This is the first I've heard about it?

These are the news I found about the redesing of the site... It's been a while and have been announced in every step.

I missed all of those, I was busy doing clinicals at a hospital all that time

pedantic wrote: Nothing to do with being timid, weak, or an under achiever. 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, there'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.

So how's Windows 10 treating you?

EDIT: Oh and Nexus, please fix your emoticons. I mean... who wrote the parsing algorithm that thinks my capital D was meant to be a smiley face?


@sevencardz

It's the reason why I don't use emoticons. And I disable it. But really that's not the solution if you like using emoticons and not having your brackets translated into a smiley face when using it outside of the context of a emoticon. Edited by Guest

The one in the navbar looks to be for your more generic "I want to find a mod with this text in it" type searches, as as such it fulfills the purpose of being readily available on all pages. For your more in depth searches, such as limiting to a specific category, or a certain set of attributes, they will most likely have a side panel on a specific search page.

I'm not a fan of tiles, but whatever. It looks good. I just have one question. Will we finally be able to clean out our "download history"? I've downloaded a lot of mods and I haven't kept a lot them, but they're still there... lurking... That list is getting pretty long.

i use google to search for mods, it is faster to go straight to the mod than mess around with a slow site, and a hard to use search option on the slow site.

 

Not specifically talking about this site, just saying if the new set up is slow and and hard to use, that may be why people go straight past the news. And if the news is in the way making people scroll up and down to find what they are looking for, then that will decrease interest.

 

I did not look at the video of the new site, I am just saying that is what I do on all sites. hard to find the download button, and I am gone looking else where.
