Makron8 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I'm just curious what the heck "Mod Manager" download means. Is it supposed to mean "Vortex Mod Manager" download and they just forgot to add the name? And why would you reveal the name of the Vortex Mod Manager in a post months earlier to then completely omit it?

Specially if one would read the news article about vortex, or the newest one where they say it will be launched as alpha soon - so it's not out yet, so you cannot actually download to vortex, so there's no point to say Download to Vortex.. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came at it without actually reading the News Article, so it could be construed as ignorantly complaining. It's been quite a ride hearing about how NMM updates were breaking things and then how Mod Organizer is the new de facto mod manager then about how Vortex is NMM 2.0 which fixes everything. I just want to make sure that I don't accidentally break my quite extensive mod list, so I'm a bit more wary than usual..

ZachTheGuy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 ...I'm sorry Nexus, I love ya but this redesign is a total disaster. The site is now harder to use, I have fewer options to choose from in the browsing screen, and everything takes longer to find. I guess it looks a little more modern? But the functionality has taken a nosedive. I'd love an option to go back and use the traditional format, it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashiki Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 In regard to site compatibility, I use Firefox (latest version) and have absolutely no compatibility problems with the redesigned Nexus site. Saying "latest version" really doesn't mean much. Builds based around Chrome 59/early 60 releases would fail. Same with Firefox/waterfox builds based around core 56.0/56.0.x not including the 56.0.3 builds. FF57 seems to be mainly stable and properly working. If on the other hand, you were using Waterfox 56(nov17) it was 100% broken. Palemoon which uses a fundamentally different way of dealing with the standards works 100% of the time though.

lightswornknight Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The new design is a complete disaster on the latest Firefox for me..a fix would be permanently being able to access the old format or for users having trouble in general. It was simple, faster loading and I can locate everything I need to locate & do. On top of slow and sluggish loading time, I still appreciate the work that went into the site overhaul but it's not for everyone especially me. I personally rather have the old aesthetic with better functionality then this new design and a hell hole of funtionality, I don't really care about the "modern look" I'm just here in and out for mods.
