Redesign Launch - Stage 2 in progress

[chrisj165]

Hope you do keep the old on for those that don't like the new design, i'm not a fan of the new site myself, it's not all bad i'd just rather use the old site.

[Ellexius]

In no way am I trying to undermine your guys' efforts and work - not the case at all - but I do have some criticism regarding the newer site design.

 

I have been on it for about a week, using it as much as I can. I still have problems "seeing" where everything's at. Like, it's very difficult for me to navigate through the site. I'm assuming it's because of the more modern, borderless design that it holds. It is massively frustrating for me and it gives me a literal headache from the eyestrain.

 

I'm really not trying to take anything away from it. It looks good, and it's obvious that a lot of time was put into it which is something I really appreciate. I love seeing hard work getting payed off, and I'm glad a lot of others are enjoying the new site design. (It just isn't for me)

 

I hope that you can mitigate this by having an option to keep the old design for myself and others available to continue using. Thank you for listening!

It was good as it was. Never touch a working system. If only they would have made it better, but that is not the case. Nothing is better at all. At least not for the user. Maybe there were technical reasons to do this crap. But to me as a user, i feel f*#@ed by nexus.
I know i am not able to change it and nobody will listen to me or my feelings about this and at least it is not my website, it is theirs, so nobody will give a single f*** about my opinion, but what i can do is tell them every other day, that i hate it forever and ever and i hate the nexus team for changing it. They need to know even if nobody cares. In a democracy, thats the least i can do. Using my right to stand up and say "I hate you". So thats what i do.

At least more as if i just would remain silent. I know it is of no use. But it is not my duty to be of use for anybody. I have to endure the new design. So you have to endure my criticism. And i in return have to endure your criticism of my criticism. Circle of life.

Freeloading complainers like you don't realize that you do indeed have the power to cause changes in the design of the website. However, only if you are actually able to verbally express yourself in a way that explains your grievances and what the developers could do to improve the situation. Stop crying, stop complaining, try and help the developers improve on the things you feel are bad.

It's a situation where nobody loses, everybody wins and the website improves.

schnubbel76 wrote: Lava Croft, ok, heres what the developers can do to improve the situation. Give us the option to switch back to the old website. Then im fine. No complaining anymore.

It would counter productive to run two versions of the site.

Redesign

Nobody asked for it. Nobody wanted it. Now it's forced on us anyway.

It's basically a massive step backwards for Nexus.

Search is now useless due to complete arbitrary "definitions". Layout is the same as every other shitty website out there. Simply put, if it isn't broke, don't ram it down my throat!!!

How about a choice NOT to use this AWFUL new "design"?

Is there another place on the site I can view my 'Updates' besides the dropdown menu at the top? For some reason I cannot keep it open as I scroll down, it keeps closing. It would be easier to just go to a page with the Updates listed-is there an URL for that? Thanks!

Are you planning to pay for the development time spent supporting a legacy layout?

[sniperfodder]

I think my biggest complaint with the new design is I can't permanently enable it. When I follow links from the NMM they show up in the old version. The other problem is the "Try the new version" link re-directs to the main page, instead of redirecting to the page you were on when you clicked the try new version banner.

I am not having much difficulty using it at all. I didn't have any problems with the old one either and also saw no reason to get rid of it. Nevertheless, its gone people, and is this really that bad? Be more specific, cause a lot of us have no problem with it at all.

[GIRRRRRR]

Really dislike the new layout. I like that hot files is in the same place.

 

While it takes less clicks to get to new and trending mods the website itself takes longer to load and it is much much much harder to parse information on the screen. As a personal thing i really don't like how the new layout seems to be a rainbow of grey and i don't think it helps my troubles of differentiating between mods and reading text.

 

It feels like change for the sake of change which is frustrating.
