Most users are using the standard widescreen displays and the sides usually go to waste, why not display more info like a wider list of pictures.With ulta wides starting to come into play they will suffer from this issue even more.The sides of the page have been left open like that for a few reasons, one of those is a requirement for ads that need to run in a side skin format.Since the site is build in a modular way, it's easy to build upon it later on for even wider screens if the need arises.

Windscion Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 UGHly, crowded and bandwidth hog is what those screens say to me. Oh! I forgot to say intrusive. Hate at first sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissBizz Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I think those mock-ups look fantastic! To me they are much more modern and user-friendly. I really hope to see a mobile friendly version! Sometimes I just want to look up some mods while board on a drive (while I'm not driving of course) or something like that. Sometimes a great mod catches your eye and I "track" it so it's easy to find when I get home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkwhiz888 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 will each section work like a drop down menu or transition between tabs/tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opusGlass Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I really hope you guys have considered adding "normalized" mod sorting options alongside the current ones. For example "endorsements per download," "downloads per view," etc. I'd like to be able to find quality mods that never reached celebrity status, and it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to implement. In any case, love the wireframes! I'm sure Nexus is going to come out of this much better than it went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
