User Profile and Direct Messaging Improvements Beta

I think it should still show unique downloads on the your mods tab. either added to the card, or show it on mousing over the downloads number. also the downloads numbers are not accurate when showing single digit numbers.

I find the new user profile pretty nice. The only thing I'd really change is moving the About Me section to be next to the main profile picture, above the profile views and kudos stats, though considering it's meant to be with the Activity section keeping it in its own place is probably a good idea. We'll have to see how that looks once people's activities start showing up. I saw people raise the point about every mod card showing their profile picture, and I kinda agree with them but in my case I think the smoking chimp goes pretty hard so it's not a big deal.

This might've been posted earlier in the thread (I looked through the last few pages just to make sure I wasn't raising the topic too quickly after someone else, though), but I miss the Games drop-down in the header containing "my games" and not the most popular games. Know what I mean?

Spoiler

Granted, the games I use Nexus for the most are Skyrim SE and Fallout 4, but it's still very nice to find, for example, GTA IV mods with just two clicks, and if the redesign is to be rolled out across the entire site I'd like to see the "my games" section stay there in some way. Not to mention the redundancy of having both Skyrim and Skyrim SE; while they are both the most popular game(s?) on Nexus, most people are probably playing one of the two and not both.

Going to drop a feedback about a very particular thing. Apologies in advance if it was mentioned before.

The mods in the Mods tab in the User Profile. When I look at this, it looks super cluttered. More details why below.

Specifically, this (the card UI, not the mod itself):

Current.png.b0a50ae86cf596512dc34555bb293124.png

It looks very cluttered. I struggled for a while to find out which game a mod belonged to. The upload date is right in the middle. I know that it's standard for news articles to have date right under headline/author but it just doesn't work here because there's too little space for so much info and so the date ends up right in the middle. In my opinion, it works better if the date is right under everything. This way it looks a lot cleaner, the mod name and its short description get closer together and easier to digest without the other details getting in the way.

The game the mod belongs to should also be moved to the very very top of the card with the game's nexusmods color as the background so it's very easy to tell apart between games when using All Games in User Profile.

I made a mockup in a few minutes in paintNET because I wanted to show how different it feels while having same info. The Tag and Author could probably be swapped I guess, maybe.

Mockup:

Now I don't know how it's going to look when put together in a page full of mods. Just wanted to drop my feedback here now because, to be honest, I actually got annoyed after struggling for a while to figure out where it says name of the game in those cards when All Games option is selected in Mods tab in User Profile.

I assume this current card design would be used in main page as well once that main page new design comes so I hope it gets improved before we get there because I don't like the current layout of the card UI used for mods as is now.

 

Cheers,

Arindel

Beta of User profile→User Files (or Mods as the tab is called now) is a massive downgrade in terms of information density on mobile.

Went from being able to have 4 entries on the screen (incl. short descriptions for all) to having only 1 entry with description + only the picture of the next entry on the screen.

Why do the mod pictures need to take up so much screen estate (full width too) and why do the fonts need to be so large (esp. the title of the mod and the stats at the end)?

Maybe it's a typo? Maybe you're in a band?

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead. I just need some place where I can lay my head. "Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" He just grinned and shook my hand, "no" was all he said.

But no, it's not a typo though. Looks like theGreyOlaf was banned in April 2023 but got unbanned again in January 2024. For some reason his forum profile still shows that he is banned. His Nexus profile does not. Strange. Edit: This has been fixed now.

That oblique and subtle "The Band" reference was masterfully done *Laughs*

(Okay, sorry for off topic comment. Returns television to regularly programmed schedule.)

p.s.  Well, to keep it in topic, I continue to love the direction the new profile is taking. And I love the color scheme and larger fonts and pictures especially.

p.p.s. Though I do hope eventually the Media list of users I visit can default to most recent rather than as it currently is, most viewed.

I would like to be able to keep the new way the page looks so far.  Have you anymore things to mind?

I noted that the mouse arrow nolonger allows a highlight with a link to KUDOs so we can see who gave us KUDOs.  Will that appear in the list of things we've done, like, making a friend of someone or followig a member?

Now that you have been to Nazareth once, remember, either make a reservation while you are there next, or, find another means to be able to stay longer and visit during Tourist season.  A tent might be best since the KOA Camp grounds RV spots are all reserved for a long, long time too.

LOL
