New navigation bar is broken if you use Firefox with "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" option disabled (I always have this option disabled since I don't like most websites fonts).

These arrows, bell and other icons on the top bar now are special symbols from their special font, not images. I don't understand why they changed this. It just worked, with any regular font... Edited by yuser

The new one being on-screen all the time is a huge improvement, it means you don't have to scroll all the way up to the top of the page to start a new search. Now they just need to improve their search so that you don't have to already know the name of the mod you're looking for before you search for it.

Another unnecessary update to the site's design. At least the previous one was TOLERABLE. This one makes it so you have to click through more things, it's uglier than the previous redesign, and you guys still haven't removed that video at the bottom of mod pages that keeps popping up EVERY TIME you go to a new page.

 

Why am I not surprised that another bad design update was pushed without ACTUALLY consulting users?

I never scroll all the way up, I just press Home button. Mobile users have (and had) their huge button at left bottom corner.

I'm no defender of this site, and have my own concerns with some of the directions it has went in, and appears to be going in. However, in this particular instance I really have to wonder if (a) we are viewing the same Nexus, because I actually find the new design far more efficient, and (b) whether you bothered to respond to the survey....where you would have had the chance to provide your user input.

A survey that was never made known to me. And a survey that at least 80% of users *probably* never saw. I tried the beta for about a day and if I'd known about any survey, I would've responded to it. I'm noticing a lot of problems. Namely with how many times you have to click to do things. Also, the top bar clashes poorly with the website itself.

I have mild arthritis in my right hand. Technically both, but it's always been worse in the right. I always have since as long as I can remember. And I'm right-handed, so I have to use my right hand for my mouse, which hurts even with a decent mouse. With the previous redesign, ugly as it was, I could get to my favorited games with a single click. I didn't have to use the mouse any longer than necessary to get to things. With this one, you have to click twice. Not the worst thing in the world, no, but that clicking adds up. I've already got arthritis, so I'd *really* rather not get carpal tunnel as well.

Also, what about the annoying ad that always pops up and blocks a portion of the screen? Another click, though that was part of the previous redesign, unless you're so used to ads that it doesn't bother you anymore. Not everyone can afford to get supporter or premium to get rid of the ads, and with adblocker, the download speed is cut in half. Edited by kat1004

Eh... the survey was right on the Beta page, as I recall, and pretty hard to miss.
That said, my honest sympathies that it isn't working out well for you, and that it's aggravating your health. Hopefully, they'll take your feedback here, at least, under advisement.
In the meantime, if it's an option, is it possible for you to create a thumbnail for the pages of your favourite games on your browser home page/Speed Dial? I use Chrome and Opera, primarily, and I find this works quite well. Edited by Sonja

'Back to top' isn't working anymore? Also games favorited are shown vertically instead of horizontally. I don't know if it's my browser.

EDIT: Yup, it;s my browser. Sorry about that!

EDIT 2: Needs some improvement on notification tab imo. I can't understand which one is read and which isn't.
