Mod Browsing Overhaul Open Beta

[NexBeth]

Ok, I see problem now.  If you use descriptions for your results, the search results are different.  For instance, in classic version if your search word is CRAFT in the description name, it pulls up all mods with CRAFT in the description name.

In the beta, not sure what criteria it is using to conduct the search, but the results are that CRAFT is not in the file description name.

No, that's not what happens. First of all, in both cases I searched the file/mod title for "craft", not their description. Secondly, both search queries report all mods with a variant of "craft" in their name. The files reported are the same. The only difference being their order relative to each other due to the different sorting option chosen: Trending vs. Endorsements. Trending option shows all files ever released based on the number of endorsements in the past 14 days, just like the site's default "Top Files/Lists" (header menu band -> "Mods" drop-down section -> "Top Files"); whereas the new design's replacement sorts them by total number of endorsements (since day 1).

'Trending' and 'Endorsements' are the same thing.
 

Trending mods are mods uploaded within the last X days, sorted by endorsements. When you view more trending mods, you're taken to a list of mods uploaded within the last X days, sorted by endorsements.

Agreed, the Trending Mods on the start page (and View All) works like that. But the old design's Trending sorting option in the search seems to function more like the "Top Files/Lists" in the site's header band, based on the results shown in the search. The first image of my example clearly shows that the search result isn't limited to "mods uploaded within the last X days, sorted by endorsements". They are sorted by most Endorsements in the last X days where the day of upload doesn't matter at all.

In the new theme, there are a lot of cool shades (there is a lot of blue channel). This somewhat worsens the quality of life when reading text, as the white text becomes very corrosive to the eyes. 

For example: Discord RGB(49, 51, 56) not so much blue and not so dark.

I love the new design but the beta performance is very choppy, sluggish and slow, borderline unusable with browser hardware acceleration off (I have to turn it off so my browser doesn't completely tank when I play GPU heavy games, this is on any fork of Firefox afaik).

Ryzen 5 7600x
RTX 4070
32GB DDR5 

Please don't let it release like this.

@SearingEchoJust for my edification, why is your browser open during gaming play?

Why not? I have my browser open almost all the time, maybe to quickly check something on a mod page, or maybe to watch a Youtube/Twitch video during longer load times. Pretty normal to have the browser open....

Why is THIS

supposed to be better than THIS?

With the present (good) design, i can see 10 mods. With the upcoming new (bad) design i barely can see 8 mods. And I'm missing the background picture.

As many said before, if you REALLY must do an "upgrade", make it optional. You can do all your code improvements under the hood and keep the design as it is.

The old site shows a fade-in/fade-out date in the lower right corner of the images, but on the Beta site, no date is showing at all.
