Is this because since it is replaced by Ads, you guys don't bother changing the background image or something?Anyways, thanks!The background image gripe will be fixed once the new design replaces the old.

Tamara Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'm really sorry, but all in all, after using the new layout every day, I'm not happy with the changes, so I'm going to stick with the old layout as long as you will have it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the new site, if you click "Mods" or "Browse all mods" at the top, you get a better layout of the old "Files" or "Browse files" page, which, by the way, has a sidebar with a long advanced search form, of which the most used options are now simple dropdowns in the new layout.

Bababuschka Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) It would be interesting to get a check mark or some other form of indication for mods you have already installed on the browse page, not dissimilar to how it is on the Steam Workshop page, or you're current notification of a mod update since previous download. If possible too, a time stamp would be convenient as well. Edited November 2, 2017 by justabunchorandomnumber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a modder, I see this as something that helps level the playing field. Edited November 2, 2017 by fireundubh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a modder, I see this as something that helps level the playing field.Comparing a 54-word paragraph to a wall of text is exactly why mod authors have such a serious problem with users who refuse to read instructions.Not every mod has a graphical function. I'd rather trade that huge thumbnail for text; losing the "oh no, wall of text" users would be a most welcome bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
