Neither is it how it "looks" that's important to me (The same can be said for a good game). It's how it functions for everyone which should be a sites' primary concern. Fix what's broken by all means, adopt new technology by all means. But it seems to me, in this day and age, that actions are taken simply because they can be taken and for no other practical reason. So, instead of fixing what's broken a little at a time, we're plunged into months of constant change while the little necessary changes are incorporated into a premature overhaul to make the Nexus look like every other site. I love the Nexus because it isn't like every other site. The new "random" mod idea smacks of PSN and the rest looks just like, as others have said, (ugh..) Bethesda. The download shortcut might cause issues, too, for mod makers. It's a great idea but poorly thought through imho. However, if the shortcut were to take folk to the mod description page, similar to the current preview, then maybe the install instructions, requirements, and README.TXT (which so many don't) would be adhered to more often, leaving our brilliant mod makers to do what they do best. I can see the benefit of the shortcut if, for whatever reason, I'm re-downloading a mod. Hey, here's an idea: The shortcut only goes live if you've previously downloaded said mod - the same way you're not able to endorse a mod prior to download. Me? I love change but not simply for the sake of it. Quote Terrible advice that applies only to the timid and those that achieve nothing.So how's Windows 10 treating you?

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. Quote ForeverZer0 wrote: I'm actually kind of glad it's like this. It does wonders to keep unnecessary flame-wars that spark up in comments section from going on too long. (See YouTube comments lol)But I can also see the benefits, so perhaps make it a setting that can be turned on/off. Or a setting that makes it so you only get notifications when a mod author from the mod you downloaded replies to your post? Idk Quote urielz wrote: That's true. Also adding the ability to block/ignore people would alleviate the problem. Quote starfis wrote: I think direct reply notifications would be nice. Sometimes you are asking something on a very old mod page and it could take months before someone answers.

I can't even get to my own mod pages from the main page because tapping on Files deploys the dropdown menu for 0.1 seconds before loading the Top Files page because phones don't have mouseover events. Quote This is by no means final, but these are a few screens of how it will look on a phone. Looks great, but I'm curious how well it will scale. I have a slightly bigger phone and many sites go haywire and shrink into a corner or the navigation menu is off screen.

NonameFTW Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Someone else probably already said it but: Downloading a mod without even having a look at the description... yeah bad Idea. Not sure if that should be a feature... Another thing that comes to mind would be to kill steams last advantage: Account bound mods. Now an integration with Nexus and its Mod Manager would be completely optional for the user but the advantage would be to never loose mods you like and also be able to automatically let NMM download mods that you chose to use on your phone. The Nexus would have a Database Table in the Background of Mods that a User uses that is synched with the NMM. To help Authors the Database only saves endorsed mods (hey what a coincident that data does already exists. hehe). That means a user has to endorse a mod to permanently let the Nexus remember that he uses this. But unlike steam the Mod Manager will not of course automatically activate the mod but keep track of these mods and automatically download them if the user allows this. This way you will never loose track of the hundreds of mods you used in different games and easily download them. Now either endorsements would represent the amount of actual userbase (unendorse = unsynch) which would have the advantage for old incompatible mods or endorsements would still be possible without a synch (the user chooses).

Fiddlestickz Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I also just say don't fix what ain't broken for the PC. I know everyone looks at their smartphones nowadays, but make it optional should you consider this simplified interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesotough Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It's pretty promising. I think maybe users want to have an option to display their favorite games on the index page instead of all games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
