UX is terrible. why the f*** does everything have to be so big.

at least the search feature is fixed. having to click the search field twice was annoying

please keep the option to use old layout once roadmap is complete.

Ethreon wrote: There will be no old layout option anymore.

well that would be incredibly lame.

if they refuse to offer old layout, at least add some scaling options.

I dont need everything to look like a big-button telephone you give old folks, or a mcdonalds cash register

but they probably won't, because this is how they effectively made their advertisement banners larger.

Yea man, so lame of them not wanting to spend a truckload of money on holding two layouts, or piss off everyone who makes mod descriptions cause they don't look the same on each layout.

Want the smaller tiles, there's a feedback forum thread you can post in and express your desire, and hopefully it becomes reality.

I checked old vs. new for mod descriptions, the process is the same, the editor is even the same, the font on the published mod page is the only thing different.. not sure what you were getting at there.
-it actually takes more clicks to get to it now, with the stupid combo box they've shoved all the mod author options into.

I realize they are on a completely new platform and might not be able to host both sites in parallel. but did they invest in a platform with no modularity to allow for different look and feel options?
it's pretty clear by the comments here a lot of people do not like the new layout, and there shouldn't be any money truckload roadblocking them from developing an old style layout on this new framework.

as an author yourself, you should have recognized how many extra clicks it takes to get to things that were once quick-access. Edited December 12, 2017 by TeHCoQ

Odd, it works for me. :) Though you do have to remember to check the box. I can see why they did it though, people were having problems with parts of their normal text being converted to emoticons, this makes emotes opt-in.

Still hilarious to me how much smoother this could have gone if they just gave us a consolidated way to actually communicate as a community, rather than just a bunch of people shouting in the comments section. Strawpoll OP.

schnubbel76 wrote: I've explained it so much, i write every other day that i hate that. It is not good structured, it looks flat, i miss or dont find some old funtions, the colors are crap, the buttons are crap, it feeles unintuitive, i just dont like it, no i hate it and i will never understand why they felt the need to change it in the first place. 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.

RestlessPilgrim wrote: Define "proper feedback" then because it's not like the numerous complaints aren't pretty clear! Didn't ask for it, don't like it, can't search properly, etc etc etc Just because people disagree with something you want to force on us doesn't make 'em wrong!

Ethreon wrote: Proper feedback - give feedback on the new version, either specifying what is wrong and you want changed, or what could be improved. The old one is not coming back.
"I hate it" is not really of any use to anyone.

schnubbel76 wrote: I dont see it in my responsibility to be "of use". I have just an opinion, i am very very sad about the changes that i mentioned and i dont want to be part of the thinktank for further changes. I want the old one back and as you say, that is not gonnna happen. So all is left to me is being frustrated and say it out loud, because somehow it helps me emotionally. 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.

LavaCroft wrote: If you're just going to complain for the complaining without even attempting to provide any kind of valuable feedback, I would create a Twitter account or something.

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.

Give real input or shut the hell up!! Please.

schnubbel76 wrote: mcdanielskh I dont give a s#*! about what you think about me as a person or my behaviour. I said i hate the new layout. Whats the big deal. You dont have to like what im saying. You dont even have to read it or take part in this argument. You can say to me that you hate me, or that you think im a crying baby, you even can wish me to die on cancer. But dont you ever try to shut me up. I dont know where you are coming from, but in my country we are allowed to speak freely. You will never take that away from me.

schnubbel76 I did say Please :)
Look, I don't hate you, and I seriously doubt that even you can whine enough to make anybody want to kill you. (Although I could be wrong).
I just wish you would take a anti-drama pill and move on for god's sake.

As far as where we are from, that's irrelevant, and I don't see how this has anything to do with freedom of speech. but FYI I am an American, and value freedom of speech.I have also been told to shut up many times in my life, usually because I need to be told to shut up. I am also not afraid to stand up and shout for what i believe when it is needed, like when it interferes with basic liberties like "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" and no our founding fathers of the constitution were not talking about you personal happiness to have the Nexus page look just like you want or else. Do you not hear how "entitled" you sound? If you truly understand the meaning of "freedom of speech" you would also know that freedom of speech does not give you the right to disturb the peace and make a general nuisance/ass of yourself.

