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

Having a slow and limited internet connection and the forced gallery of images make browsing the nexus a chore and not something I'll be doing nearly as often as I did.

No separate new files and tracked files a huge gallery of images, mostly skimpy in nature, being forced to load - and with no way to limit or turn them off(I mean, come on, who comes to the nexus to look at images).

The news tab is now a permanent feature, despite hardly ever being updated. And no quickely checking if any tracked files have been updated.

Another thing, being on a slower connection page tend to fail to load if they have a lot of images on them, and now not having a dedicated login page, I've only just managed to login to the nexus thanks to the ton of images loaded.

They aren't trying to fix anything here, they are tying to improve it. Something doesn't have to be broken in order to be improved. The games we mod aren't necessarily broken, yet we improve them with mods. Should we just stop making mods that are things other than bug fixes? If we never tried to improve upon things unless they were broken in some way we would never see anything progress.

The current website layout feels very out-dated and doesn't utilize page space efficiently. The new website layout has some things that could be improved, but for the most part it is much better than the current design.

Gez and I once thought Bethesda's site layout was bad.

New design is fine. Maybe a little slower than the old site, but I'm sure that when any glitches are worked out, the changes will be an non issue. I'm running this on a 2560x1440 monitor, and it looks a lot better than the old site. If it's a little slow for some of you, try the new version of Firefox... It's a lot faster.

Dziggy what are you smoking and can i have some of that sh. Bethesda games are famously VARY broken and the new layout utilizes page space more efficiently?

You and I must be using a different site, then, because everything's pretty much precisely where it was on the old site. So far, I haven't found anything that isn't available on the redesigned site that was available on the old site.

 

As for the "page space" issue, I'd much rather this than too much information. And besides, what would you suggest they fill the page space with? You DO realize that the old site had way more page space than the new one, right? Look at all the blank space.

 

I'd like to know what YOU'RE smoking.

[sopmac45]

The new design is great, looks more professional and I like the big icons and the layout.

 

I understand that some people do not like it at all and would like to stick to the old design. Well, unfortunately, the old one will be gone soon and the new one will take place.

 

Soon, we will have Vortex and NMM will be gone too. The process started to change the entire Nexus and it is on its last lap. Let's embrace it and enjoy it folks cause there is no way back to what it was before, simply like that !

not sure why people are so upset about them making it more phone friendly.... it really isnt hurting anything. and as far as i can tell theres nothing the old layout does better than the new one outside of personal preference..

As a mod uploader, I would like to vehemently disagree with the OP: the new format works fine, and, with a couple of exceptions *cough*MovingAndRenamingNotifications*cough* :D it is just as, and in some cases more usable than the old format. Like any other change, you have to use it for a while to get used to it.

Even better, unlike many 'public' web redesigns, the Nexus team opened up instant bug reporting to us unwashed masses and has been extremely responsive (less than 24 hours- astonishing) in acknowledging and fixing reported bugs. :thumbsup:

it's impossible to do anything ... the old one (...) worked just fine

No, it's not, and no, it didn't. You may not like the look, but saying 'it doesn't work' is fallacious.

this new layout is going to be forced down everyones throat

Please post the name and address of everyone who is holding a gun to your head making you use the Nexus. Bethesda CC is ready when you are. :laugh: :woot: :teehee:

This change is change for it's own sake (...) unneeded and unnecessary.

Please cite an example or post your back-end web-design credentials to render your opinion credible.

I could do this all night, but I came here to browse mods. Free mods. In the new format. Peace. :wub:

Well, besides the fact that I got a migraine the first time I saw the new design, I'll probably adapt to the new one. Personally, I don't think it's user-friendly in my honest opinion. Oh well, change had to happen eventually, I guess. Edited November 16, 2017 by marauder345

If I remember correctly I have disliked every iteration of tesnexus at first, and when nexusmods rolled out I think I may have disliked that also. The new design is slick though and it scales very well on a 4K screen so I appreciate that. The single page design will also be great once I am used to it and know where everything is.

Thanks for all the hard work and continual site maintenance/file hosting. These site hubs have been my homepage for years! It is crazy to think I've been here for over a decade.

Exactly. I remember how when the last update happened, the same people who are now strongly against the new design, and want to keep the current site how it looks and works, were with the same enthusiasm hating the same changes they now all want to keep. Life is change. You have to move on. It won't be that bad when you get used to it. And when the next changes come, mark my words, you are going to hate them too, while shouting how you want to keep things how they are. Edited November 16, 2017 by starfis

Farewell old fella. Welcome to the new website, I hope the issues get ironed out and the old stuff gets put to rest once and for all.

[LadyHonor]

I do hope by the time all the bugs are worked out it's a little more edge friendly. There are several things on here that don't play well with edge. Uploading images is one of them.
