New UI - Accessibility feedback

[nefariouslover]

Mobile First design is trash.

 

New UI/UX is horribad.


I will 100% never subscribe again if this doesn't get reverted. 


It's astounding how blind and deaf they're being to this issue.  Any reasonable management team would see the backlash and feedback and immediately revert it or at least give people a toggle option to go back to the old layout.

Stop trying to fix what isn't broken.  You're not going to generate more revenue by pandering to one demographic at the expense of your existing core demographic who was already happy with the previous layout.

After reading the complaints of the 99.99% of your community, and seeing every single person but like 1 loser agrees the new layout is bad, I now can barely see a damn thing and have to keep my eyes closed for the next 10 minutes. Thanks a lot for this hot dookie.

The old one felt better. The color was warm and the text felt natural. Now the contrast is strange, as it's quite dark background with something that isn't really white, making it hard to read. I have to squint my eyes to read it without glasses. It also makes my eyes sore after reading anything for more than 1 minute which is very problematic as I have dyslexia, so it takes me a bit longer than other people to read various descriptions and installation processes for mods.
Everything on the first page seems so huge. Bigger doesn't always mean easier to read. The size makes me feel quite anxious. Not to mention now I have to scroll for some time to actually see the mods. And scrolling requires more movement then ever which is very unpleasant if you happen to have any mobility or hand disabilities.

Copy-paste of what I've said already half a dozen times:

High-Res or High-Viz, whichever you want to call it, BLINDS ME!

I'm photosensitive and all the bright white on a black background makes it so that after about 5 minutes, max, I have my field of vision covered in ghost black letters. It's like looking at the sun and getting blots on your eyes.

Who was the moron (sorry, it has no other name) that thought this would suit everyone? Who forgot that there is more than one type of visual impairment out there?

Give us an option to apply the old colors (and don't tell me it's impossible, I know it's a lie). We shouldn't be having to resort to mess around with CSS in order to be able to surf the site.

1) In the current state, the mod icons are too small + I can't even read the full name of the mods.

2) Bring back the ability to preview screenshots of mods.

I said it before and I'll say it again here: for anyone not requiring a high contrast color scheme or even requiring a lighter mode to read the new UI is utterly inaccessible for more than a couple minutes (yes, on the forums too). So, beside fixing all other issues, please, add at least one light mode (classic colors) option. With old subdued orange, because the new shade is pretty eye-searing too.

I agree adding a classic colors option (if there isn't one already, and I can't find it if so) might tremendously help accessibility. I could barely read the latest news update, and I have to lean way closer to my screen even to read these comments than I do on any other site I use. This color scheme is an accessibility issue. Beyond the physical pain the redesign puts me in, I'm getting fed up with this site. I cannot use it as much as I'd like, and I want to use it less and less every day.

Is it planned to make a light theme ? The dark theme cause eye strain because of my astigmatism. It's also harder for me to read on a dark theme.

Wish there was a keyword search instead of having to go to the search bar. The old UI used to do that I think?

[J3w3ls]

I'm not against the UI overhaul. I don't think the changes are bad, only small points such as:
- Search should default to mods if you searched that last
- User search is really really bad. The sorting by relevance should push forward authors with lots of unique downloads. Either add a filter by UDL or improve upon the relevance filter to include that!
- Don't push collections that hard. Or give us a setting to turn that off entirely. Most experienced users won't use them, thus have no need to see them taking a lot of space on the page.

One tiny comment: premium users also have a big space at the top, it's not linked to ad blockers

I genuinely don't think the team understands what people mean when they say the new UI gives people headaches.

I went to look at Fallout 4 mods and I immediately, like.. Two seconds in, started feeling a pain in the center/top of my head and it went away immediately when I clicked back and went back to the Nexus main menu, where there hasn't been changes yet.

Nexus team, if you're listening, I can't even access the website with your new UI because it is physically painful to look at.
Or more accurately looking causes physical pain. English is fun.
