To be clear though, the biggest reason, THE STAFF TREATS THE USER BASE LIKE PEOPLE. Despite there being 10,000,000 of us, we don't feel like faceless numbers. And that is because you seem to CARE. Don't stop doing that, and this awesome community will probably never devolve.

Thank you for being the best you can be.

So, is it safe to assume that I can download mods again without having to worry about the dsound.dll file? Including the mods that had the file?

Something interesting for the people that think the Nexus breach is unforgivable. Valve admits that around 77,000 steam accounts are hacked every month.

http://store.steampowered.com/news/19618/

There is nothing like that on Nexus for a hacker to steal. We don't have any financial info on the site at all, and nothing like the steam trading cards or hats either. :blush:

 

The lesson here is DO NOT use the same password on steam that you use anywhere else. In fact do not use the same password on any sites. If a hacker does crack one, they then have access to the other. And Use the two factor security when it is available - such as it already is on steam. :cool:

Thank you Dark0ne, my utmost respect and appreciation to you.

[sjoerddz]

thanks for the update, you seem to really care and i think everyone can appriciate that.

[Dragonbaern]

how do I contact the admins for help changing my password? I can't remember my nexus password, I have it on auto-fill, I'm finding the form to change it really confusing.

 

I clicked on change password in my account but when I filled everything in it said "you already have that email account registered", then I put my email password (But left new email blank) in the top section with my auto-filled nexus password in the bottom section and got "your security key is incorrect" It wants my email plus 2 passwords, one of which I don't know, to change my password, what do I do? please help.
