Mod Browsing Overhaul Discussion

[WileCoyote68]

I'm beginning to be surprised by the statement that the feedback during the beta tests was predominantly positive. If you take this thread as a yardstick, that can't be entirely true. The feedback here is mostly negative.

Normally I'm a fan of innovations but I like the old design a thousand times better.
It was very good, clear and easy to use. Who wanted this change?
I would be happy if there is an option to keep the old version, at least until your revision makes sense.

You cannot compare it.

If you say, the audience was equal before and after the beta then you must measure if in both phases the audience knew there is a topic open for discussion. Then you must measure if in both phases the audience has equal perception and motivation to jump on the train and start to give feedback. Impossible...

Now that everyone can see the beta everyone must use it. Obviously only people complaining will be part of the discussion before most (probably) didnt know about it (beta a forum discussion), didnt use the beta gave a ****.

If you want to compare still gather all the pros and cons or the good and bad comments from individuals per this thread and you can vaguely know if what you say is true.

The majority of people will in the majority of cases never complain. Since the momentum to generate energy is very subjective and most people conserve their energy for much more important tasks ... gaining money. After the day most people are exhausted and give a ****.

The "Default sorting option" setting in site preferences no longer works as a result of this update (I have it set to "last updated", but all search results show as "most endorsed"). Additionally it should be set to "most recent files" by default since "most endorsed" often contains obsolete mods (see New Vegas' page for a prime example of this).

Wow, this update is terrible. They need to go back to the previous UI design. Also,  maybe work on fixing and reimplementing the comment section's search feature.

Was this optimized for phones? It looks optimized for phones. I only mod Bethesda games, and despite Todd's best efforts, I'm not playing Skyrim on my phone, let alone modding it there. It also feels like the new UI made the tiles bigger, but somehow has more blank space around them, which is not great on a PC monitor.

The new layout is terrible and hard to navigate and I prefer the previous layout, that's all I have to say.

I can't agree. You are one of those ppl who talk themselves up about everything. In functional terms, the new design is an absolute step backwards compared to the previous one. I don't see any innovation

There were probably a bunch of people opting out of the beta immediately, not knowing there was a place to discuss it, let alone a poll. Polls in itself aren't exempt from scrutiny either, since you can ask generic ratings questions or leading questions that'll get you more favorable responses... but I left the beta as soon as possible, wasn't made aware I could voice my opinion, so I don't know what kind of questions were asked in the poll.
