Glitchfinder Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 A few miscellaneous notes about the UI: Center-clicking a notification will mark it as read if done on a mod page, but not on a games hub such as /games/fallout4 On the mod cards, the pop-ups explaining endorsement count, file size, and download count include the unicode icons. However, the pop-ups explaining uploaded and updated dates do not include their unicode icons and will only pop-up if you mouse over the actual date/time. The entire collection card is treated as a hyperlink, which means the endorsement icon+count has no way to provide context information explaining what it is. These cards behave differently from all other card-types on the page, with the exception of the first two trending mods. Those share the same problem of using shorthand information with no accessible explanation. The "view all" links at the top of sections and the "view more" links at the bottom of sections are functionally identical on the default "New" sort. If this is intended, they should both use the "view all" verbiage. If it isn't, "view more" links should be adjusted to start on the next page of content so that you don't click "view more" just to wind up being shown the exact same content you just viewed. When reporting a mod, there is a checkbox at the end to certify that the information is accurate and correct. Moving your mouse over the text next to the checkbox highlights the checkbox, but clicking while the checkbox is highlighted does not toggle it. The only way to toggle the checkbox is to click it directly. This isn't specifically the new UI, but when you click the Manage->Upload New Version button to update a mod file, any newlines in that file's description will be doubled when the description is imported into the "Add a new file" UI. To explain that last one, let's take the optional file I have here on Bug Swarm Crash Fix. This is what the file description should be: [b]Only required for the Full version of Mutant Menagerie! The Base version does not need a fix.[/b] Fixes a crash involving the bee swarms added by Mutant Menagerie - Life Finds A Way. And this is what I get when I try to upload a new version: [b]Only required for the Full version of Mutant Menagerie! The Base version does not need a fix.[/b] Fixes a crash involving the bee swarms added by Mutant Menagerie - Life Finds A Way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InverseEffect Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Trending search was my go to search option. It allowed me to see newly released mods that were popular. Bring it back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnakinTheWeird Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The one hill I'm going to die on that I need fixed before I stop bitching and go back to using the site, is how the new layout wastes so much space and yet give less material. Going from 5 mods per row down to only 4 has me doing the Jackie Chan confused face. Spreading the tiles out to compensate looks clumsy. If it's a matter of catering to mobile users, shame on you for prioritizing them on a site for strictly desktop functionality. If it's a matter of needing to keep things a certain size for the sake of the visually impaired, then why is there still so much room wasted on the sides of the screen? My 4k monitor is more than halfway taken up by empty color gradient. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't take away the banners on individual games, but because they did, it puts a big bright spotlight on the issue. Why not just do like how YouTube, Amazon, or even PornHub figured out decades ago, and show extra results based on your available screen space? If my screen is big enough to show 10 mods per row, then why not let me see 10 mods per row? Why should I be constrained to the same screen space limitations as a smartphone, which, again, should never ever have the priority over desktops on this site, ever? If impaired accessibility is still a concern, then have options for UI scaling. Which, again, I remind you, is a thing we figured out how to do decades ago. There's no excuse not to do it here. Not when the alternative is the terrible looking empty color gradient of doom. And not when the alternative is to abandon your target userbase for one that physically can't use the site for its intended function. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plagueofdeath Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Would love a way to go back to the old UI, even if it never gets updated with new features 100 percent with ya on this. Im in my late 20s and stand with the moto if it aint broke dont mess with it. Especially because its like riding a bike or driving a car with muscle memory. New design and removing features is harder the older ya get. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
