UI design

Hey Nexus staff, I have a hopeful suggestion that you can make the site more efficient overall by making buttons and links a bit bigger. My biggest gripe is the teeny size of the page icons when I'm flipping through new mods or through a search. If they were 50% bigger they'd be faster to click on. I'm not talking about their visibility, or the decision to click it, but the actual process of moving the cursor to the actual item.

There's some historical research that's been done describing the process. I feel like pagination is the prime example of this. It's done often enough and the labels of the items are obvious enough that you aren't trying to figure out what they're doing by hovering over them for a tooltip or to see the link address. So if they went from 21x20 to 30x30 they'd only take up 10 more pixels at the top of the page, but they'd be significantly easier to just click on.

Hi Sean, thanks for the input!

Kind-of hard for me to determine what you are referring to on our site, specifically. Perhaps you could take a screenshot?

Thank you!
