Mod Browsing Overhaul Discussion

[showler]

That is really weird.  Two of you have Premium and therefore have the option to select how many items display per page, but one of you doesn't.   My tiles are definitely wider and display the information better than yours, even when I'm zoomed out.

Haha, just clicked on an updated mod notification and got a popup "failed to mark notification as read" or something like that. And indeed it failed

There were a couple of users with the same problem earlier in this thread (last week or so), but I don't remember what the cause was lol, not necessarily an extension.

I believe I saw mention of an older browser due to being on a no-longer-supported OS, but without more information it wouldn't be accurate to assume this applies to everyone who shows screenshots of the issue.

Yeah, I'm on Windows 7. Okay, let's say that's the case. Then how can I see screenshots of mods without going to their page? There used to be such a function.

That option has been removed, I believe, though it is one of the ones most frequently asked to be brought back.

There used to be a LOT of 'such functions' that don't show anymore, not sure why, it makes the site even harder to navigate

If you adjust your text size above 100% in Accessibility and/or your Display size, then your browser will accommodate that and show text and display larger.  Same with increasing size of browser.  That is what is causing the descriptions to appear incomplete.

Return all sizing to 100%, then the descriptions are complete.

I raised a point a year ago that modders who actually have to use the site extensively, to relay the details of their mods to the user via this platform maybe should have a bit more of a say in the UI and utility of the site. Especially, as it appeared more modders had issues/complaints over non-modders in last years feedback thread.

My example/scenario was when I make mods, I utilize the mod pages and articles to detail pretty much every change, possible conflicts, etc. This results in me staring at the editor for hours a day for perhaps several days depending on the mod. My concern last year was that the "easy on the eyes grey" would be replaced my the ark of the covenant and my eyes and face would melt XD

A casual user or mobile user may never get the adverse effects of high contrast (or notice the wasted space/oversized UI) or even use the site as much as other users, why is their vote so much more important/valuable (for the devs to double down on their feedback/poll results for argument sake) than the vocal minority? I think it is more important to address actual modders' feedback, and the users willing to be vocal (/fighting to be heard) vs. a user who may have voted and may never: care, vote again or act if the changes are kept or not. But that is me.

But the UI did change in regards to this compliant specifically.  I was one of the big complainers on that issue.  The description page area went from Black Hole Black to grey.  And even the forum area where users type dropped the Black Hole color to a milder grey-black.

As already mentioned by myself and other users, it did improve slightly compared to original release but is still not at an ideal level. And to my knowledge the profile "about me" page and it's editor is still very blackhole.

edit: And to reiterate new complaints of those unaware it was worse a year ago—confirm it is still at too high of a contrast. I am pleased that I was apart of what improved slightly from last year but I(/and others) was(/were) hardly satisfied we just didn't have the numbers a year ago to keep pressing. So I felt my complaints, feedback and the changes that were made were a small improvement yes, but I still left the site.

Has “Kudos” gone the way of the Dinosaurs as well?

Has it been replaced by “Reputation”? Or has it just been moved somewhere where I can't find it?
Do I need a flashlight?
Will I see a “Beware of Leopard” sign?
