A better idea would be to make a design that works well with the available real estate. And if we don't beat this to death, PC users will once again lose ground. Except that some are satisfied with the way it turned out. And oh yes, Nexus has made appeasement modifications in the way the website looks based on our feedback. Yes, not everything is liked, and I may have made other choices here and there, but "winning-out", in my view, shouldn't be the motivating factor. The website is going to be designed for multiple platforms and some accommodations have to be made for that. It's 2025, not 2000. Most gamers have smartphones and do use them for gaming related activities. A helpful way to look at it would be what is the best overall look that can be accomplished based on the fact that varying needs (and not just what I want) must be considered.

Quite right, which is why there is NO EXCUSE in designing a website for phones only or PC only. It is now perfectly possible to design a website in such a way that it changes layout based on screen size. Oh yeah - that's what they call "responsive". And that change of layout is not limited to switching from three columns to four, it can be quite extensive. Of course, that requires more work which is apparently not worth it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxisXx27 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I really like the new look and UI, it's so much smoother, looks great and modern (slight P*rnhub vibes, but that's okay....i mean that's what a uh...a friend...told me, so...), and it's much easier to navigate/coordinate mods and "modpack" curating. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't these types of topics and the Feedback board be closed down then if the work is done? I don't know anything about web design and what is and isn't possible, but I don't see complaining about too much empty space 20x a day in feedback topics productive, particularly when questioning why does Nexus give consideration to smartphones. I'm pretty sure they've seen the complaint enough times to have it drilled into their brains forevermore by now. A lot of feedback from members here have been implement.

Sinisterbrain Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'd like to add to other that have pointed out the ability to hide the collections section. I never use collections (To much of a mod control freak, lol) and would like the space back for my browsing. The page already has a LOT of wasted space. One other thing, as with the old page, the beta site does the same thing. Allow me to click anywhere to close the popup when I track a mod. It's such a small thing but it just erks me that you have to click the "x" to make it go away. Below is a screenshot of the offending little box. I don't mind the new site, but I have to say I still prefer the old one (nostalgia, stubbornness? You choose). I do understand the need for an update. It's been a looooong time coming. However, I think it could be a little more compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np11 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Waste of screen space, no tangible improvement of functionality in any way on my end to yield even a net positive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qrsr Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hope you are planning to add a files section called "Patches" for mod authors to choose from: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 That wouldn't apply to all games and use cases. You can name your files in that section however you like though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack49 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Just so the designers are aware how people use the site. When reading forums or checking on messages, people often use both the PC and the smart phone to check on messaging. When actually modding their game to play, they are almost exclusively using the PC because they are typically playing the game from their PC. They are downloading mods, installing with a mod manager, moving files, etc. and so are using the desktop browser. Please keep this in mind when skewing the design towards mobile. Mobile is almost always a secondary use of the site. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
