Ah, thanks for the screenshot. It's not meant to look like that, you have a browser addon breaking the page. 

If you work out which addon/setting is causing it, we might be able to look into why it's breaking the page so badly. The last user who had this problem said it was some kind of "force dark mode" extension. 

This is what it looks like normally.

The last user to mention it said it was Dark Reader causing the issue. 

jep that was it dont not now i had it it was the Firefox add-on dark reader thnx fore the help

Loving the new UI

I've sent my feedback through the form. But also dropping it here...

I'm not sure if the typeface choice for the mod page is functional. It clashes with the header and in mods with long names it can get very busy. See here: I think it's better to keep the condensed style typeface. Maybe use something like Roboto Condensed. The line-height on the mod description also felt more packed but unnecessarily larger. 

The "Popular Collections" section is also... questionable. IMHO, we don't need another "top posts" for collection. We need more space to highlight less popular collections. Maybe rather than "Popular Collections", it's better to have "Trending Collections" like "Trending Mods" so it will change regularly. What counts as "Trending" is based on downloads/endorsement since it was last updated or uploaded.

I'm also questioning the decision to only show Endorsement metrics on the Trending Mods and removing something more important like Categories. Also the number of trending mods is less now, only 6 (it used to be 7 mods). Would've been better if 7 mods instead of only 6.

Just to give a little different perspective....I absolutely don't love this new layout. It is a vast step back and makes everything so much more difficult to navigate. Looking forward to this not being implemented.

I just want to know how to get rid of this hideous blue bar that won't get off the site header now.

Please make it go away... I've already opted in I'm more than aware that I'm viewing the beta site.

So uhh the block for the [BBCODE] overlaps into the comment box on the mod pages...

I have been using Nexus for almost 10 years and after the new beta realized just how much the old font on each mod title (Main heading and sub headings) fits neatly into my vision. Sure it was all caps and sure it was thin but man it was efficient.

Comparatively the new heading takes a bit more effort to read as it is more in my FOV although much more dominant in displaying mod titles distinctively.  Not sure if this is just an ultra wide display problem (32 inch) but perhaps users of smaller screens see things differently.

What I noticed is through the gain in readability is lost on speed. I never pay much attention to the mod title of a mod when I have clicked into it. If I clicked on the mod, I have already read it on the catalogue. I do not need to see it span across my screen again. This is a personal opinion of course but will vary differently amongst other users. When within a mod, more attention is drawn to the mod's description, images, dependencies, and comments.  Interesting update. Somewhat miss the all caps titles but it seems to fit the classic more compared to the new font used.  Other than that, the orange lettering is a welcome touch throughout the website and greatly homogenizes the overall feel which improves on the older style. Perhaps this change is one we will get used to with time and could be explored further.

I was just looking at a mod and decided to track it. Couldn't find the "Track" button. After half a minute staring at the place where it used to be, I saw it. Sure, it's there, but it is black. It doesn't look like a button! It looks no different than the word "Download:" on the same line which is NOT a button. Please give buttons a coloured background.

I just realised that a mod gets marked "Downloaded" the moment you click the Download button. If you then choose to cancel without downloading the mod, it is still marked as downloaded. This can happen if the mod has requirements, so a requirements box comes up first asking you whether you want to download those first. If you decline, your download is canceled, yet the mod is still marked as downloaded. I think it should only be marked as downloaded once your download has completed. So not if you stopped it half way either because then you still haven't got that mod.
