blackninja50 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 But, but we had to have a new layout! More support for phone users and people were using extensions to block the collections section, we can't have that now, can we? The older layouts were way too PC focused and allowed "gasp" widescreen users access to the site without endless scrolling! If it's not broken, fix it change for the sake of change. 3 1

I'm not arrogant enough to expect loads of comments and endorsements on every release, but most of my recent releases have hit hot files pretty quickly and drawn loads of comments. This one, not so much. Obviously, it might not be as good as my other mods and this would explain it, but I just don't feel like I'm seeing the same amount of activity, which could mean people are not finding my mod as easily as before the changes. Not having list view has certainly made me less inclined to browse new mods as scanning left to right just hurts my eyes. Expand I've used and endorsed several of your mods, but this new UI just isn't it. I'm one of those ppl who mod more than play and I'm always putting together new load orders and trying new mods out and whatnot. Well, all of that has stopped for me. The eye-strain isn't worth it and those extra clicks and scrolls really add up. I don't think it's your mod, it's this site. 8
TaranTatsuuchi Posted March 24 Posted March 24 I dislike the vertical tiling for the mods. A lot of the time the name of the mod is cut off so I can't actually read what it is because it gets cut off. I much preferred it horizontal when I could read the whole thing. 8
Grimlook33 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 i have never participated in this forum but the new UI changes are terrible. I feel obligated to complain. There is a saying "if it ain't broke, dont fix it"... it has a lot of truth to it. The color coding for different games was really good and useful, the filters, and mod browsing in general were really good. It is not usual for anyone to swap from one game page to a different game page frequently. I'f im modding skyrim, it even takes hours for me to finish what im doing, when i finally need to swap to a different game, I will easily just go to the main page and browse a different game. There is no need to have a universal search engine that clutters the UI and now has a potential to show me unwanted mods in my search bar. The visual design is bland and feels uninspired. I have read somewhere that this is for mobile browsing? The most popular games on this website are bethesda games, cyberpunk and baldurs gate, games that are not available in any mobile platform so I dont see the point. There is more clicking involved now to perform the same tasks. There is a lot of empty space everywhere. The background image was removed (why?), again, feels bland and uninspired. The old UI only needed the comment search fixed and did not really had any major flaws. Judging by the other posts here, I am not alone in my thinking, I hope these changes get reverted. Peace. 15 2
AnakinTheWeird Posted March 24 Posted March 24 I've been scrolling page after page after page on these forums and nobody likes the new UI. I think I saw one person say they liked it and it was a fresh account. 1
Destroyer5005 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 the new interface is very flat, i can't see where something starts/ends, lots of wasted space, i have to scroll down on every page to see something, i have to go to 3 different pages before i can search for something or see new mods this is annoying, horrible layout and my eyes hurt when using it 8
FrierTuck Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Love this site, been using it for years and deeply appreciate the support you all provide the communities! I do not like the new UI. Please revert the desktop version back to the old UI. 8
HoldnMgroin Posted March 24 Posted March 24 I promise you, no amount of taking notes and tweaking this new UI is going to sway ANY of the people expressing their distaste for this redesign. Please, at the very least just allow access to the old UI as an alternative. 12
sombertownDS Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Idk, the new design is ok, but i really liked the old one. it was perfect. I could see pretty much everything I wanted at a glance. and it had color! wish there was a way to, at least on a visual user end, change it back 2
