Redesign Launch - Stage 2 in progress

[rick0307]

Please turn on the "Emoticon" feature in Mod Comments, because it is not there , yet. [visible, doe not work.] Edited December 12, 2017 by rick0307

new layout: increase scale of everything by 25% and make it look like windows 10.

 

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.

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"?

I wanted it, and I think it's great. I don't get all the complaints about it.

I honestly don't see any benefits from the redesine. At least for me the important/interesting informations for mords are less visible on first sight. Browsing and search for mods seems harder when before since the whole serch function was sliced up. No more Attribute selection, no more language selection, no more atuthor name contains and so on things to narrow down if you serch something spesific or try to finde a mod that you don't remember compleatly by name or author or simply enjoying to brows for a type of mod. Well I haven't asked for the redesine either and since it seems to have some cons for me I'll stay with the old one as long as I can.

There will be no old layout option anymore.

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.

Possible bug ?

I just want to say for the record I like the old design better. please keep it so we have a choice on how to view the nexus.

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.

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.

Not 100% sure, but I think you are experiencing an issue discussed and rectified with a tip on the first discussion thread.
I'll explain briefly: (BUT, this doesn't answer why you cannot permanently enable it btw... it just handles the address change issue)

I had the issue where all my bookmarks were not working due to the new address. And my complaint at the time was along your lines where many bookmarks etc were pointing to the "old address".

A user mentioned a workaround, that has worked flawlessly for me, and others I would assume.
Not only did this allow me to keep all my hundreds of bookmarks... but it also dealt with any "old link" anywhere on the internet pointing to the old web address.

I use FireFox myself.
The "addon" is called "ReDirector".
Anytime I click an old bookmark (without the rd in the address), it adds the info and processes the request and takes me to the right page.

In fact, I suggested that info/post be stickied (it wasn't), as I was sure it would help many others.
Of course, that is if you are okay with browser addons.

A quick google fu search shows it available for Firefox, Chrome, Opera and possibly others as well.
In fact, see below & go there and read up on it. It supports a few browsers.... and is the one I use.

For something done with moble in mind this new site is incredibly inefficient to use. The old way on my phone, that I don't have all day to mess with, I'm at work, would show me 6 hot files, 6 new mods, the buttons to control it all, and some site news, all on the first page. Quick scan, maybe look at one or two, back to work. On the new site pull it up, 2 hot mods, scroll, 2 new mods, scroll, 2 new mods, scroll, scroll, scroll. Well I think you get the picture. Does it really have to be this cumbersum? Some of us don't have all day to mess with your site. As on the PC, incredibly inefficient, over sized tiles that give little to no information that your forced to scroll through to get anything, while on the old site 6 hot mods, 6 new mods, site news, and the buttons to control most of it was there on the opening page, no scrolling. Progress, really?
