Not comparable but I see what you're getting at.

I just don't want it to get to the point where such fixes, no matter how welcome or appreciated, are taken for granted--by both the community and the Nexus itself.

It also saddens me that it's reached the point where we have to use third-party tools in order to view a formerly beloved website with some measure of comfort. 

The change in contrast, the removal of backgrounds, the oddly glowing font--it is driving me batty. I already use special lens clips on account of chronic migraines. To say that I am frazzled at the changes in the lighting alone is putting it kindly.

Is it intended that new uploads section is so small and squished together?

I don't think that's intended, but it's better than the alternative.

Awful awful redesign...how can u have so much bad taste and be equally inept to accept this piece of crap.

Okay, seriously, are you all looking at a different website or something?

First of all, what do you mean by "the front page of the website"?  Because "www.nexusmods.com" has two rows of games,  five rows of "news updates" and four rows of mods showing on it.  Is that not what you are seeing?

Nowhere can I find a place that has a single row of mods and has Collections and media getting in the way of seeing the mods in any way.

Okay, seriously, right no my game page looks like 2 trending mods instead of 7, mind-wreckingly huge. Then two giant collections instead of a link to this game's collections page. And somewhere below, finally, 16 mods. NEW instead of LATEST as I had them set in MY PREFERENCES.

Lol, another game page does show 6 (instead of 7) trending mods Annnd to get to the mods themselves I have to scroll twice. Twice! First, through the huge trending stuff, them through the huge collectionsgopremium stuff. Lovely.

@LummoxJR Time to update that CSS of your, big time

 

@JustThatKing or whoever sees this first, this is absolute unusable madness, pls revert it to the old layout (and by reverting I mean make it look like old page on your shiny new framework). PRETTY PLEASE.

You see, the changes are just under the hood, but they both look the same. One is new, one is old, simple.

Hilarious post since the new one has clearly been extensively redesigned while calling back to the original.

This new black design is very generic. It looks like Curseforge.

Turns out I was looking at a different site from others since I was still getting the beta update not the final update.  So now I can see some of the things people are referring to, although I'm not having the functional problems people are referring to regarding the search.

The new main mage is wider yet show LESS mods than before. How come it takes more space yet is less practical or pleasing to look at ?

Everything seems overly stretched and blurry.

Yes, precisely this. Ugh.

[WillScrolls]

yeah this new design is not it at all. The new home page is so much worse, the old one used the grey borders to seperate the actual content from the background making it much easier to read, now everything sort of blends together. The new banner at the top takes up way too much space, and awkwardly pushes down the hot mods section that used to be right at the top of your screen. The more mods section is especially bad with the options providing far less utility than what was previously available. Why would I want to go on the nebulous 'trending' tab when what I actually WANT to see is the most popular mods uploaded in the last 30 days/ week/ today. Even if it provides the same service I'm less inclined to use it because it doesn't clearly display when the mods are from like the old UI did. The new search page is also pretty bad, the search bar on the side forces everyone to scroll down the page to select all the required setting, creating completely unnecessary hassle that wasn't present with the old UI.

Overall this new UI is a disaster, at the very least please give us an option to revert it back to the old one.

It hurts my brain how anyone in their right mind can consider this an improvement over the old UI...

Well, fits into a dumbphone screen nicely (a very large 27"+ screen, sideways)
