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.

The notifications tab only shows your unread alerts. Read notifications can be accessed by selecting "Read all"

We experimented with hover during the beta, however the consensus from both our design team and user focus groups indicated that clickable tabs were superior. Edited September 25, 2019 by Pickysaurus

I don't want your inferior mod manager software but appreciate the mods.

I don't advertise any products here I dunno what you want nor I care.

zelazko wrote: @RON|N - thanks for clarification.
@stahpk - sorry if that is the case.
@pickysaurus - your answer doesn't answer the question but dodges it. Footer is at the bottom of the website and not flashes or pops up. Btw nexus already have footer.

Yes, the Vortex banner is part of the footer. It's not "popping up" at all, it's simply pushed up the screen in the split second it takes for the content of a mod page tab to load in. I'm not sure what part of that is unclear but I'd be happy to try and help you understand it?

I found your cleverly hidden updates, BTW. Na Na na na na.

Hoamaii wrote: Not to be a drag, Pickysaurus, 'cause I really don't care that authors are now considered users, 'cause we are also that, but your new wording is still confusing.
Searching through "users" only gives you... "authors" for results. Any user who has never published a mod still never turns up in the results - which is still very unfair for all the "users" who publish a lot of content like screenshots and videos, even though they never uploaded a mod.
If we are offered to search for "users", it'd be only fair that we can then find ALL users, or at least all content-creators, not just mod authors.

Also, it'd be much more efficient to lend on the said-user's profile like we used to, instead of just a mods list like what we get now.
I use the search tool a LOT, and I know that we can find a profile by right-clicking on some user's name in the comment or media section - but what I'm most interested in is the full profile, with all types of contents, not just the mods, when I'm doing a search.

As I said, we're hoping to enhance this to be a full user search in future :)

Having browsed around a bit, it's actually not so bad! It feels a good bit like the past layout but with a fancy new coat of paint! I'm willing to give it an earnest try.

I'm glad you are willing to try it out. I know if you didn't expect the change it hard to resist that knee-jerk "I hate it because it's different" reaction.

Please let us know how you find it!

Another interface ruined in order to make it more convenient for phones! Are people really using their phones to install mods? It was much more functional before, now its much harder to just browse or search mods from the machine you are using to play them on!

I like this design more but that feature was too good.

Could someone explain how "Author" is now "User"?

By process of elimination, I found that using "User" is how you search for mod authors.

It should still behave like this: https://imgur.com/a/Xt1dIAM

Hoamaii wrote: BigBizkit, PlusUP's question "Could someone explain how "Author" is now "User"?" is nonetheless legit.

 

Searching for "Users" when only mod authors return is confusing.

Unless of course you're planning to extend results to all users, which is something I really would love to see. Many non-mod-authors upload a lot of content like images or videos, it'd be really useful to be able to find them too with the search tool.

We are hoping to extend the search to all users in the future :smile:

 

Hoping to extend the search to all users defies logic. Are you saying that you will list all the people that have downloaded a particular mod?

 

Can you provide a logical reason to make the change from searching for the mod author to searching for "User"?

 

Or are you defining "User" as something other than someone that uses the mod?

A user search would search for a user. Different to how it currently works where it searches the "Author" and "Uploader" fields on mods.
