Not gonna lie, I thought it was by design that you intended the convenient cropping would have such results. I thought you were just being clever and cheeky XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were just being clever and cheeky XD It also breaks the animation on mine, which totally defeats the purpose. I asked Nexus to change it, but my request got missed. It's an option in the admin panel. @Pickysaurus could you guys reset the avatar display? I don't remember the name of the setting, but there's an option to turn off the circle cropping. Edit: Found it. It's under Themes. You edit the theme - Custom tab - disable Use Rounded Photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few suggestions of the "please fix" variety not even noted or addressed yet (as least that I saw and I am trying to read/keep up with the thread), for example how poorly image thumbnails are scaled/cropped in update vs. original for mods and media. I mean I have smooshed images, badly cropped images, almost none fully fill the preview anymore for my mods X / Edited March 14 by HollownessDevoured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick with the current design ?! ... - I really like to see when the mod was first uploaded and last updated! - The uploader (author) should have different (hyperlink) color to stick out better - The total size of the mod (like the old design) is still very informative and something you should keep. I must seriously ask myself what is so difficult in simply copy the old design and ask the community for what is missing and should be expanded to the old (current) design ?! ... instead of trying to re-invent the wheel.

I think the problem is the new platform, they might not be able to do a clean transfer of the style/theme, so it needs to be done manually. Sadly, for those who like the old style/theme vs. people liking the new style/theme might be too divided, and devs may never be able to get it precisely the the same but probably could make it similar-ish. With that they may want to use it as an excuse to update the look/theme instead of trying to clone. So the best we can do is hope they can implement what is needed or else were are stuck with a lot of downgrade, at the price of "oohh, looks shiny and modern" and easier on the dev/staff to maintain. In one quick sample I posted to merge the new/old together it seemed to be liked but no word by staff if it is feasible or not. I hope they can because this is going to eventually be the theme/style for the whole site. When you search are all mods are going to search like this? Imagine 3 per row for mod searching (I mean I hope it isn't, maybe it will be more). I am very apprehensive of mod pages too. I just wish they'd mention more of our concerns. I mean the forums still aren't 100% yet <---- look at my name cut off, so unprofessional looking... Is that what it is going to be the site? The update implemented and we are waiting for fixes or waiting to see if they even get addressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustThatKing Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Updated: 13/03/2024: The page has been redesigned to show more content, especially on the Mods, Collections and Media tabs. All profile details and "user actions" (track, message, etc) are now at the top of the page. Below is some of the feedback we have received and our responses to those concerns. We hope the new user profile design improves these things for you. Avatar size being stretched from 100x100 to 180x180, due to this they're super blurry. We've reduced the size to 100x100 for now. Specific dates are preferred on mod tiles (e.g. 29/01/2024) We've changed the 'Uploaded' date to be more specific. The 'Last Updated' date still displays as "2 Days Ago" as we think that's easier to read. Some mod tiles have lots of empty space between the Mod name and the details. Category, author name, etc is bound to the bottom of the mod card instead of the top, which is how it was done before and is done on most sites. Mod tile content is now bound to the top of the tile, reducing empty space. Usernames on mod tiles are upper case, but they should be case sensitive. We've fixed this. Mods are too big now and instead of showing 5 mod tiles per line we're down to 3 tiles per line. Mod tiles are now smaller and we're showing 4 per row. The authors column takes up too much space (which could be used to display more mods, collections or media) and shouldn't scroll down with content. The authors column has been removed and any content it contained is now in the header/top part of the page. Longer usernames are being pushed onto two lines. This is no longer a problem with the updated design. Page "doesn't scale well" to various "extreme" ends of display resolution. Either too much content is removed for scaling or too much "negative space" left on high res displays. The new page design addresses this and more content is now show on larger displays. Additional changes: The page will no longer automatically scroll when changing tabs 11/03/2024: Mod Tile summaries will no longer incorrectly display HTML from mod page descriptions. '"Last Active" and "Activity" sections will now respect your user settings. These settings can be found here. All staff and moderator roles should now display on User Profiles, ensuring there is no confusion as to who is Nexus Mods staff and who is not. Collections success ratings are no longer cut-off. 07/03/2024: Profile URLs now use Username rather than userID to help with search engine discoverability. E.g. https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/JustThatKing/about-me instead of https://next.nexusmods.com/users/3194960 We improved the page data for search results/social links Fixed the problem with iOS/Safari, where mods didn't display properly Improved 'Last Active' formatting by replacing "at" with "on" and adding an on-hover timestamp. Upcoming Changes: We have committed to making changes to account for many pieces of feedback that have been put forward in this thread. Here is a taster of what is still to come: UI changes to display more content on the content tabs. We will be reducing the size of the avatar, sidebar and banner as part of this change. Last remaining bits of HTML in "Mod Tile" sections will be automatically removed. Mod Tile status indicators (Downloaded, Update Available, etc) will be returning Many of the removed sorting options will be returning. In addition to this, the default sort for Mods and Media will be reverted to "Recently Added", however this will respect any changed user preferences you have made. Fixing a bug with the 'Media' section that's causing videos not to display. The revamped Activity Feed will be returning. It will/will not be shown based on your existing preferences. As we have said before, the game dropdown filter will be returning. The report button will be returning, with the ability to report Profiles for rule breaking avatars or "About Me" sections. Any previously "Upcoming" changes that have been deployed to the beta will be marked as changed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilebonymace Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 the latest changes are definitely an improvement over the first version. What i've noticed: 1) I have the top banner advertising premium, even though i've already got premium. (was logged out) 2) the spacing between the last update date and uploading date looks quite weird. i believe there should be less space between them. that's probably because the uploading date starts not from the half of the block but has a bit of space from it 3) the uploader name looks really tiny compared to the mod name, and also there's too little space between them imo. 4) the mod names are still a bit too big. making them smaller would also help with the uploader name looking tiny 5) i'd still like to see the "author" field displayed there, mostly for the cases when a mod is made by multiple authors. in fact, instead of the "author" field you could make it possible to specify other users as co-authors so that their nicknames are just displayed via ", " after the nickname of the uploader, withour a separate field 6) i'm not sure, but it may look better with a bit less space between mod cards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
