Heads up: New Nexus site design soon

[Hickory]

I don't see an option to view all of the endorsements for a mod. Only the discussion thread, and those who have commented. Has this feature gone?

[Zaldir]

Have to say I am not really liking the new format, I am sure a lot of time and effort was put into it, but honestly it is not better.

Exactly what is not better?

The new design isn't even on yet, and not even finished, and you say it's not better?

Maybe you dislike the color/design, but please explain WHAT you do not like.

 

I don't think it helps Dark0ne the least that people just say; "I don't like it", "I hate it" or something like that...

It IS indeed better, it just takes a bit of time to get used to. Keep up the awesome Nexus sites.

 

Edit: Hey is the stuff on the top new files?

The new format is not working for me. I can't do anything that's important such as check a files comments, images, file section, discussion, I can't even download a file now.

All I get to do is look at a file's description page but nothing else. In short the most important features of the site are now broken links for me and Im unsure what to do from here.

I'm not just a downloader either I have uploaded files to Fo3 and FNV nexus sites. Hopefully the kinks will be worked out soon I'm working on another mod now.

Care to share some helpful tid-bits? What browser and version are you using? Are you using any add-ons that block JavaScript or cookies?

 

I use Mozilla Firefox 6.0 and have none of the problems you are experiencing. Firefox is also the Nexus-recommended browser (so says me). I initially could not get content loaded when going tab to tab such as the Files tab, images tab, etc. but I realized NoScript was blocking it so once I allowed all scripts to run, it worked fine after that. Microsoft Internet Explorer is supported too but the very latest has some issues.

 

Dark0ne tries to make the site work well with Firefox and Internet Explorer...anything beyond that is just icing on the cake.

 

I will test the following browsers and update this post with my results.

 

Browsers to test:

• Firefox Portable 6.0
  
• Google Chrome Portable 13.0.782.112
  
• Iron Portable 13.0.800 (based on Google Chromium)
  
• Opera Portable 11.50
  
• Maxthon Portable 3.1.5.1000
  
• Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421
  

 

Check List Tests:

1. Can login and remain logged in from page to page (while browsing and downloading)
   
2. Can see mod page description, files, comments and images.
   
3. Can download mods over 2MB in size.
   
4. Can create mod page (modder action)
   
5. Can upload files to mod page (modder action).
   
6. Can upload images to mod page.
   
7. Can add comments on mod page.
   
8. Can upload images to imageshare (modder action).
   
9. Can add comments on imageshare.

Test results / notes for Google Chrome:

1. Success
   
2. Success
   
3. Success
   
4. Some Problems - Comment log thread refuses to be created and thus no comments can be added (says "Topic_Locked").
   
5. Success - However, there was a non-critical popup message saying "This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html"
   
6. Success
   
7. Success - Had to test this on my Blender page since my test upload could not generate a comment thread.
   
8. Success
   
9. Success
   

Side note: Holy-moly Batman! The staff "delete file" option is an instant delete link that asks for no verification. Scary indeed. Please add a confirmation for deletion since it is very possible we might be thinking "delete file" as in an individual file...not "delete mod page and all content"

NOTE: All tests were performed in its default "Ultra Mode" which is designed for modern sites using current web standards. The site did not function well in "Retro Mode" (for IE-Only sites) and was not tested since the layout and menu navigation was too hosed up to use.

Test results / notes for Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421

1. Success
   
2. Success - However, the Image Gallery does not work as intended but kinda functions.
   
3. Failed - Clicking on the link did nothing. IE does not see it as a hyperlink. Right-click shows a context dialog as if I were clicking on an empty area of the web page.
   
4. Some Problems - Comment log thread refuses to be created and thus no comments can be added (says "Topic_Locked").
5. Not Started
   
6. Success - However, there was a non-critical popup message saying "This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html"
   
7. Some Problems - Had to test this on my Blender page since my test upload could not generate a comment thread. Add comment works. Edit comment does nothing. Delete comment works.
   
8. Success
   
9. Some Problems - Add comment works. Edit comment does nothing. Delete comment works.
   

NOTE #1: There seems to be at least a 4 second delay no matter what page is displayed before any form controls or links can be clicked on...as if it has to process a script 1st. Clicking a link or text box too early does absolutely nothing and you have to wait until it is ready.

 

NOTE #2: The "Files - Images - Wiki - Competitions - Forums - Chat" menu bar across the top of the site did not work in IE9. Clicking on them did nothing and never displayed the dropdown menu. Add to use the links in the footer.

EDIT:

 

Based on the above test results, there is obviously a site issue when creating mod pages, it simply will not create a comment thread. This is not an issue with web browsers but with the site code that Dark0ne will have to fix.

 

It is clear that all tested browsers work with the main features of the site with the exception of the latest version of Internet Exploder 9.0. I need to run this test again on IE 8 to see how it works from just one rev back.

 

EDIT:

 

These issues have been resolved as of August 27, 2011 as noted by my re-test of these browsers here --> Click me

 

It should be noted that Internet Explorer 7 and below are not supported. If you are using IE and it is version 7 or lower, you either need to upgrade IE or switch to a different browser (for more reasons that just accessing this site!)

@ LHammonds

 

I'm using Internet Explorer for my browser. I suspect its the security settings, they are currently set to defualt.

 

I'm fairly certain that I have the latest version of Internet Explorer as my web browser and I am experiencing the problems you've listed in your web browser test. However the website does function on my Iphone.

 

 

ETA internet explorer ?

So here we are again. A site that used to work perfectly where you can find things easily, to a new design,that isn't needed that just f*#@s everything up! Forums cannot be accessed. Log in on a file page and get taken to your profile so you have to find the item again, and on and on!

 

There's a saying - if it ain't broke - don't fix it!

 

Doubt i'll be coming back to this site. You stole me from PES, now you are sending me back!

 

I can ban you now for being rude, in fact I have.

 

I am sure you won't be coming back to this site.

Uhh.. I think you're doing something wrong. Forums are fine. I logged out and in on a file, stayed on said file.

 

But hey, have fun!

 

EDIT by LHammonds: You can't reason with a troll...it would probably be difficult to enlighten them on the fact that the forums were not included in the Nexus redesign. The forums are mostly standard IP.Board forums. LOL
