kyeaxford1 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 You know now that I think about it this discussion post is pretty much useless. Unless the devs say that will consider reverting if they get enough response which I very much doubt they will all this is just a place for people to come and vent about the awful update. There's a chance that the devs might listen about some bugs and stuff but at the end of day does anyone really think that the devs will actually revert the design or give us an option to switch back? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting fact: This can really happen due to a medical condition. So... yeah, it's pretty good to define what I think of the UI. As it is, I can't browse the site without getting headaches. Nexus is dead for me until this changes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate, but, likely rather accurate...... Nexus pretty much is THE site for mods, and Robin knows that. Even if a new site sprang up today, Nexus are far too well established to even be remotely worried about 'competition'...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitchfinder Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 6 hours ago, JustThatKing said: We've been speaking to the design team about the levels of contrast introduced to make some adjustments and setting contrast rules in our design system that hopefully help with the contrast issues you are having with the site. How does this screenshot look to you? This is an example of the highest contrast we are trying at the moment (14:1), so this screenshot is testing that (which would be the maximum contrast in the UI. Although it may be lower contrast in the final design, as long as it's above 7:1. Do you think this will help with your problems? The "New" button immediately draws my eye. It is bright, large, and on a dark background and as a result the brightness is emphasized to the point where it was the only thing in the screenshot that I could see while scrolling the page. I imagine that if I had a migraine I'd have closed the page immediately and stepped away from my computer, but luckily I don't have one at the moment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdDante34 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 2 hours ago, HadToRegister said: Something I experienced last night when trying to publish a mod. When it was time to fill out the text in the backend for a mod description, I had to squint, and lean forward so far, my nose was almost touching my screen, I literally had to use a magnifying glass because SUPER WHITE TEXT BACKGROUND with "Wafer Thin" Slightly GRAY TEXT, looks like something out of a MySpace Page, where the kid set a Chartreuse Background with Yellow Text on it. It was almost unreadable, and was extremely difficult for me to see if I had made any spelling errors, because at my age, I'm starting to jumble the spelling of words quite a LOT now, and my eyesight is going to hell as well. Also, as someone mentioned earlier, please have the default destination tab be the DESCRIPTION PAGE when somebody clicks on the mod link from the search page. You can often find in any random mod comment section where people are asking “What does this mod do?”, “How do I install it?” with those questions often sitting directly underneath a STICKY of what that mod does and how to install it, along with a detailed Description page with that information as well. Sending people to the Description Tab will encourage at least some percentage of people to read the Mod Description and any install instructions. At least try to encourage people to read the mod description by sending to that Tab first, instead of the FILES tab. Also, I would like to suggest making the REQUIRED section of the mod page, much clearer in its intent. I've seen people who clearly do not understand how the REQUIREMENT section of the page works, and they will leave comments like “LMAO no way I'm installing this mod, it has WAY TOO MANY REQUIREMENTS”, when in fact, they were looking at the section of the REQUIREMENT section, that just tells them what other Mods, Require THAT mod. SO some people are looking at that section completely wrong, and skipping over some great mods, because they don't understand the Requirement section. For some reason, users aren't 'getting' the difference between “NEXUS REQUIREMENTS” and “MODS REQUIRING THIS FILE” sections. I haven't uploaded anything since the new UI rolled out. If that's what I'm going to have to deal with from now on, I won't be uploading anything else if I have to strain my eyes that much just to type out a mod description. That's absolutely ridiculous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But something probably needs to happen, that will wake the devs up from their delusions. Since they claim things but dont actually post any untampered evidence to back it up. Its a sad day for majority of the users and community on this matter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JobiWanUK Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I'd really love to see some evidence of positive comments about the update other than 'trust me bro'. I've read every comment on the 158 pages here so far, hardly anyone has anything good to say about it. And it's not just 'I don't like it' - there are lots of actual reasons stated. Reddit Nexus Mods sub and Skyrimmods subs have mostly negative comments with hardly anything positive. Nexus' X account posts things and a lot of replies are complaints about the UI. Where are all the 'overwhelmingly positive' comments? 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this thread isn't enough, I am not sure what would be....... Here we are on the forums of the site in question, and the response has been universally negative. In the 33 pages I have been watching this thread, (and participating...) I have YET to see ONE person say they like/prefer the new layout over the old..... Yet staff would have us believe the response has been 'overwhelmingly positive'????? Really???? I find that rather difficult to accept.... given the results I am seeing here...... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arictheana Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Lol they literally stopped people from using scripts to get the old site back. That's how petty they are. I'm pretty sure if a new site popped up that was similar to the old UI, people would navigate. Changing the UI is one thing. Being narcissistic, petty, and refusing to listen to the feedback of the majority? For being 'only a team of 30 devs', that can't find a UI toggle "feasible", but can jack up the whole UI against the feedback of the majority of the users, even a 'less established' site is looking better and better. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 35 minutes ago, HeyYou said: I rather like the idea of making this a CHOICE, and allowing those that want to, to revert back to the 'old' interface. After all, aren't 'updates' supposed to imply 'improvement'??? From where I am sitting, the only folks that seem to think the new one is better, are nexus staff....... The users seem to be universally panning it. Granted, I am sure Robin doesn't wanna flush all that development money down the toilet..... and supporting two interfaces can be complex....... But, it is obvious to me, this is what 'the people' want..... you know, the folks that actually SUPPORT this site. That's what I thought the BETA test was for, but they always just seem to ignore the feedback, and claim it was all positive and go with the change anyway, which is EXACTLY why I didn't participate in it, because I knew it was going to be pointless, For me, BETA on this site, actually means “PREVIEW”, and “COMING SOON.” Always has, and for the foreseeable future, Always will. I've seen it a number of times since 2008. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
