deadpool0600 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 This new search bar feature is horrible and the old one is far superior. This new one: Blocks your view of the page you are on. Forces you to the main mods page if you click "Show more", booting you out of the page you were on. Looks very bubbly and off-putting. (Modern "Bubble" UIs in general suck) The old one: Lets you look through every single mod under a word. Leaves you able to see the page you are on still (Great for seeing what you are trying to spell). Is very sleek and sexy. Please stop reinverting the wheel, the UI was fine and worked perfectly. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltCakes Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Really not a fan of any of these changes, but especially how clicking search opens a window rather then a drop down. actually terrible. Would it maybe be possible to give us an option to turn that off, or roll back to the old layout or anything? bc this kind of sucks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade999 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) I really don't see the point in automatically opening a new window when i want to search for something. Why change something that doesn't need changing? Also the fact that all the pages for different games now have the same color is pretty bad for people like me, who have oriented themselves with these colors.

Kiwa Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 The search alone is awful. It's so big, obtrusive and clunky when before it wasn't. UI elements for mod pages are just kind of ugly and the overall design feels quite literally like a mobile website design I half-assed in college for a web design course I didn't have any interest in. It's functional, but it blows; and while one user probably doesn't matter in the long term: the fact that I don't like the website, and feel its design actively gets in my way of using it just means I'm going to use it less. Between steam workshop, individual modder discords, patreons and git repositories, this site was essentially just a convenient place to get everything in one go. When it stops being convenient I stop returning. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the new search feels broken, it sometimes brings up zero results when I know there are mods with the keyword in the title. Expand The same mods data is being searched, so there shouldn't be a discrepancy with the new interface. However there have been issues in the past with mods not being updated for the search after changes- please do report any instances you spot of this and we will endeavour to fix them.

HXST Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 +1 to all the complaints about the search bar/UI. Why on earth would you make the search a pop up that fills most of the screen? There isn't a single website I can think of where the search bar overtakes the screen like that and there is plenty of reason as to why thats the case. Purchased premium for the first time recently but now it seems like it was a bad choice. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 It was pointed out that opening the new search causes the page behind to scroll back to the top. I believe that was recently mentioned as a bug that either had been fixed in the beta or was going to be. Am I correct in that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnerkeil Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Not a fan of the new search bar at all, as its adding an extra step. Why would I need to search for different games? If I'm downloading mods for one game, I'm generally not downloading mods for another at the same time. If I want to change what game I'm downloading mods for a simple Google search of "[game name] nexus" brings me exactly where I need to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 What is this extra step everyone keeps talking about? If I'm on a Skyrim SE page, I click in the search box, I type "witcher", the quick list of mods containing "witcher" comes up. I then have the option to click the "show all" button to open the full listing (which is the same as before) or I have new options to switch the results to: games containing "witcher"; Collections containing "witcher"; images containing "witcher"; videos cotaining "witcher" or users containing "witcher". Getting the quick list of mods takes no extra steps than before, no extra clicks, no extra effort at all. You just have more options to alter your search if you wish. Am i missing something or are all your browsers so broken that it's not working that way for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
