icecreamassassin Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think that people are always hesitant when it comes to change but now that I feel I've adjusted to this new layout I can easily say that it frankly is terrible IMO. Never mind the fact that it is 10 times slower than the old system and causes people to spam the submit button and end up with 2, 3 or more identical posts and replies (which is reason enough to roll back frankly), but I agree that the important stats about downloads and endorsements are very obscure to see. The documentation is also even harder to access and we mod authors already have a hard enough time getting some users to RTFM already. I was also highly annoyed by the initial lack of indentation on the post boards individual comment threads which made it difficult to tell where one convo started and another ended, but luckily they have since tweaked that. All in all this a FAR from the fantastic overhaul they promised and while I realize it's only the first phase, it's still worth noting that if this is the direction they are headed it's just making things difficult for everyone. I'm also annoyed that they have thus far done nothing to fix categories in the Skyrim modding section such as separating legitimate follower mods (voiced followers) out from the rabble of waifu mods (vanity followers) that are pumped out like a factory, which STILL causes me to want to block the follower tag which results in blocking legitimate mods that happen to include followers (like my own mod). Despite being told otherwise, my suggestion has gone ignored I guess. But I digress. Generally I give the site redesign a 2/10 thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedomFighter4 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'm not gonna sift through a thousand plus comments to find out if it's already been said but the simplest solution to me is that if they're pushing this hard to force the redesign on the majority of users who've disliked it from what i've read from the last 5 page alone. Just add a new setting that allows you to decide which design you wish to use as a default. That way people who want to keep the old design aren't give the old bird/finger. Been using the Nexus for years and not once in my mind did I find a problem with the UI, maybe a few tweaks that could be added/improved but definitely not a whole redesign.

guichong Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Whoa, i think the site literally just changed as i was refreshing it because it was being laggy. So far i like the font it's nice and sharp and easy on the eyes, but the rest will take some time getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crankgorilla Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I just got put to the new design. It's horrible and simplistic. Basic. I know how this stuff works and stripping it back for functionality caters to tablets and phones more than PC's. It wasn't laggy. I've used this site on an old crapbox PC with 1.5g ram and it was fine. Looks like a beta for touchscreens. I laugh but I am sad. How you supposed to mod on a Iphone? Wrong audience for the design. This ain't Itunes. smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted133263User Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) @Dark0ne Another problem found : All the following pages .. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6837 https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/22368 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1840 https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20032 On the old site have a Mirrors Tab, they all link to each other, and the AFK Mods Development topic On the new site - They are conspicuous by their absence (The whole Mirror Tab, not just individual links) Edit : Ah frig, nevermind, the mirrors have now moved into one of those annoying expandable things pushing the main description down and taking up space where its not wanted, instead of being a Tab anymore.

Visdagon Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) I hate the new layout. Very Much. I had 0 issues with the old. The new attacks my senses. You should have altered the old, not burned it down to make way for the new. Like all the modern games dumbing down their interface and function for consoles. Its like a virus spreading.

CaptainDaydream Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The redesign is horrid, but you already have heard and ignored that. If I go to /old.nexus I can browse and click stuff and stay there. If a mod author has a link on their page to their other work it's not keeping me in the old nexus format but jumping to the new headache inspiring pages.

FREDDIEFLEX Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Well, -"we're still allowing users to access the old website design" - they completely ignore the users requests...hm. The modders and the users made the nexus what it is today, although the idea behind this platform with no doubt was ingenious. But its all about money, isn't it? I had my share of work in the media (print) and I learned the real money is not made with the content but with promotion, advertisement, comercials (there is only one word in german: Werbung). Nothing wrong with makin some money with a good idea - but this new design is just good for creatin more space for advertisements. Sad but true..the Nexus comunity is dead..

As if mod authors were meant to serve this "community" for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
