Site issues since Dawnguard

[bben46]

It's not that NMM won't work with pirated games, It's some pirated versions won't work with NMM. And the pirates seem to think we should fix that for them. :whistling:

 

I have seen that white screen with black text, blue links & no or corrupt pics. Maybe once a day. And I ahave been spending several hours a day on Nexus. But I can always back page, then reload and 90% of the time that fixes it. I have never had to do that a third time. Using Win7 x64 and currently my browser is Waterfox (a 64bit firefox variant)

 

So it's not your browser doing it. I do have some anti malware stuff running - My browser is run in a sandbox, plus a pop up blocker, Ad filter, Comodo firewall/antivirus and a firewall on my router to block known spam/virus IP addresses. I have had to make some custom settings on the Comodo to allow some things through. I do have UAC set to minimum. I believe the malware makers have defeated that as it's been out long enough.

 

If you can, try using a different computer connected to the same internet source and see if that works - if so then it's something in your computer - if not it's likely something external to the computer.

You, my friend, are a genius. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif I have software that blocks those things, too, and it was exactly that. SkyrimNexus has gotten listed! Man, I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure that out myself. I turned it off and Skyrim Nexus loads up fine. Now, I just have to fine-tune it to allow the Nexus-related stuff through.

 

Thanks, man. *bro-fist*

Although I've been a download lurker on this site for more than half a decade, I very, very recently became a Premium member(3 month trial) in order to hopefully better download and communicate as a result of what I've since discovered is a very recent Site-wide bug.

 

But, I have also witnessed an unexpected level of civility combined with talent and expertise among the participants attempting to resolve this obviously difficult problem. That discovery, alone, is worth the few nickles the temporary Premium cost me. And I live on a fixed income in US Social Security poverty.

 

Kudos, Folks! What an impressive community of gamers and Administrators you are!

bben46, you prompted me to look for the Waterfox download, as I am on a 64 bit system and Firefox has been a little ornery (including with the Nexus sites) to put it mildly, of late.

It has preserved all bookmarks and such from Firefox, so I am a happy bunny!

I used to be a premium member. Then the Nexus took a Dawnguard release in the...

i haven't successfully updated a mod since dawnguard came out. 200 kb/s max and then it cuts out.

"it was a bit like Bethesda pulling our pants down in gym class without knowing we were going commando that day."

 

Man, why'd you have to put that image in my head, bro?

I love that I am actually in a different time zone than majority of your users :D If I go downloading your files at night or late evening, there is no issue for me.

 

It is great that you are expressing your concerns and care about Nexus people, but all in all, Nexus has been and remains a pillar of the modding community for many games and for many years. Do not stress yourself too much over it, we believe in you and know that you can handle it.

 

I for one do not hate you for anything, I love the service and been using it for five years now.

Some people see a problem and assume that because they have that problem. then everyone absolutely must have that problem. The reality is most people are not seeing these problems. But when one person reports it, then a second one verifies it, then they believe it absolutely must be a system wide bug.

 

These problems are being looked into. But often we cannot duplicate the problem - and if you can't see it, you can't fix it. And the people who report often don't give much info beyond saying something like "FIX THIS &%$# BUG!!!!". - I don't see the bug, other people don't see the bug. so what is it?

 

If this is directed at my post(s), please understand that I HAVE posted in the correct bug report forum, multiple times, and have even commented when other users, having the same problem, have posted their bug reports, and have even pm'd certain Nexus staff directly. Many premium users are having the same problem (premium users cannot download Oblivion, Morrowind, FO3 and maybe other mod files from the Kent premium server and this has been going on since early June!). I have had messages from the highest levels of Nexus that this is, indeed, a problem Nexus is having, and not anything to do with my system or connection. I appreciate the fact that the problem has been acknowledged. Thank you. My problem is that it is taking so long to resolve and that there are no updates, information, or whatever. Eery silence. If Skyrim, FONV, the Witcher, etc. files work perfectly with the Kent premium server (I have personally tested each), why don't Oblivion, Morrowind and FO3. Considering that these are not the newest of games and that Nexus is very very silent publicly concerning the Kent server not having files from these games, what am I or the other premium members to think? All I want is some honest and public information on when the Kent server will again be available for premium users downloading Oblivion, Morrowind, FO3, and whatever other mod files. That's all.

Happy 11th Birthday!!

 

For WizardofAtlantis, I have used the NMM for Skyrim since Skyrim first came out. They update every so often so that may be a thing you may want to look into. If it says "Do you want to update NMM?" I always say yes because it always updates what its capabilities and abilities can do for you, as a user.

 

Okay as far as using any of the Skyrim mods for me people, I have not had one issue at all. No matter the size, even after the Dawnguard release and/or issue(s). I still had no issues, but there were a couple of times I had to wait for the file to come up but that was nothing. Once it started, it went all the way through. No probs here.

 

I have been a member of the Nexus Community for a while, can't even remember how long, but I must say, I'm proud to be a part of it. Everyone in here is awesome, moderators, premium members, staff, regular folk like you and I, and, wait...that didn't come out right...Just kidding. I love this site.

I hope to be a continuing member for years to come.

Thank you all, and your doing a heck of a job regardless of what the situations may arise.

Keep up the good work!!
