Nebulous112 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I love the look of the new redesign. Only issue I have is with the ability to direct download without visiting the page. PLEASE remove this. Nexus should be encouraging responsible modding by forcing users to view the description page and download from the files tab. There is a lot of very useful information that I think users need to see on the description pagess. I figure this is kind of like you guys making news more visible in the redesign. It is important for us users to see the site news, so you make it far more visible. Please allow the description pages for mods to be as visible in the same sense.

They will complain it doesn't do "*this*", and while I know a few do that now (ie. download without bothering to find out what the mod actually does or doesn't do) it seems to me this will increase due to the intentional bypass of the description.

urielz Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Looks great so far. Is anything being done to improve communication between users/authors? Specifically, will users have the ability to know when someone replies to comments or quotes? I think this is a major issue with the site right now.

No mods for you!And it's not the authors job to tell you how to install mods. There are literally hundreds of guides teaching you how to do that. Have a little bit of wherewithal and learn to google. Or just RTFM. Most mod authors *do* explain how to install mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
