiny detail) that I'd like to see reverted/changed is (I forget the name of this), the Icon that shows up in the browser Tab used to be unique to the Forums, and different from the Game Mods Sections, which made it really easy to know which tab was the Forum, and which tab(s) were the Game Mods Tabs, now the Browser tab icon for the forum is the same as the game mods section, which, if you have a few Nexus tabs open, it's impossible to tell which one is the Forum tab now.

Also, is there any way to change the size of the Forum? Some of it seems really IN YOUR FACE now, like I'm majorly zoomed in. I know I can use the CTRL+Mouse wheel to set the size in my browser, but I'm wondering if there are any user settings that can be made?

Also, I've lost over 7K posts in my post count. Where did they go?

[showler]

I have a suspicion, no proof just a suspicion, that posts that were deleted (either a thread got completely nuked or cleaned up by moderators) did not get counted when the post counts were re-counted for the new forum.  I think my count went down by 800-1000 posts at least.

I can't seem to find how to access Mods comments in forum format anymore ?

Is it gone altogether ?
