An app would be an awesome addition to this site's ui, but the main site should really stay "PC centric." i doubt there's a gigantic margin for modding on a smartphone. If i could get my skyrim, skse, wrye bash, fnis and boss on my phone, then the 243 mods, that phone just dropped out of the Pack-a-Punch machine. if that's the case, Richtofen and i have bigger problems. Like running. Just sayin'.

I wanted to add a bit of a side note, or an addendum to my previous statements. After reading ten whole pages of comments, i feel that you, Paul, might be just what the community needs. Robin has made some fine choices in the past, and on the other hand the Nexus has seen some choice mistakes as well. The hiring of our new man Paul here should fit into the former (that's the one i said first, right? I'm trying to refer to the earlier one) if I'm not mistaken myself. Please prove that I am not (and of course that robin isn't either, as would be the more prominent part of the choice in question).

I jest, welcome abroad.

It's good to be here though and nice to make your acquaintance :)

Likewise, and to be honest, I'm not complaining. I think the staff does a good job in balancing presence without turning it into outright interference. It's structured, yet free. Just right.

I honestly think that although the user-name 'Paul' is probably taken it was probably banned some time ago, in which this case the user-name could easily have been recycled. "BlindJudge" seems a bit...I don't know. Off....for a moderator. Something like "Paul the Impaler" would have sufficed, or even "Paul the Great" or "King Paul VIII"...BlindJudge seems like an unusual choice for a moderator's user-name. I had to manually add that into Dragon Naturally just for this post.

A friend of mine in India is working on trying to convert Oblivion to an Android application using the Unreal engine, but he hasn't made much progress. He's using the same processor that's in the Droid Turbo, I think. I have not heard from him in recent weeks as I assume he's been busy. Somebody that he knows modified Half Life to be used on the NVIDIA Shield.

Greetings! Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

As a screenarcher showcasing mods and writing story's I hope one of the upcoming projects will allow larger images to be displayed. Especially for series of images that are hosted off site creating a story board effect. An example of one of my favorite authors HERE.

Cheers and best wishes!

Indeed, the major problem with the site design is the fact that the site is so narrow and has all the free space on the sides. I think it's a safe guess that most of us have widescreen monitors and not the good ol' boxes we used to have haha :D But yeah, that just needs to be fixed up because it's so.. Ugh. Ugly and a pain. Other than that.. Not much to complain about on my part, just could use up some cosmetic changes here and there. Oh and perhaps something mobile friendly, the drop downs at the top are a huge pain on mobile. Especially for mod authors such as I who have to reply to comments, check up on mods/pictures or just want to look at some pictures while on the run. Maybe even look into fixing the avatar when it changes, try to fix that up so it doesn't take a few weeks to finally change after going back and forth between the new image and old, and even older ones lol. Which brings in another point of fixing up how screenshots and images work. The whole click on an image, wait a few minutes and have it pop out like it does is a bit annoying - maybe look into alternatives? And even screenshots it would be nice to see them bigger without having to right click and open in a new tab (such a hassle! Gawd!)

 

All this I mentioned in the survey with more information, but figured I'd post it here as well.

 

Good luck :)

Good to see that the site will be getting some well needed care and redesign :D

 

Anyways, i tried to take the survey, but it didnt go through so i decided to write the idea i have down here:

Considering there are many creative minds on this site that have no skills within mod creation, perhaps a form of "idea pool" or something like that. Basically, someone starts out with an mod concept and puts it up as a basic concept that everyone is allowed to expand upon like a mind-map. The ideas are then put into sub-categories, for example quest mod will be broken down into sub-categories of "Characters", "plot", "quest rewards", etc.

 

It will give potential mod creators a clear picture of what people want and what the dont want in a mod. And if a mod creator really want to create a mod based on the idea, they can use it as a list of things that will exist in the final product.

 

Thus, new mods will potentially have higher quality and/or greater creativity.

Hi I'm really satisfy by this website I use it for many years and it keeps getting better.

I have just two comments :

- some mods arent categorized

- about "the most downloaded" perhaps it is better to classify by year so new talented modders will have a better visibility

Thank you Nexus, modders, those who post comments pictures and videos, for all.
