I HATE IT!

I had this page bookmarked on updated addons. No matter what category.
Now I have to seperately browse any category you can think of. Maybe it's just me, but I find it very annoying.
Give old layout back! (like that's ever gonna happen :-/)

What do you mean exactly? Do you want the sidebar brought back when looking at a specific category, so you can switch between categories but stay in the "Recently Updated" filter?

missing "Updated Downloads"
I only found "New Downloads"

Previous layout was awesome.
Started each day by visiting the updated addons on Curse, but now that section is gone, maybe it's hiding somewhere in this new maze, but I sure can't find it.
Oh well, as they say; Good things don't last forever. ;)

I liked the earlier setup, because it allowed me to quickly ascertain which addons I use need to be updated, and which new updates might be worth a try. Now, I'll have to try to remember each and every addon I use, and then go explore separately to see if any new ones look appealing.
I don't know about anybody else, but my time on WoW is very limited, so I begrudge having to use more of it handling addons. Please give us back the previous format. Have the people who run Curse ever heard the phrase, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

I miss the section with new adds & recently updated adds.
new layout looks sweet otherwise.

bring back the Updated page!!!!!!!!

http://downloads.curse.com/updated/

Yeah bring back updated pls :(

wow... curse went & did it again, and applied suck+++ on their layouts.
the new layout is horrible, and it's a freaking pain in the ass to try to see what addons have been updated.
additionally, I don' t want to see the damned guild packages on my updated-addons page.

100% made of lose.

I agree completely, the updated section needs to be modified to work like the old one. I'll pass on the fact that we

A) Need categories on the left column so you can stay within Updated while changing categories.
B) Display a "Last Updated" date so that you can quickly see what has been updated, and when.

If you update your AddOns frequently, I highly suggest taking advantage of Favorites though, especially with the new "Recently Updated Favorites" module.

What do we mean exactly?

Former layout: When you selected Addons from the menu bar, you could select a window of Updated addons in reverse chronological order.

New layout: I cannot find an Updated Addons section.

Former layout: When I did a search, for example "Titan", everything with Titan in the names would appear WITH A DATE. I could then sort by date in reverse chronological order.

New layout: When i do a search, the results screen does not include a date field, the list is sorted by popularity, and I cannot change the sort.

I like the look of the new layout but like everyone else has stated, when you click on the "recently updated" link, you no longer get a list of recently updated addons by date but instead you get the list of "all addons", not showing what you wanted to see. Maybe they can bring this back and keep the new look.

Ok guys, thanks a lot for the feedback -- we want to make this page the best possible for you -- so we're taking everything you mention to heart. We're going to be making the following changes to the homepage:

• Renaming "Recently Updated AddOns" to "New and Updated AddOns"
  
  • Adding two new links at the bottom of the "New and Updated AddOns" module:
    
    • "See more New AddOns"
      
    • "See more Updated AddOns"
      
    
    
  
  
• Changing the displayed data on "New and Updated AddOns" and "Your Favorites Updates" to show the date it was last updated, rather than download count
  
• Changing the help text on "New and Updated AddOns" from "Average downloads per day" to "Date of last update"
  

I also hate the new layout. Everything is squished, no dates, no updated add-ons. The other was so much cleaner than this new one. Priority shifted to classes and categories. This could have been made smaller and at the side, like it should be. I enjoyed the old layout as I could have a window for my favorites, but also discover newly made add-ons and ones that I had forgotten about but that were recently updated. The "new" version of curse lacks this badly.

I miss being able to look at the new or updated list and see WHEN each entry was last updated. Telling me there are 76 pages of updated mods doesn't inspire confidence.

I'm all for new, shiny interfaces, but they have to work for the users, ya know?

I hate this new look with a passion. I believe Curse is trying to cut down the flow to their site for WOW users or maybe to force people into using their updater. When I first logged on I saw no dates, I then went to updated add ons. I saw no dates on it either, went to page two and found SCT that I have been trying. I thought maybe this one got updated. Wrong, six months ago was last update.
I hate having to physically, go into the add on to see if it has actually been updated. I'm guessing WOWUI. will get a big increase in flow till Curse fixes this. Till then, later.
Thanks for trying Curse, but if it's not broken don't fix it.

Okay, more details: I click on the More link in the Recently Updated sidebar. Then the main section of the page shows "New," but the addons listed there are NOT the same as the addons listed in the sidebar. Um, what?

We're also investigating ways to make browsing updated AddOns in categories less clunky; we have to decide where to present the categories on those pages, but we do want to add them in again. This will probably also be the case for category pages themselves, so you can quickly jump from Map to Combat to Raids & Encounters.

jffyt: For some reason the page is displaying User and Guild Packages again -- this shouldn't be the case. In regards to concerns, this page does actually show updated AddOns. We just discussed adding icons to designate if something is new or recently updated to the page as well.

I agree with just about everyone here. Curse you need to get ur Sh*t together and bring back the "updated" section. No one wants to go through everysingle mod to see if they are updated or not. Change is good from time to time but this time it just hurt you worse than it could of helped. Please bring back the previous version

I agree with all
I could have wrote several things it myself. :)

Pls give back the page with only the updated addons with the date behind it

Idd, please gief the old layout.

Also none of the links work correctly for instance if you do a search for a compilation and click the arrow and select compilations the search takes you too the addon page. If you see the top five user compilations and click the more button it also take you too the addon page. When user compilation had been prominately listed it no longer is and it just isnt working correctly. Basically if you arent listed in the top five you will be lucky to get any hits. Has Curse decided that User compilations are no longer important ?

