Mod Browsing Overhaul Discussion

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.

They said that the hotjar polls maxed out the number of responses.  So clearly people were seeing it.

So unless you're going to claim a correlation between "people who hate the new site" and "people who have adblockers that prevented them from seeing the hotjar poll" then there is no reason to believe the hotjar polls were skewed in any way.

Yes, I remember seeing a pop-up on the first day or so when the Beta was launched. It covered 3/4 of my screen asking whether I liked the new interface... what interface? I could see nothing because of the poll. I then hovered my mouse over it wondering what to do, but before I could click anything, it vanished. Then I saw the GUI, but the poll was already gone so I could not give it the zero stars that it deserved! I wonder what the default answer was?

Personally I'd say the correlation is closer to "people who are tech savvy enough to use basic protection in web browsing" and "people who didn't answer a poll hosted by a service that exists to gather their data for advertising purposes", but we both know you weren't going to give this discussion anything resembling a fair response so why bother with the pretenses?

Edit: Seriously. By using Hotjar for their data gathering they basically admitted that their data is skewed towards people whose browsers would have looked like this twenty years ago:

Oh look another overhaul that's geared towards tablet and mobile users

Except most users of this site are using a desktop and unused blank space is cancer

"Drab Gray"

That is the new site color theme. Everywhere.

Just like IRL!

"Thank" you so much for destroying one of the last websites I actually enjoyed coming to.

I'm so glad I didn't actually pay money for a premium membership.

I NEVER got a POP-UP of a Poll, even on the very first day when the BETA BANNER showed up.
And I check Nexus at least once a day, I keep it open in one of my tabs at all times, because there's a major mod update going on for No Man's Sky.

I, and other people have used that Douglas Adams excerpt about “The plans being on display”, quite a few times, and we always have posted it, whenever they've made a change people don't like, and they always tell us, “THERE WAS A POLL and the Response was overwhelmingly positive”, while a large number of us, end up asking “WHAT POLL?” "WHERE WAS THE POLL?"

Just another thing that HAPPENS.EVERY.TIME.

This is Standard Operating Procedure at this point.

And what does that have to do with whether or not they liked/disliked the new UI?

Are you simply dismissing the opinion of anyone who doesn't meet your standard of "web security awareness"?

And, if so, why are you then claiming that the people who answered the poll must have also been giving negative feedback and the Nexus staff are lying about it?

Regardless of your opinion of the poll site, Nexus Mods collected the number of responses they wanted and they say that the majority of those responses were positive.  Either accept that or call them liars to their faces.

Anyway, moving on from the irrelevant argument for the sake of argument by someone who isn't contributing in the slightest to the actual discussions here.

I have a complaint about the new site theme. Why is the site delivering the minimum size icon now? Even the forum is delivering a larger icon than the site does:
