Redesign Launch - Stage 2 in progress

[tekmage]

I am unsure about anyone else, but author tracking in tracking center still doesn't extend beyond page 1. I keep having to go back to the old design to what my favorite authors are up to.

This happened the last time they did an update, when the current design(2012-2017 era, if I recall correctly when it was implemented) was the "new" design. We said the same thing then, didn't change the course of action unfortunately. On the whole it was rather strange, because the original layouts of the Nexus felt very PC friendly. The new designs got shifted for "multiple/universal" platforms, meaning mobile, which doesn't make any sense because there's no community for modding on any platforms other than PC(and the consoles have been hamstrung by Bethesda controlling the content and site for it, so I don't factor them in).

Maybe it's just a result of amateur web-building, and site layout design(maybe no one is a visual artist or professional in user-friendly design, which I can understand), but after some years of doing this I really question why they keep shooting for redesigns that don't seem to improve usability, all against frequent calls by their users to go back to the old layouts.

The new design is good for viewing pictures, but awful for reading mod description and comments - they are too wide. Is it text length, overall gamma or whatever, but my eyes feel uncomfortable when I read something on the new design. It's still better than "Mom, I learned JS!" Bethesda.net, which is hard to navigate, but hiding changelog under "Logs" tab was a mistake - very few people will find it.

They probably won't. And IMO, there's nothing really wrong with the new design. I find it to be a lot more modern and easier to look at than the old design. The old design was alright, but I think the new one is so much better.

Don't fix something if it's not broken, the old one looked and worked just fine

Tyco1709 wrote: I find it funny how most people are using it just fine for everything but you say its impossible to do anything. Welcome to change. a much needed change btw. It works fine. Tbh i think it has less issue than the old layout.

This change is change for it's own sake nothing more totally unneeded and unnecessary.

Not a fan of the new design personally, but I guess the redesign's happening whatever we think.

easier to look at

To look at pictures - yes, but, as I said, reading texts became harder, IMO. If people complain about readability, then it means that:
1) they are crybabies and should be disregarded;
2) font size/colour may not suit all users, so you may try to give several options to choose from.
Sadly, developers considered only the first option. Edited November 15, 2017 by VictorDragonslayer
