Elynsyon Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Disappointing change without a way to revert it back. Poor decision. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuestenratte Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Thanks, I hate it. Can I go back to the old design, please? And get rid of those stupid "Collections". 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwenu Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I agree with a lot of what Aether posted: "I would like to have an option to not see "Popular Collections". I feel it takes the focus away from new mods. I have never used collections before and have no intention to ever do so, that's not to say they're a bad thing, I just don't want to see them. I agree with the assertion that there is too much wasted space. The game title header takes up way too much space, I'd prefer if it wasn't even there. There is too much vertical space between sections (Trending Mods, Popular Collections, More Mods). It would also be nice if the page automatically expanded horizontally to fit the browser's width, allowing more mods to be shown in the "More Mods" section." 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwenu Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 So did this new look go live today, or did I accidentally click on 'join beta"? If I joined beta, how do I un-join? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim1the1Wizard Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Wow, I don't know if another UX update happened or I was still using the old site, but the new mods page is awful. Matte grey, no organization or lines. Just rectangles of varying sizes. Also f*#@ collections 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJanglies Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Well this is certainly...a thing. So I'm actually a (popular) collection user, but I still don't give 2 steaming craps about seeing popular collections on the front page. So I've bookmarked a different page & will be using it to skip right past the frontpage 100% of the time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idsertian Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Chucking my two bits in to say the new UI is dildos. Updating the look was just not necessary, especially not updating it to a glorified mobile site. Last I checked, I didn't download my mods for my PC games on my phone. Update your technical code, sure, but leave the UI alone. At least let us go back to the old one with a toggle in our user preferences. Even reddit managed that. Hell, even imgur managed that one. And holy s#*!, no-one gives a flyer about collections. Stop trying to force them down our throats. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYellingMute Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 add a layout that matches the old system and it would be received alot better. an option to customize the page easily would also be smart. we have less information taking up more space so im not sure what the goal of the overhaul was other than to make it look smooth. theres so much extra space on the side of the site thats deadspace, i assume if i wasnt a premium member they would be chock full of ads. which is disappointing to think that might be the reason. make people scroll longer to get to the mods they do care about so you get more ad numbers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiloLila Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Seems like the developers of this new design live a life without daylight. Now that it's night and only a lamp is illuminating my room, I can clearly see the elements in the new design. Even on a screen brightness of 30% they seem definitely brighter then the background. Now it's actually a dark and minimalistic looking design. But just some hours ago, when this gigantic fusion reaction sphere in the sky we bathing my livingroom in an unholy amount of photons, even with my screen set to 100% brightness I could just barely make out the borders of the elements. I know, since this is a website meant for gamers, that might never be a problem, since gamers too sit in their darkened sun blocking rooms all day long and only ever see actual daylight when the rising sun is telling them to go to bed. ... Jokes aside. The darkmode theme, as nice as it might have meant to be, is just WAY TOO DARK to be practical. I know, blacks are better for OLED panels, but pleasing the monitors energy efficiancy should not have priority over pleasing the users viewing experiences. But besides all this sarcasm and humor, I also want to add some constructive feedback. How about adding a costumization option where each user can select their prefered color palet? Maybe some themes like "true dark" (new one), "orange n gray" (old one) and "outside" (light mode) and so on?
