WndMll Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Just now, Glitchfinder said: Oh right, the polls on a third party website that is automatically blocked by many ad-blockers due to its data harvesting services. That was actually a (small) point of discussion within the first few pages of this thread, was that a bunch of people couldn't even load up the polls because the entire website was getting blocked by their adblockers. I went to hotjar just to see and my adblocker immediately didn't let me in the site and I laughed out loud. 5 4

In reality the hotjar powered polls which ran during and after the beta were available to all site users. However once the quota is used up then the poll is no longer available. This of course means only limited conclusions can be drawn from the results, and we are not blind to that. WHAT POLL? All I saw was the BETA banner. Never any poll. A couple of people even posted a screenshot of the poll that was allegedly on Discord, and I couldn't find it, and there was allegedly a poll right here on the Nexus that I never saw as well. Kind of hard to give feedback on a poll that I never saw. 10
Tofke Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I'll just chime in and say I really dislike this new design. So much wasted space, less visibility of the things I'm interested in. The user: llihP described it perfectly in his previous post. Rant: I really don't get what is wrong with UI/UX designers these days. It's all about inefficient space use, making processes more cumbersome and losing clarity. /rant This new design needs a lot of work to get it to a state where its enjoyable to use. I'd say: start removing all the dead space, it really does nothing good for the site. And a suggestion: can we please have an option to hide 'Media' (and even News I'd argue) on the front page. I never understood why it needs to be there. I want to see more mods, if I want screenshots or videos for them: I go to the mod. Mods are the main product. 1
Emil8000 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I'm willing to bet the poll popup was also blocked by adblockers further skewing the results. So the data IS flawed, imagine my shock. 15
supremo7 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I see you are bringing back old features like custom date range filtering or Tracked Content Updates with the speed of light. Remind me, why did I pay you a ridiculous sum of money this year (£90.35) for premium? Clearly you've proven me that I am a moron and next year this will not happen. People used to get fired for being utterly incompetent. Sadly, we are living in a Brave New World. 4
Popular Post HadToRegister Posted March 22 Popular Post Posted March 22 “The polls have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.” “Oh yes, well, as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything.” “But the polls were on display . . .” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the polls, didn’t you?” “Yes, yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.’” 7 18
WndMll Posted March 22 Posted March 22 (edited) We need a non-popup poll, on the website, on the forums, reddit and discord. One that's in your face and straight to the point so that people don't miss it. I believe the new results that actually have more than just the few who stuck around the beta would have very telling results. Obviously BUILT-IN. It's not hard to code a poll.

Shame this is the bit that had to be relevant. 5

ortext Posted March 22 Posted March 22 2 hours ago, jmharris said: They are reading this, and reddit, and discord, and polls feedback. There have been replies from various staff on all those channels. There will be continued comms on this I am quite sure. No one at NexusMods has said 40% is more than 60%, that's nonsensical. Desktop is the focus, as that's where most of the usage comes from. Mobile users account for 40% of the site usage, and so they are also accounted for. Reading is one thing. But assuring the community and implementing the option is another. Only time will tell.. If it dosent happen. it just proves the many statements of me and many others right. But then again even if i got it right. Im just one lone long time user. 2
