Mod Browsing Overhaul Open Beta

[Qrsr]

I noticed blocked users finally are visible again across all sections. All of those titty twister mods and media 5#!7 is visible to me again. OMG what have you done please make blocked authors disappear from the overview page again.

YES. This is one of the most annoying feature of all. If someone creates a translation of mod x you see a new mod page. What the hell? Clutter everywhere.

I remember asking Picky or someone else in past to let people at least confirm a translation of a mod. Having it directly be part of the "main" mod page would be godsent however.

+1 from me.

That's not what I said.

I said that today only translators, like me, are allowed to release one translation per page. I wanted to be able to release more than one language for the same mod on the same page.  What you want is a strange thing, do you think it's bad for translators to release translations for mods?

Translations for mods expand and multiply the use of your mod. A mod with translations will be more widely distributed and downloaded than those only in English, which represent only 33% of players.

Having a localized MOD with as many languages as possible is beneficial for the entire community, for the game, for the site, and for the modder.

No and thats not what i said. It would be nice to have all the translated content stored on one page. And of course if one author is able to translate into multiple language he/she should be able to.

Can we please make language selection sticky as a part of preferences? It makes no sense to waste bandwidth showing us mods we can't read. Other options could benefit from being sticky as well.

god the new design is utter dogshit. spacing alone makes my eyes bleed, not to mention the incomprehensible layout of each individual mod card on the result page.

 

I get that you got that globohomo dog In y'all, but that's boring *and* lame.

I do like the new set up but to make it personal could photo's taking in game be added to the background like uploading images for the public? Thanks for maintaining the site and trying to make it better.

Where are you seeing white on yellow? Can you grab a screenshot?

My initial thoughts after using it for a few days:

1. I think it looks very good, but I don't think it is as "clean" as the classic version. I know that everything is still essentially there, but it takes my brain a second to figure out what I am looking at. I felt the same way when the profiles were switched over. Like, I really understand that it's the same information reorganized, if you can even say it's reorganized, but it feels more "comfy" than "compact," leading to a lot of extra brain processing time on my end. I would like a "preference" setting where I can make it compact, but keep the same style.
2. I think the addition of popular collections is nice. I think the integration of collections into the main page of the game makes it feel more integrated. I think it was done perfectly. I don't need it more integrated, but just having the extra reminder that they exist on the page instead of the top bar is helpful to new users.
3. That being said, it does push down the mods listings, which is why I am here. I don't like having to scroll down to find the thing I am here for. Maybe just moving the popular collections below that would be better. OR, and I think this is where I land, I think you can get rid of the highlighted mods in favor of collections. May be controversial because what creator wants to lose discovery to a curator, but I think that just leaving the top two highlighted mods with making the banner a link to a "popular mods" section would be cleaner. Plus, you would then be able to literally see the "Popular" section without scrolling down.
4. The actual mod pages is perfect, don't touch it. I find the mobile dropdown menu to be awful and I don't know how you would change the current desktop iteration without doing that. As someone who uses this site a lot more that what I assume your average user does, I always forget that the dropdown menu exists and just give up when I am searching for information. Like, I KNOW it's there, but the way it's implemented suggests to my brain that the overview is the only page.
5. Somewhat going back to #3, just make the Popular section the default instead of new. I know discoverability is a thing, but I don't think we can have "everything" while keeping it clean and compact. Just swap the two. Most of the new mods are translations and NSFW mods (Jesus Christ Cyberpunk and Elden Ring) anyways and make finding the mods I want hard. Also, I can't figure out as a user what the difference between the "trending" and "popular" sections are, unless one is weekly and the other monthly, so I don't know if they are really doing their job. You could totally do away with trending. TL;DR - do away with trending and make "popular" the default view.

Lots of useless clutter on the page i dont look at..

Collections - no interest need to be able to hide these. 

So much wasted space, why does it show less mods than the old version, dont you want people to actually see mods ? 

Since its on the front page why do we need the news below the mods as well (i know this happens on old version too) - would be nice to be able to move the media stuff to a separate page from the mods.
