Mod Browsing Overhaul Discussion

[Vylkodav]

Opening a mod page with the new updated style on Google Chrome is causing my entire system to stutter (browsing a category or forum is fine).
And no it's not a system issues, there is not stress on resources (RAM/CPU/GPU), it just makes everything stutter.
Tried on Edge and it's smooth.

Tried turning all extensions off and updating still stuttering.

I'm trying to upload a mod. Despite a new interface, you STILL haven't fixed the indexing bug where you have to wait 15 minutes and it keeps telling you don't have permission to upload a mod and that it's unpublished. This has been going on for months.

Also, when trying to opt the mod into DP, I get told 'you don't have any mods'.

Pretty poor all round.

If you're on Firefox, you can stuff it into a UserContent.css file (there're a couple more steps to enable using it, IIRC, though). That way only specific sites are affected and you don't have to download another extension.

update: installed Stylus. 1. Open nexusmods. 2. Open LummoxJR's github page in a new tab (just copy the style from the css page). 3. In the Nexus tab click the Stylus icon and in the drop-down menu choose "create style for" (click on the nexus address). 4. You'll be taken to a new tab - erase all code there and past LummoxJR's code. 5. Click 'Save' on the left. Enjoy!

Worked like a charm.....Thank You !!

If you mean my styles, I'm not sure why they would cause stuttering; all they're doing is altering the styles in the stylesheet and making relatively small changes, nothing that should conceivably cause churn.

Whether it's my styles or the default, though, the fact that it doesn't happen for you in Edge (which is built on the same engine) or that it happens with extensions off suggests Chrome itself is having an issue, unrelated to anything about the styles.

This new search bar feature is horrible and the old one is far superior.

This new one:

• Blocks your view of the page you are on.
• Forces you to the main mods page if you click "Show more", booting you out of the page you were on.
• Looks very bubbly and off-putting. (Modern "Bubble" UIs in general suck)

The old one:

• Lets you look through every single mod under a word.
• Leaves you able to see the page you are on still (Great for seeing what you are trying to spell).
• Is very sleek and sexy.

Please stop reinverting the wheel, the UI was fine and worked perfectly.

The new colors hurt my eyes. The old colors were better, because they allowed you to differentiate and werent as saturated/contrasted.

this is incredibly true.. I hate how I am just blinded, and this new menu pop up blocks my entire view and forces me back up to the top of the page. I don't know why they or whoever did this even had to change this. Who the hell is this even bothering this much to make an entire new menu? If it works, why change it? 

I don't get why you need an entire new menu just to find mods when you could easily just hit enter and look at more mods.
You really should have just made a "show more" button or "open in new tab" button that allowed you to open it in a new tab and the process even becomes easier to find a mod now that you have a full tab to it or a show more button which then opens up this new menu or whatever you call it to find the mod without opening a new page.
I think that was the actual goal from the start but instead you just completely removed and replaced this entire VERY QUICK and easy search bar with a very much more inconvenient one. 

And while we're on the topic of site changes, please give us a dark mode for the site that is just blacked out backgrounds and extreme dark mode.

It's ugly as hell. You attempted to fix something that wasn't broken.

Adding my +1 to all the recent complaints here. Need the option to switch back to the old style ASAP thanks.

Just want to point out that this particular thing is a bug, and we're aware of it. Hopefully, it'll get fixed soon.
