Redesign Launch - Stage 2 in progress

[tomascarney]

I personally find the redesign to be very visually appealing, however, I believe that the category icon should be where it used to be in the old version so that all the mods aren't jumbled together and I can find the quest mods that I really like.

RE: Images

 

Good that you allow Drag&Drop to Images. BAD that you do not allow MULTIPLE D&D's to any site: Mods, Images or any other. BAD that you no longer allow D&D to Mods' Images. You have lost D&D to Mods' Images from prior edition. Please replace ASAP.

Unlike former functionality, we cannot D&D multiple images to any image site. Should be.

 

[Edit] 11-21-17

Just posted a D&D pic to Supporter Images. Yay! D&D also worked on Mods' Images tonight. Yay!

Looking for a suitable regular image to try in Images.

 

@Dark0ne et al. :

I have whined about the Images-loading functions, off and on, for years... You have allowed this. Mostly. I will make a point to comment on improvements as they appear. You all have been tolerant. I have an obligation to be fair. And grateful.

 

Thanks!

Not only are you wasting vast amounts of screen space making images, buttons, and text larger than they need to be, but you're seriously hurting the UX when it comes to grouping things because of how spread out important things become when you're spacing them out as much as material design does.

 

I get that material design is really popular right now, but that's because mobile is in general growing as a platform, and more people browse the web on mobile. The problem *here* is that you guys seem to have hired UI designers to design UIs, and not think about their audience for whom they're designing. When your primary use case is to serve up information concisely on a primarily desktop based platform, material design is a horrible choice. The old site isn't perfect, but it's worlds better about this specific issue. You could do a lot better by just taking the current site and actually using the full width of the screen, rather than the middle third. I'd like to reiterate: I'm here to download mods for my PC games, not Candy Crush. I have a 16:9 display, not a 9:16 display(w:h). Stop wasting all of that screen real estate and stop wasting peoples time scrolling past all the empty boxes.

i could've agreed with that most elements in the new website is taking up too much space making less information displayable without scrolling, but the way you form your opinions are so bad, almost as if you're trying to boss around the nexusmod's developers, while asserting everything as "material design" making it hell lot obvious you are severely lacking of adequate knowledge on the purpose of re-design which has been addressed by site owner dozens of time, fitting just right for a very arrogant, self-entitled and short-sighted person hated by most majority. Nexus Mods is by far one of the places with most self-centred individuals, sadly to say that. action of judging and demanding are what makes so many mod authors to lock their post sections or hide their mods and now we can see it finally targets the entire site.

fad platform... Oh you mean like how websites are only building a javascript webpage instead of both? Where have I seen this before? Youtube!

1997 was a good year! The 1996 Telecommunications act was passed and actually did something back then! Oh and I bought my first gameboy with money I had saved for a year! (I was 6-7) But besides that, the site doesn't really serve a purpose on mobile. I have a feeling that the increase in traffic on mobile is actually because of youtube (and the fact that it's mobile friendly with 3 different versions, an app, the mobile page, and the desktop). Dark hasn't come out and disclosed what mobile users are actually doing and what pages are being hit most with mobile devices. If people are just replying to comments (the old forums look great on mobile, tried it out when this new layout started... No I mean the FORUM site that is boring and hasn't changed in well over 5 years -- except maybe the provider a few times), if they are using the search page to look for mods (WTF?), or are just going straight to a mod page then leaving without doing anything (indicates link followers like youtube trolls).

 

 

I disagree. I browse on mobile when I can't get to my pc and for years the only internet I had was on my cell phone. That's not the case now, but I still download a lot to my phone first and transfer it my pc when I get home. So, yeah.....mobile friendly *does* have a purpose.

Will you add wallpapers in the background of each specific game like the old layout? Little sick of seeing Skyrim all over the joint

[LeviSkata]

Yes. It's now a lot harder as it has to be responsive, so it's something we'll tackle after the launch.

I can't tell what's a button and what is not, and can't fix my eyes on anything, making using the site really difficult for me. It basically looks like one monolithic mess.
I don't understand why you had to make the redesign this way.

This!

"I can't tell what's a button and what is not"

This is the problem of all smartphone app layouts and should not be used on desktops.

Image uploads on the RD site have been broken for a few days now, the progress bar never completes. Afterwards it also may happen that the image is uploaded twice, or either the thumbnail or full size image don't work.

I know no matter what we say you will not reverse your autodesign but here are a couple of suggestions/comments:

 

Give us an option for search results (and other list locations) which are simple minimalistic no picture lists.

 

The current searches seem remarkably slower than before

 

Add the update date to search results - and put your date last downloaded on the mod download page - and not just on the description page.

 

And just a quick aside, maybe premimum members should NOT be connecting to doubleclick.net.
