At the bottom of the mods listing in my mods it says comments and last comment made....can also sort by last comment made.

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

I'm with you KT. We don't need change. Change is a result of bean counters getting their dirty, crooked little grubs into something. I am leery of any new software change in the digital age because the changes usually only help the bean counters inject more commercialism (or collect more personal data). RIP old Nexusmods. You were once a pure, beautiful place for enthusiasts and artists to share their talents with a loving community that was uncorrupted by the evil smell of money.

Agree 100%. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

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.

Please keep the https://old.nexusmods.com active forever so the people that doens't like the new design like me can have an alternative.

Or at least give us more personalization on the new design, because there are some really awful stuff that would be nice be able to change or disable.

I guess you guys saw the negative comments in here so i wont just stupidly bash:
the new design is good in its IDEA but there are just to many things that are wrong for the site:
- the Mod descriptions. its awful to go to a mod and sometimes really have to search for the description, cuz some people like to have long text in both the short description and the long one
- the size. many elements are just unnecesary big or placed bed like example the stuff in the download section of a mod (if a mod has for example 30 optional downloads its really a pain in the ass to go through)or the description tab in the whole (there is like a third blank place in the tab for description while the font is so small)
- performance (i guess this will be fixed). it takes (for me as example) 4 times as long to load sth in compare to the old site
- description in hot files. the most hot files dont have a proper name so the adding of the short description would be nice. also maybe make a 5 files the same size (i mean I really looks ridculously huge and i have a 1360x860 laptop monitor)

i see thelayout has some similarities with mobile apps or Steam so i guess the goal is to connect it with Vortex or have both same layouts. while i guess the idea for the UI in a manager/launcher/downloader is okay (it should be made more compact imo) its horrible to have this for a website where the peoplewont to have much information as possible in less space than it is now

i think if you guys go with making the UI more compact the site will get better and get less negative comments


PS: to the people who just Post "its shitty, i dont like it, you are stupid, i hate the design but use nexus because its best place but still hate u all" try to write what exactly is wrong what you hate on the new design so the Nexus Team can edit everything to everybodys preference. If a teacher would just insult you after you do sth wrong, i guess you wouldnt also know what you did wrong, now wouldnt you? ;)

I agree with you completely.

Personally I like the new layout, I've been using it since the last post I believe and like it.

I totally agree with this assessment. I might be.. um.. presumptuous in saying it, but with some quick resizing on the side of the site elements (Aren't websites fairly easy to resize with new web developemnt tech?), this design would be fine, or at least less difficult for me to use on Desktop.

They can't keep the old design forever. It would be way too much work for them to maintain two websites.

Keeping https://old.nexusmods.com active forever would double the frontend development time, so it will be axed as soon as the redesign is fully complete and released.

As for more personalisation, you can use Stylus to write custom CSS to tweak the website until Nexus makes the website more customisable, which you can request on the Nexus website bugtracker. Edited November 16, 2017 by ExEBoss

Since the nexusmods still is the best site for mods to me, i will stuck with you, but when the old design is shut down and only the new site is available, well.... i will stuck with you, but i will hate you forever at the same time for making me use the new design and i will hate myself for using it and not leaving nexus and i will hate everything from then on.
I hate the new design so much and i hate you for creating it.
I hate you.
