Seb263 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Hey everyone, I usually don’t comment on internal changes, but this time, I feel like I have to speak up. Besides being a modder, I’m also a professional web developer, and honestly, I’m quite disappointed with this design overhaul. The choice of an ultra-minimalist design (following the "trend"), primarily focused on mobile at the expense of desktop usability, seems like a huge mistake. Modding is, above all, a world of "tinkerers," and a tinkerer will always prefer a functional, clear, and distinct interface over one that is overly spacious, where everything looks the same and finding what you need becomes a hassle. I see that many people already share the same opinion, so I won’t go over the full list of issues again. But for now, it would really make sense to revert to the previous design, which was highly functional and met the community’s needs perfectly. Why try to "improve" something that was already working well? The site now feels cold and impersonal, which is a real shame for a platform that thrives thanks to us, the community. Even if the staff has indicated they won’t consider our feedback, it’s still worth trying. It’s never too late to rethink a decision. Thanks for reading. 20
Imperial2000 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Really excited to see staff continue the "vocal minority" cope, or if they'll stay silent and hope this all goes away. They've received the same feedback since day one of the beta and not just completely ignored it, but spat in the face of it. 16
Acidrim Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Plenty of people are talking about how subjectively the new design isn't as good looking as the old design, which I somewhat agree with, but my main concern is the loss of several quality of life features: Trending mods no longer show a mod's category and displays one less mod, there is no longer an option to view the images of mod without clicking on the mod, there is no longer an option to set a custom time range when browsing mods, and a few others that people have already mentioned. These are features I have always made use of so I'm disappointed that they've just been stripped out. It definitely feels like this UI change got pushed out too soon. 16

Expand Which is baffling to think about. I'm assuming Nexus A)Hired and paid a team to make a new UI design for the site. or B)Had their own staff develop the new UI design In either case, I can understand the strong commitment to putting the UI to use, especially in Case A. Perhaps a sunk cost fallacy, etc, or etc. Making Nexus more mobile friendly is a GOOD thing, I despised browsing Nexus on my mobile device, would just wait until I was able to reach my desktop 9 times out of 10 if I wanted to browse something on Nexus. My question is, why does the new UI have to be site-wide instead of just mobile specific? It can't be a limitation, it has to be possible. Mobile gets the new UI and desktop has the old UI. Cosmetic and minor edits to both to bring color and theme consistency, but then the site is usable on both platforms. Win-Win. It's bonkers to me that the desktop experience should be restricted to a lower level of quality so that the mobile experience is the same and/or at least similar. I feel a lot of peoples, including my own, feedback will just be labeled "I do not like change" and be promptly discarded since this seems to be the go-to answer for a lot of feedback toward the new design. I'm not going to contribute my own thoughts any further to spare time. 13
symplexity Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Holy crap, i hate this new design. Nothing wrong with the old design, worked fine for years this is just god awful with lots of wasted space.... please revert this or make it optional. 12

It'll be seconds before they lock this topic, so I'll say this before they do. We might need to get #BoycottNexusMods trending somewhere. This is awful to see and I had no idea what Nexus was like behind the scenes, it's deeply saddening to see. We definitely at this point need Dark0ne himself to come out of the bush and say something that we WANT to hear. I did not expect this place to start burning down so quickly. 12

Expand We're going to get told “What's What” pretty soon, and that we MUST like the new design or leave, because the “Overwhelming (albeit Invisible) Masses™ LOVED the new site. And that we should just “Grow up” and stop protesting because we're just “Whining” because we don't like change®. It's their Standard Operating Procedure, which is exactly why I didn't bother participating in the Beta, because I knew that no matter what the people actually WANTED, we were going to get ignored, because it's what they always do. It happens every time. 24