So ok, we all have heard how you just hate this new Nexus Layout, that you don't want to help make it better and that you just want to make noise and you feel you have a right to make as much noise as you want. Well friend, I will use my 1st amendment right to tell you that you are not standing up for your freedom of speech, you're just being a general a-hole. (oh BTW, you don't have a free speech right on the Nexus. The Nexus is very open in regard to speech, but they have the right to bounce you if they want. You can get your own web site if you want to say anything you want, but I digress..)
Now if you had actionable input for these great people here at the Nexus to work with and they were trying to shut you up, I would be standing right next to you being as loud with it as I can :)

Really though man, just chill bro. Don't take this stuff so seriously man. No one is attacking you personally. It's just words on a page man. If this stuff makes you wonder if people want to kill you, may I suggest seeing a Doctor for some medication or at least finding another hobby. Edited December 13, 2017 by mcdanielskh

I am experiencing and issue that I do not know if it is related to the Nexus update or the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

 

I can no longer download with manager. It simply fails to load into NMM. I CAN download manually and add the file once downloaded.

 

Extra step. Woe is me. ^_~

1. On mobile

- I'm not sure why it's different than on PC, but it leads with News & Updates, then a bunch of tiles, then All of Our Mods, then a bunch of tiles. No intuitive way to just get to a Game main page. I bet 90% of landings to the main page, users are trying to get to a Game, but it's just not there. Menu at the top is of no help, it's multi-layered, and primarily has options of Mods, Images, Videos on a site-wide basis. How many users actually use the website in this manner?

- News - drop-down that lists 9 ways to view news. Seriously? Just have something simple that shows the news, then once your'e there, allow for different views, if that's really necessary. I mean, did you guys actually look at usage metrics to figure out what functionality is actually used?

- News shouldn't be displayed in tile form, and it shouldn't be front and center. It should just be a highlight feed that takes up less real estate.

- ALL OF OUR MODS - Caps, why caps? And how many people actually navigate to nexusmods.com in order to view ALL mods accross ALL games? I would wager that 99% of the people come to the site to view mods for their top 2-3 favorite games. So this is just noise using up valuable real estate.

- That's basically it. On the mobile main page, I see no intuitive way to get to what I really want, is to go to my favorite games quickly or to look at site news ( in a manner that takes up much less space)

2. On Desktop
- Different experience - I'm seeing the games front and center, which is a good thing.
- +1 for the favorite games drop-down. That is a nice enhancement - but's it's lost in all the other crap you have in that main menu bar - and is that the main menu bar or is the menu bar above it the main menu bar (Nexus Home, Chat, News - again!!)? I don't know - 90% of it is unnecessary on the main page.
- Overall, it's way too cluttered. One recommendation is to create a couple different views. The main one should just have the basics of what 90% of the people navigate to 90% of the time. You could create a "mod author" view, with all the "My mods, my files, with posts for my mods, etc"
- How many people actually look at mods accross all games? Same feedback. Perhaps create a My Favorites section that shows new mods, etc for favorite games. But seriously, how many people actually want to see new mods, videos, etc across ALL games? Getting rid of all of this clutter would vastly simply the interface.
- News - why tiles? And with 8 different tabs at that? Seriously? I'd like to see the metrics on how often all those tabs are clicked. News is a single simple feed with perhaps a filter option. Tiles should be used for objects or records. Slim this down to minimize the real estate used by news. Right now, your news is a big waste of space and doesn't present the pertinent info to the user, which is simply the headline - that's it - that's all you need for news.
- ALL OF OUR MODS - who wants to see ALL mods from ALL games? Big waste. Maybe give a power user the option, but not on the main page.
- Bottom line is you are wasting main page precious space with what you could be using to highlight select featured mods, staff picks, mods of the month, new games, features/promotions, mod contests, really important updates, etc. Who knows, but right now, it's a big blur of useless info that is all a waste of precious real estate.

That's my feedback on the Main Page.

or keep the old proven design? Edited December 13, 2017 by Uthuriel

[grider]

Don't like new format. Keep old. I don't like ANY of the changes.
