gadinel Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I'm well aware that this new design will be imposed on us whether we like it or not and that any comment or complain is merely a waste of time and webspace. So just for the records, visually the design is gruesome ugly. It's not as easy to navigate as the old one and some elements are simply to large. What I miss most is flat view for browsing through the modlists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinpark Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 yes i find it hard to navigate and not as clear as the old one. Seems typical these days, I suspect maximized for mobile viewing, not sure why as I suspect most people here use a PC or Laptop to play the game.

rick0307 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Is there a list of improvements /additions to the site? Where can I find it? Drag & Drop to "Images" is a huge step. Showing Thanks!! Showing "Supporter Images" and "Post Supporting Images" on the main Images page is huqe. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tesnexus8 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Searching within a Category no longer works, e.g. you can't go to Armor and search for "Crimson" any more and have it find Crimson Twilight Armor: instead, you get a ton of noise for things like Crimson Nirnroot retextures etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eolhin Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I have tried to use the new layout, but rather then taking me to the new version of the Nexus page I am on, it only takes me to the new Nexus front page, and every one of my bookmarks only take me to the old version of the sight. I have a massive tree of bookmarks for various mods, and there is no way I can hunt every one of them up on the new sight, or type in the new version of the URL for every page I want to go to. I had hopped that clicking on "View new layout" would either switch all of my nexus browsing to the new layout, or at the least switch the layout for the page that I was on, but that is not the case. It is unusable for me, the way it is currently. The few glimpses I have had of it are overly cluttered and hard to find things on, but there is no way that I can get used to the new version, when every link takes me back to the old version, and there is no way to reach the new version of a given page without manually typing in the URL, or doing very extensive searching.

Which search function are you using? The search bar at the top or the "Refine results" function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find my file history, I don't think it is as user friendly as the old one and it reminds me of Steam Workshop. Plus I'm a big fan of "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

I liked just bringing up Skyrim SE Nexus and only seeing Skyrim SE Nexus. I don't need to see all the games. Seeing them is not going to make me want to play them. It's just harder to use on a daily basis. Just because they changed it dose'nt mean I have to embrace it. I will use it begrudgingly because I have no choice but I think they should hear the feedback for when they change it next time, and there will be a next time. Yes my grasshopper, there's always a next time.FlashFatman wrote: AND it still reminds me of Steam Workshop!Accessing the tracking center seems pretty functionally identical to me, unless I'm misunderstanding you. You aren't sent back to the Nexus hub unless you select to change games, which is the same as the old design.
