HollownessDevoured Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) If the old Nexus UI/set up was similar to the old wiki/fandom platform (before they updated to UCP) the issue was the site was so out of date it was held together with duct tape and prayers. There was a lot of push back on that update too, and they/we still didn't get back a lot of better/preferred features. But in that case they were just held to the mercy of on out of date MediaWiki, they just had to eventually use an updated version or eventually it would have fallen apart. But as users/editors we didn't see that. To that affect I understand and accept updates/"upgrades" are required. But this doesn't excuse basic and repeated pressed issues that can be changed: such as same colour scheme (that can be cloned even users are cloning it themselves with extension), and doesn't explain the wasted space and the lost of the fifth tile (and the extra clicks are annoying, generally, anywhere). Some of these issues would appease a lot of people (if fixed) till they work out the bugs and issues to try to make the update as good as or at par with the previous. In regards to the silent majority/indifferent/sample size polling consider this... This is a user created content site in a way similar to fandom wikis, generally, each of those wikis are run by editors and vocal minority, as the silent majority tends to be indifferent or silent. As vocal minorities generally are the content creators/editors and their say has weight. I think this is something people here on nexus are having difficulty with, that their say has no weight and some being modders who may be generating 10s of thousands or 100s of thousands unique views (on their mod pages), should they really only be dismissed because they are the 0.0001% user base? As well as a premium user who pays, may want to have more say than a rando viewer who got the poll. Late Feb I saw, despite me leaving nexus and only being a modder for a 15 year old game and only active for about 2 years, managed to get free premium aka 30k unique downloads (I haven't redeemed because I technically left nexus (but here for feedback talks) because of this update but from last year's start of the theme implementation). To me that is pretty decent considering it is an old game and only 2ish years of sporadic work. On the scale I am a small/micro beans content creator/modder who is basically inactive/gone, but imagine modders who are modding for newer games and have more activity, it seems like a kick in the teeth to say to them "you are only the the 0.0001% user base".

Raven1417 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 @Demorphic @JustThatKing @Happybara Hi guys, tagging again as you seem to keep dodging these questions. If you're not qualified to answer them that's fine but can you please tag or identify which member of the Nexus staff can. Cheers lads! 1. Why make a major overhaul to a site without having a functioning backup of the original? (If this isn't the case then Nexus staff are lying/misleading users about why restoring the old site isn't possible.) 2. Why push ahead with a major overhaul if the team working on it aren't experienced enough to ensure that accessibility and features would at the very least be relatively on par with the previous site? To add, how is the site now WCAG compliant yet seeing a greater number of accessibility issues being reported? 3. Some staff have mentioned "other looks" that might be available down the track while also saying the old look will never return. Please explain why there would be time and resources put towards making whole new looks for the site but no effort to recreate the one that users actually want? 4. No one outside of Nexus staff finds your polling to be even remotely adequate and the lack of transparency on your polling only adds to that doubt because Nexus clearly missed getting feedback from the vast majority of users including heavy/powers users of the site. So will Nexus actually commit to a far more transparent and better advertised poll on here, Reddit and other social media channels to get a better picture of user feedback on the issue that the community can also see? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's under 0.0001% of our average monthly userbase. Whilst we are taking feedback from here, that does not mean that we will completely disregard all of the data we have collected or make decisions solely based on the opinions put in this thread, as we've said since the very beginning of the beta. Expand Basically corpo here is saying that they will completely ignore any opinions posted here, because the little voices in their head like the new look even though real people that actually use the site despise it. This magical "data", that doesn't really exist, has told them that making their site look like a dollar-store mobile game website is actually good. Such blatant disrespect towards your users, honestly baffling. I'd be less offended if they had just insulted me to my face. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCotton Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) So I came to the forum for the first time ever just to ask this. Why exactly was there a giant green banner visible on every page of this website all day today to advertise an April Fools joke, but there was no giant green banner visible on every page advertising the survey on the users opinions about the new UI? I would very much have liked to get an opportunity to give my feedback and opinion about the redesign, but I still have not been presented with any option to take this survey that supposedly exists Edited April 2 by TheCotton context as to why this is my first post 9 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
