Along with: "We won’t always get things right the first time — this is an iterative process of improvements" I can confirm the date range search is being worked on. You'll be iterating for a long time if this is the starting line. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff jmharris Posted March 21 Staff Share Posted March 21 To those that were experiencing 'lag' when scrolling (aka poor rendering performance) in some browsers/configurations, I'm hoping you would've seen some improvement on that since 1800 UTC today. If you didn't, not to worry- we aren't done on improvements we can make there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonoymous Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Apparently, no single web or app UI developer ever has heard the phrase "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." I really do not see any justification for these changes other than they just felt like it, almost every change I've looked at has been a downgrade from how it performed previously. What could possibly be the reason? Mobile browsing? Who is downloading mods on their phones? Edited March 21 by Anonoymous 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOTGUN1992 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 No image preview from search, we have to visit each mod, it's like diving in a garbage can. Please bring feature of preview images back and description expand at least on cursor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I mean, The 40% "majority" as stated previously on here. Don't ask how 40% is a majority because nobody f*#@ing knows. It's whatever inverted maths they use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually: 40% of our users browse Nexus Mods on a mobile device, you're not the only user we are catering for. Whilst we always keep desktop users our focus (as modding happens on a desktop), we have to cater for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonoymous Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) 9 minutes ago, showler said: Read the first post in the thread. The first post reads as rationalization as opposed to justification, as many of the goals are either unmet or are implemented but in an objectively worse manner than the previous iteration. There is little actual reason justifying a UI overhaul in the initial post. You can make technical improvements to your infrastructure without destroying and replacing the existing UI.

kat1004 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 So are you going to address the health and accessibility issues that some of us have with this new redesign, or does that just not matter? I can't take acetaminophen or ibuprofen every time I want to download new mods, that's just not a feasible solution because sometimes my headaches get so bad that meds just don't help, and "just take medicine" isn't safe or good advice for using a website. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst we always keep desktop users our focus (as modding happens on a desktop), we have to cater for everyone. I still fail to see how that argument means replacing the UI for DESKTOP users. Mobile can, and rightfully should, have it's own UI/UX, designed specifically for it. Not some singular UI made for both. That just winds up being s#*! for everyone. So if mobile is being used as an excuse for the redesign on desktop.... that's just the wrong way of designing for mobile. (And I say this as a mobile (Android) dev.) Edit: And to elaborate, many of the design changes on DESKTOP seem to be mobile focused: - Bigger UI elements, less mods visible, each one is larger, etc. - Lots and lots more padding between the elements, almost like you're trying to make it easier to tap or something. - Very vertically oriented designed for scrolling on a portrait screen, not a landscape one. All very much signs the DESKTOP UI has be mobilified in a bad way. (Since all of those are generally a net negative for DESKTOP users.) 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
