Design Update - Our New Navigation is here

[axz2]

The site keeps getting worse. The Nav bar (which can be blocked but then you lose some of the functionality) , not being able to delete a notification from the notification drop down from that bar (you can only mark it as read, you can delete it from https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/notifications/ but it would be better to be able to mark as read or delete from the drop down as well), and now the worst new "feature" the extra clicking to download any mod with the choice of slow speed or fast speed every time. It would be nice if at least people who have made a one time payment to block ads could avoid that extra clicking. Ideally no one should have to bother with it, or there should be an option to set one or the other as your download choice, for those who want to avoid it.

I'm guess that by "automatic downloads" they mean not being pushed to buy a premium membership and not having to click three extra buttons just to download. Oh joy bunnies. Just love it when a company takes something that everyone got and sticks it behind their paywall. Guess this is the kind of thing that happens when you're the biggest kid in the school yard, you get to frick over the users that aren't paying for the service and then lord it over them because you provide something to them "out of the goodness of your heart." Happy Fricking Christmas.

 

Edit: I'm going to throw these last three things out there as well.

1. I can live with a 5-10 second delay on the download. Won't like it, but I can live with it provided there is a visible timer counting down.

2. The new "Push for Premium!" that is going on with the downloads is LESS likely to get me to go premium and more likely to make me think twice about downloading, voting or endorsing mods. I realize that is actually good for Nexus as it reduces their load, but it also reduces traffic and income when that is hundreds or thousands of people who are no longer seeing the ads they post on every page.

3. And I'll step up and admit that maybe I'm wrong about the hows and whys; but whether I am or not it sure as heck looks like the admin (site admin, not the moderators) lording the premium memberships and pushing them hard on the regular user base. And anyone in politics, business or marketing will tell you that it's all about perception.

I'm fine with knowing my downloads will be slower without paying some sort of subscription, I've paid to support this site in the past when I could. But to be honest. There are a billion and one subscription services out there now and if you let it happen you'll be poor before you know it because of that.

 

So I just can't afford this premium service. So I go here with the side bars and the top bar reminding me that my downloads will be slow. Sure I get that. I expected that. But then having the ANNOY TO PAY "features" on the site doesn't exactly encourage me to want to pay. In fact it just pisses me off.

 

Thought I would throw my two cents in on that issue.

why do we have these obnoxious download "slow" and "premium" buttons? i swear this site looks like one of those scammy fileshares that beg for money at every step, we all know already about the premium features stop shoving it into our faces, it takes too much time to navigate now.

Just off the top of my head:

I reiterate the earlier poster's comment about not using my full screen width. Over half my screen is just the background picture.
Download history should at least list the game it was for with all the other information.
Search by category shouldn't be a refinement of a completed search, it should be a main type.
On individual mod screens, the user last downloaded date info should be right next to the last uploaded info.

I mention all this here because I'm not sure where would be more appropriate.

This. I don't understand why a lot of web pages nowadays look like designs that were modern in the 1980's (which had fixed fonts, fixed width). I feel I have to turn my screen by 90° to use the page. Is this the way it was intended ? Please make the page again modern with adaption to the size of the web browser. Currently it is
a) part of a background picture
b) larger or smaller grey part depending on zoom level
c) Text area
d) larger or smaller grey part depending on zoom level
e) part of a background picture
f) Minor: Even on high zoom level no vertical bar
h) elements on the page disappearing on higher zoom level Edited December 22, 2019 by ssuamier

This is awful, and to hell with the Community Manager that says it's unrelated. It's a site change with no place to put feedback.

[Guest deleted34304850]

you are aware, aren't you, that you're providing feedback, in a forum that is under the feedback area of the website?

Too much egg nog mayhap?
