We really appreciate focused criticism as it's easier to action if needed. For example, saying "I don't like it", or "It's ugly" is fine and a completely valid opinion, but it's more helpful to us If you can point to something specific you find harder to do. We've read all the responses in this thread and there are many improvements we want to make — with this update we're in a much better place to make incremental refinements more quickly. Expand one of my responses as far as I know never got approved like 5 pages back or so. it was me actually praising the new color scheme. as that is quite literally the only aspect I do like. but my reason for liking it is niche and too small a group to be considered in actual feedback. I have an old eye injury that makes me highly photosensitive. the new colors cause no monitor brightening and thus no pain. however that is largely the only thing in this entire update I have liked. I don't want my pc mod site looking like a tablet. I had to spend 20 minutes refinding everything so I could use it. my normal lighting quick use of the site after a decade of practice and patronship has been cut in half. all in all its a really bad design on multiple fronts. fully quantifying every little thing that makes it bad. would take me hours of analyzing the new design for you. and it would be almost exclusively purely negative. Simply put folks you gave it a good effort. But you took an L this time. Hold your heads up, go back to the drawing board. You have an infinite amount of chances to nail it. So long as you don't piss off the community enough to just migrate at their first chance. Nexus is a work horse. Its been here forever and is well established. Don't lose that userbase for the sake of ego. Show some humility, and make it right. Edited March 26 by tpunk23 A P didn't type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, sorting by "Last Updated" doesn't actually sort by last updated. Nothing sorts as it should, it just displays a random order of things. There's less info visible, there's a lot of space in between every entry. In my opinion, it looks like an off-brand Yu-Gi-Oh game. I wouldn't have come here if sorting actually functioned to the point where it's not just so useless that I might as well manually scroll through a full list of all the mods for one given game and look at all the stats myself. To be clear, that is exactly what I am doing right now - I am literally scrolling through a list of random mods with no other option. Sorting is completely broken. The decision to create an 'include/exclude' tag selection dropdown menu is nice, though. That's all I can say. Expand Hey @deadhitter1, thanks for the feedback. Can you show us where the sorting is broken pls? We've had a couple of people thinking the 'updated' date on the mod tile (in the image below) is the 'uploaded date'. When you're sorting by 'Last updated', it should be sorting by the date on the left (ie 4 minutes ago). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to use the current search/filter is very much an unpleasant experience with how it keeps resetting if you want to spend more than 10 minutes looking for stuff. (I know this is being worked on) Expand @xRay4004 can you explain in a more detail what you mean here pls. Do you mean on the quick search, or the mods listing page?

Although it's not exactly about the mod pages, it does relate to the home page with all the info graphics on. The little images are mostly absolutely fine but what sticks in my professional craw is the words that are split onto two lines: INTERVI EW No no no! I was always told that splitting a word like this is bad form. Every time I see this, I cringe. It looks bad and unprofessional. Better to make the word smaller and fit it into one line, really. Maybe I'm old-fashioned (I am old after all!) but please, stop splitting title words into those two lines. Please don't see this as trolling, I really just hate it though. Two words, two lines is fine. One word split onto two lines, bad. AlienSlof PS - loving being purple! It's my fave colour! Expand They should at least split it at its natural splitting point, INTER VIEW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpool0600 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 How's it going here now? Things getting worse or better? We still hate the new UI btw. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you search for something and set to sort by date and then search for something else it resets to endorsement.Same goes for if you just want to filter "mods". I remember this being addressed by staff earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand There is that at least. Would go a long way to alleviate the other extremely questionable design choices. You do realize that the Nexus, as it currently is, is basically a dark-mode copy of Bethesda's mod site right? I shared a pic comparing them both, some pages back. Nearly identical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If I understand you correctly, do you mean your search preferences in settings don't match the search results? If so, we're pushing an update soon to fix that — your sorting preferences will carry through to the quick search and full search results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything in particular that stood out? Expand Firstly the UI of the mod pages for a start, that keeps getting ignored from you all. the old colors, design and more. it is way too minimalistic. Change it back to the old UI or at least give people options to customize it to look nearly like the old ones. Or is my statements that is shared by many going to be just ignored again? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
