Once again, the mobile minority ruin an entire website for everyone else just by existing. I'm not even going to keep trying to make my point, it'll just fall on deaf ears anyway.

 

They aren't a minority, not at this stage of the internet.

 

forum.nexusmods.com still works like it used to.

 

Though there is a valid point here... m.facebook.com vs facebook.com <- huge amounts of data, free hosting, no limits on viewing content, completely different sites and designs, able to download massive files (yes you can download your profile, all of it multiple times for no reason). unlimited 'private' messaging, voice chat, group chat, bunch of features, news feeds, following, friends, forums (in the form of a wall) and theyve been around for a similar length of time (they might be 5 years older, but this is a community of resource hackers, texture creators, configuration tweakers, ui developers, and coders - someone out there has to have a real solution.

 

This update is free mandatory dlc by the looks of it.

"once again", meaning it's happened to another site.
"They aren't...at this stage of the internet", meaning all of the internet, not the site.

18% on this site is pretty insane, and I used my phone for the first time to look at this thread through the link that was sent to my email. It takes me to the forum page. Which works fine on mobile and it's pretty easy to use. So I'm even more confused as to why mobile is even being considered for the main site's design unless the goal is to leave the forum site behind.

The issue is that this design makes it easier to use on mobile but harder to use on pc, despite this being a file sharing website for pc games. There's not really a need for a website intended to be used for pc file sharing to be mobile friendly, especially when it comes at the expense of ease of use on desk/laptop.

But, i find that the file tab is a bit less efficient that the previous one. I think that it uses too much vertical space and not enough vertical space.
Here are 2 of the alternatives i've worked on that may be more efficient and ease for the eye/brain.
a) File display alternative A
b) File display alternative B

pintocat wrote: B doesn't work for all, because some authors think the download description is where giant banner images should be, like this https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73937

@pintocat, why would that not work for them ? Their BBcode-based descriptions would still be properly displayed, only with a table of stats next to them. The new design does not affect the size of those images

The scrollbar on the right (green) stays on display, although there is nothing to scroll.

Using Firefox.

axonis wrote: I'm using Firefox too and I don't have this issue. I wonder though, how did you manage to display your image without those link overlays ?

ScrollTron1c wrote: 1. Press the square button for fullscreen
2. Don't move the mouse for ~5 secs

You're right and I can confirm your issue on Firefox now.

This is probably a stupid question, how do I get the new design to be the default version? Since this is going to eventually be the only version of the site, I'd rather rip the band-aid off now and get used to it.

How do I filter search resualts by mod categorie? I could with the old design but seems missing with the new one.

 

Edit: Nevermind I found it is a collasped drop down option.. not a side panel.

So far I don't like it at all. 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 hope you don't get rid of the old version.

Really hate the new design. Dislike the "windows 10" style clean look. its harder to differentiate between thumbnails and read things and it takes longer find what I'm looking for compared to the old layout. Really disappointing, changing it seems pointless in the first place. Edited October 28, 2017 by GIRRRRRR

Really liking the new layout guys, nice and clean :)

The download history is in the same drop-down menu as before (only now named "Mods" instead of "Files").
