VulpesHilarianus Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Did some searching using a couple of different metrics. According to Alexa, SimilarWeb, and Quantcast Nexus Mods had a major traffic decrease when the website redesign launched. Also according to Alexa and Quantcast only 44% of users are switching to the new layout. Many are choosing old.nexusmods.com to use the site. For the Wayback Machine in the months of October and November the most popular saved versions were the old Nexus layout, with less than 1/3 being the new layout. People don't like it. I urge you, please, delay the launch of the redesign until the usability issues are sorted out. The massive amounts of wasted space, lack of contrasts, abhorrent element sizing, and focus on mobile for a PC-centric website are making people uncomfortable and having them avoid the site.EDIT: Also the forums are screwing up and not letting me post the entire comment.

NCRForever Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I don't like the new redesign. I hope it's not forced onto us. Please keep it as a choice. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be cofusing for some at first but I think overall the design is great and more cool looking.The site addresses are the same except put the prefix "rd" in front of nexusmods.com all the directories on the site are still the same. So rd.nexusmods.com/fallout3/news13353 is the same as nexusmods.com/fallout3/news13353.You could also do some network hack to forward you to rd.nexusmods.com and if the site doesn't return anything to then forward you to nexusmods.com (this would indicate that the change is final). This will cause pages to load slower though. Would be really cool to see the rd site to be the 'beta' version of the site after this is moved to the stable release. It could seriously just forward the person to the new version but Dark would need to be the one to make this change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm trying to make it better with feedback. I also want to point out that the old site is the default. "nexusmods.com" is the old version and doesn't force the user to switch. There is an annoying button at the top that even the old.nexusmods.com has plastered on it.I don't think they'll release an unfinished product, they don't have a publishing company racing to make a return on the investment... But then there's Fallout 4 which took 5 years and is plagued with bugs, Starcraft 2 which is mostly bug free but has a limited game engine (supporting very small files in comparison to other games) and took 10 years, and HalfLife 3 which according to a Fallout 4 cartoon, is still in development in 2077.

pacfish Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Here's a suggestion: Allow me to order my favorite games. Alphabetical suck. If myspace did that, Tom wouldn't even be a metric on the top 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting sub-100 KB/s for everything 95% of the time, and it's been like this since yesterday. Dunno if that's something that I should bring to attention or not; I haven't seen anybody else talk about it. Normally I get 14/15 MB/s uncapped. For reference, I'm downloading from rd.nexusmods.com. Maybe it's different for the old site; I haven't tried downloading from there yet.As you're Premium, is this happening on every single server you download from? We have Premeium servers in three different geographic locations (and two continents) so if it's bad on all of them, I think it's likely to be on your end (likely your ISPs end) and not ours. I've primarily been using the North America server. If I continue to get slow download speeds today, I'll switch servers and see if the issue remains.

SkeldHailstorm Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 By what I've seen, the response to the new design has been overwhelmingly negative.Why do they still keep it up? The current one is just right. Why fix it if it isn't broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the vast majority of people who visit the site will be using that one, and not the rd domain used to preview the new site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
