That wasn't what I said, IIRC the survey had a five-point rating and an optional text area, but it popped up as early as possible and if the user submitted the five-point rating without thinking twice, there was no way to enter details and resubmit. I'm pretty sure this is what they call the positive 80% response.

Ah okay. Didn't know the rest as you didn't state originally. 

They really should do a poll now that it's here. Would be better data now.

Really not a fan of the new layout. There's a lot of wasted space and it looks optimized for mobile browsing, which is really dumb because we certainly can't install mods on a phone. I assume Nexus shareholders are following the trend of "we want every site to look like mobile". It needs a 'compact' layout. I want to see fifty mods at a time on a 1920x1080 monitor, not 8. I assume the next Nexus redesign in several years will reduce the number of mods seen on the screen at once to 2? Maybe just 1?

Awful changes as usual.

Question, why does the main page (the "Welcome to Nexus Mods" page) still have the old UI layout, when the rest has the newer one? 'Tis a little jarring.

To remind us of what we once had..

There's almost nothing good about the new UI. Searching and browsing mods is a painful mess, why make the site look and feel as awful as schakenmods?

We haven't shipped the updated UI for that page yet, but it's nearly ready to go.

Never posted before and felt compelled to sign in to express my displeasure with this layout.

Don't see the reason to make everything big, and then lower the amount of mods displayed per row. There should be an option to use the old layout or the new, like how reddit does it.

The tiles are not wide enough anymore, so now it looks lousy with both headings and descriptive text shorten down with "....". There is also too much space used between each tile.

Settings - Preferences - Default search view - Small tiles (or Big tiles) don't work if I switch.

It was way better before

 

 

Hey @DanishPagan, this should only be displaying 6 mods per row. Can you let me know what device, browser and operating system you're using and if you have any zoom settings or plug-ins running in your browser. Thanks

Those are exactly the hard-hitting questions everyone here expected they were: really vague, and overly general. If I had to guess, I imagine everything 3 and up was viewed as a positive response.

Nice, it's another website updating its design in order to waste as much screen space as possible, love when that happens. Runs a lot worse too. Lovely stuff.
