Was going to resubscribe but want to avoid new layout gives headache and keeps switching back.

Won't happen.

Why cant you choose skin?

 

 

Because this is not a CSGO weapon?

 

Ethreon, I don't care what anyone says, you always manage to get a chuckle out of me. Never leave us.

 

And I'm pretty sure, as you said, this was covered in at least two other threads. Anyone got $10K to fork over?

 

*crickets chirping*

 

Yeah, that about sums it up. However, I will say this, on some forum sites, like Xenforo, for instance, you can choose color theme (even 4chan has that), which might help, and there's probably that functionality built into this new site, too, it just hasn't been made available yet. But the overall style? Yeah, Dark0ne didn't sink all the money into it only to tear it all down.

The forum has the ability to go from dark background to light background so perhaps there will be something along those lines for the new site. There will probably be things ironed out as it goes. For me, minus whatever glitches the implementation has, I don't see any real drawbacks to the new site and it does look a lot better on the phone, which I think was a big factor in the redesign. (Yea, you can't download mods on the phone but you can browse, and supposedly phone browsing is 20% of Nexus traffic. So, it does make sense to bring the site up-to-date to work better with that platform. Nexus does rely on browsing its forums to earn money. It's a free site and service. Pointing out problems and making suggestions that may be useful is a far cry from much of the bitter and ugly complaining I see in the forums.

That's about how I feel. Only time I ever go on Nexus on my phone is to look at my screenshots to show someone. Otherwise, I browse on the computer. So I think the traffic we're seeing may not really be for mods, more for screenshots, forums, and news.

 

That last part:

 

 

This just in, Bill Clinton, member [censored] himself, approves.

Forum skins are a lot more simple than a whole website layout. It's just all mostly css. For what they are doing, they are changing lots of code and no single stylesheet can change all of that with the push of a button.

What about emulation kit?

Ah, for the phone. That's why all the mod tiles, and the site in general, looked so huge when I first visited, at least on my

27" monitor. Because of my eyesight, I usually keep the Chrome zoom function at 150% for reading forum posts, like here.

When I reduced the Chrome zoom function, the new format looked much better, and was much more readable.

 

But I still wish web designers, whether for Nexus or elsewhere, would try and resist this new lo-res trend of light grey printing on a medium grey background, or vice-versa. That I do find hard to read, whatever the zoom size.
