authorpendragon Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I am not a fan of the Beta Design. It feels like it is built for mobile phones and tablets. But most people game on laptops and desktops. I keep having to reselect the game and mod section every time I want to use the search function. The layout of the search function in general has become more difficult to use and clutters the screen with a bunch of junk I don't care about. I don't want to see collections and screenshots and game lists when I'm searching for a mod, and I don't want to use more clicks to get to the same places I did with the old layout. Don't dare to try and use Ctrl to open something in a new tab, because it now pops up the search bar unless you have clicked on the empty space of the webpage. It looks really nice, but it doesn't feel nice. Feels like they took the Bethesda mod page and painted it with Nexus colors, and Bethesda mod page is a nightmare to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like it's been designed by people who've never experienced RSI. I envy you, people! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilietBorodina Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Classic still just looks better. The colors, the lack of the weird blue gradient, the picture in the background. I like the interface improvements by and large, but the aesthetics are still worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more fletched out the description is, the more details are given, the better it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlestar1965 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 On 3/6/2025 at 2:13 PM, JustThatKing said: The Mod Browsing Beta will be closing on 10th March. Thank you for all your feedback over both the open and closed betas, which we have run across the last few months! We will begin to push those changes live on the website. To ensure that this does not cause issues that disrupt your use of the site, we will be rolling out the various changes over the next few weeks. What is changing? Updated styles across many different pages New search experience New Games page New Game Home page New Mods Listing page New Image Listing page New Video Listing page Moving all pages to the www.nexusmods.com domain. Pages will no longer be hosted on next.nexusmods.com Plus lots more! Are we stopping work on mod browsing once the rollout is complete? No. We still have some work left to do, including further improvements to the search experience and any performance improvements we deem necessary. We'll also be very carefully considering your feedback from additional HotJar surveys, the Forums and Discord. How have we been assessing your feedback? We have been using various locations to gather feedback across the forums, feedback pop-ups, Discord, other community locations, and site usage data. Here is an overview of the feedback we have received from the pop-ups. Game listing pages scored 4.4/5 (113 responses) Mod listing pages scored 4.3/5 (756 responses) Game home pages scored 4.0/5 (1,219 responses) We carefully evaluated all the feedback and made some difficult decisions about which changes to implement. In the end, our design reflects the collective input of the wider community, prioritising the features and adjustments that the majority of users wanted. Expand And i guess any negative critique will not be taken into account. Even the fact, that maybe more people are not happy about the upcoming changes. MANY OF US DON'T WANT THE DESIGN CHANGE. I do not believe you when you are saying that (Quote) "...prioritising the features and adjustments that the majority of users wanted.". I don't believe it's the majority. Keep the design, change the code if you must, but keep the design. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezeerfnif Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Is there a way to change the default on search to Mods and set the default search results sorting to something other than Endorsements? The vast majority of the time I'm looking for new mods and not videos or collections or really popular but ancient mods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NexBeth Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Custom time range for mod searches appears to be removed. Now there is only ALL, 24. 7. 14, 28, 1YR. There used to also be a range that the user could input their desired time range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haerik Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Please give users the ability to choose between old and new site designs. The new stuff is simply less usable on PC. I can't speak to its use on mobile devices. I have personally never gone to the site on one. Edited March 9 by haerik 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alundra Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Why is search not defaulting to mods it's so inconvenient! At least make it happen if I'm in the mods section or on a mod. And if I search and press enter because I hate the popup it takes me to search the entire website instead of the game I'm on and it still doesn't search mods... I hate it, change it back . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
