Does the mod categories even exist anymore? That was my bread and butter here. Its like someone hired someone to come into my work or home and hide everything from me for no reason.

Same here, and I can't find the different forums either.

 

I ended up googling to do that.

It only appears on the game sites though, as there are no categories at the main Nexus Mods.

This would be because you are at the tablet breakpoint. Clicking the three bars (the "hamburger") will bring up a navigation menu.

allmightybrii wrote: No....that just takes me to "games", NO navigation bar, no way to find "my" anything
And if I click on anything in the dropdown like "mods" it just takes me back to main mod page.

allmightybrii wrote: Ok, I found the "Menu" but still cant find my tracked mods there, and why do I not have a navigation bar? this "hamburger" way of doing things is slower and so very annoying

Edit: Thanks, that helped me as well, but still no avatar, no tracked mods, and though I can find my images, there is no 'upload' button on the top bar of the main page as it shows in the article. I can add from going to the separate areas, but unless I am mistaken, I thought there was supposed to be one on the main page/bar.

It might be because you are too zoomed in which is giving you the tablet navigation and not the one envisioned for desktops.

Can you show me a screenshot, please? What browser are you using? Anything unusual about your setup?

Pickysaurus, I hadn't realized it; had never opened "See all" because it was not necessary for me. Thank you!

So, the new design had an ad that repeatedly popped up on every page on the bottom right of my screen and annoyed me to the point that I installed an ad-blocker to get rid of it. Noticed that you had an opt-out fee. Went to pay for it, and it's asking for a bunch of information (some of which is already on my profile, and some of which I don't care to share) before I can get to checkout.

 

For the record, my profile hasn't changed in years. I log on with a user name and password, and all you should need to take a payment is that and a valid method of payment (such as paypal) What you don't need (unless you have plans of creating a database to sell or other nefarious activities) is my full name, address, country of origin, age or sexual preference (not that you asked for that).

 

I get the need for ad revenue, I do. But at the same time, any ad that becomes hugely annoying is guaranteed to insure either an ad blocker or navigation away from the page.

 

Incidentally, search on the "new design" is still broken. When I can find mods on your site faster by googling it than using the search button, that's not a good indicator for your search algorithms. Nor does the "hamburger" navigation tool at the top thrill me. Hated it in windows 8, hate it now.

Kudos to the Nexus Mods staff for this roll out. Thank you all for your good work to continue improving this site.

Alright, I got away from full screen using ctrl and 'minus'....now it all shows. My problem with this is my vision isn't the greatest, hence why I was using the full screen. I use my big screen tv as a monitor, but it doesn't help with text size on websites unless I use full screen. This now officially sucks.

BigBizkit, thanks for your help regardless! I just wish everything could be seen in full screen.

[ZI0MATRIX]

Nice to do try something new for a change.

Is there an option to switch back within the personal settings, as long the new design is in beta.

I don t see the benefit for me.

I also Installed ad blocker.

Yeah, I was just going to comment about that myself. Though what Pickysaurus will have to do, and in some ways be better... I think.
(I don't know how the "see all" page worked as I never had any reason to go to it before now.)

[NaturalAura]

Really like the visual changes, in addition I'm glad you kept the colors designation towards certain mod pages! There was a quarry I had with the new notification system.. but that's tolerable. However, and I'm not certain what I'm about to mention is related to the type of changes that were made, but I wish there were some way to sort the mods your tracking. Maybe even go as far as adding your own modlists and etc... but simple sorting would be fine by me. o-o
