Sounds like a adware I had a couple of months ago. Scan your system.

The new site looks so good, can't wait until it's done.

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?

endgameaddiction wrote: @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.

That would be assuming the wheel was flawed and square from the get go which it wasn't. The wheel was round, the perfect shape for mobility and thus there would be no need to reinvent it, just add on to it and improve it, like giving it a sturdy layer. Not toss it out the window and replace it with a recolored copy of some other guy's crusty wheel that has fancy bells and whistles tied to it.

Madcat221 wrote: It is "broke" (as in flawed) because of one critical aspect based on a trend citing obsolete data about users' screen sizes that refuses to go away across the Internet. I for one am glad that the garbage mashers on the detention level will be shut down.

Even with a zoom of 120%, the current layout still feels so cramped into the middle on my screen.

Yeah, but then nobody would ever deliberately use it on purpose, so...

I love this really updated look of the site. Really modern and the navigation looks way easier. Will the site be mobile friendly now?

FlyIgnite · August 14, 2016

I just hope the site speeds up. It has been horribly slow on my end and im annoyed because of it

Aglara · August 14, 2016

I really like the new design! one thing i would like to see kept from the old site though is the side bar images. Kinda a minor thing, but it's something I've always liked. When can we expect this to go live?

bayblackfox · August 14, 2016

Definitely like the path the new look is going. It looks more intuitive and professional along with looking inviting and easy to use. You most certainly will have my support for this moving forward.

BaSsGaz · August 14, 2016

Please focus of ease of use rather than flamboyancy, Focus of on the interaction of uses between each others, I think the comments section of mods need an overhaul, else, the site is simple, fast and good as is!

Harmonawaith · August 14, 2016

I like the tabs feature for the site news (at present it can be hard to find if new to site), and most of the video seems to be focused on organization and ease of access (like favorite games) for the site upgrades. Looks like a great idea to me. Kudos to the team.