Well, unlike you guys, I never really much payed a lot of attention but I love this layout. I hardly used this site but when I did, it was hard finding a good addon. There were times when I would click on a category of addons and theyd have well over 100 in there and only one or two showed up.

Great job, coming from a man who hasnt fallen in love with the old layout

Seriously, I'm OK with the new layout, but PUT GUILD/PERSONAL PACKAGES in a SEPERATE part of the website PLEASE!! Or at least give us an option to hide them. Because honestly think about how many people actually NEED that 1 pack? - maybe 40 people max. out of the other quite literally millions of viewers you have. None of us care about some guild package on a realm we aren't even on. It clutters the data that your main users want to find.

And for layout purposes, move "Highest Rated Addons" from the right side of the screen, to the left. And the advertisement that is up there, leave it, but allow all the middle content to wrap around it further down the page. I'll edit this and provide a screenshot of what I'm talking about in a few.

Check out the mock-up I've provided:

Not only does this make things flow better, but allows you to extend some of your sections, makes it easier to read/find items, but also just generally makes things less scrunched. A general rule of thumb is 60% of your width should be your main-content in a 3 column layout minimum. You guys have closer to 30% and it makes it look amateur.

Hi ThantiK,

Thank you for the feedback. While your suggestion is a very good idea, we've reserved a portion of that space for AddOn Reviews once we get that feature rolling, as well.

In regards to Guild/User Packages, we're looking into changing how/where they're viewed to best give them representation, while also limiting their effect on the "AddOns" section.

Curse is one of the only AddOn hosting websites that supports compilations, and we don't really plan to change that, but we do understand that a compilation isn't something desirable to see while browsing the AddOn Homepage or its sub-pages.

To those who were upset about the Recently Updated addons - how do you feel about it now? We've added separate links for new and updated addons, and they now show the date of the last update. The Recently Updated filter page should be much more functional now.

As for compilations, somehow they snuck back into those lists. They are being removed now.

Hm... go to updated -- look at the first page -- great, sorted in dateorder -- click page 2... now you are nolonger on updated, but on all addons, not sorted...

When you get it to work also for page 2 and onward, I will be satisfied :)

Omg, this layout is complicated. Bring back the simplified layout back please. I can't even see the new updates or new mods. Why would u change the layout when it was perfect before? All i want to see each day is new updates, and new mods thats been added, and you cant even sort them so just the game version u want shows and the older ones don't. Very disapointed with this layout. Please change it back.

When i click on updated and finish viewing the first page of updated mods for that category, i click next and all the dates are muddled up again. Bring back the old view, or atleast let us be able to sort them by clicking on either, Updated, Rating, Name etc if u get what i mean. Its just too squashed and you can't view many at a time. I only want to see updated or new addons, not the others, Just the game version 2.3 addons and up. Its simple and quick and easy to view without all the other older addons spamming the page.

How do I check addons for old patches? I cannot find it on the new layout.

Josaline: Thanks for pointing this out -- that's definitely not the intended functionality for the new/updated pages. It should remain consistent regardless of the page you're on inside of that section.

The old view won't be coming back, but we will be fixing this one to actually have the old one's functionality.

Veliplo: What game versions are you interested in seeing? This is a bit clunky right now, but until we get those links added back in somewhere, here's a quick link to a few of the latest WoW versions:

• WoW 2.4
  
• WoW 2.3.3
  
• WoW 2.3.2
  
• WoW 2.3
  
• WoW 2.2.3
  
• WoW 2.2.2
  
• WoW 2.2.0
  

Thank you for quickly modifying the new and updated sidebar and associated "more"buttons. The addition of a modified date is great. I still don't understand why the items on the list in the sidebar aren't the same as the first items shown in the main column (when you click "more"), but then there are a lot of things I don't understand.

jffyt: This is unfortunately a side effect of compilations displaying in the "Addon" section. We're trying to figure out the best way to balance the fact that many users don't want to see those, but at the same time continue to give the same support to compilations that Curse always has given.

It's a really tricky balance to meet, and we'll obviously make sure the content on a section stays consistent, so it'll likely be that we remove compilations from that list, but give them representation somewhere on the main page.

I rest my case! Glad to see many of you agree with me. :-)
I just like to browse updated stuff. With the previous layout I checked once a day to see what new updates there were and what UI's might be interesting. I don't wanna browse all seperate categories, I just want a one shot view of what's new!

I am a hunter, I like one shots! :P

Thank you very much for the changes. It is a world of difference while keeping the new stuff. Very refreshing to see such changes so fast and good. Cheers!

How do I just browse the Compilations section?! I don't know what I want to look up, I just want to browse! :'(

I'm a window shopper and you broke me :(

WOW - I have to say guys, AMAZING work! - I love that the guild package compilations have been removed from the recently updated/new addons list - I can get to the data I've been looking for now!!

And as much as I disliked having them in recently updated/new addons, I agree with Jethrow - there should be a link placed somewhere (on the page) to allow guild compilations/personal compilations to be easily accessible. (A personal suggestion is to maybe put it in the "Addons Categories" section.) Unless I'm missing something here? - I did a quick (3 min >_>) browse of the addons front page and don't seem to be able to find a link to them.

Tthe changes to the layout of some of the sub-sections (on the left and right) definitely make it feel cleaner. There seem to be a few guild packages that have been mislabeled as "other", and so forth, but they're few and far between - I can definitely handle that.

The new layout is coming along nicely, I love that you guys have been listening to those voicing their opinion about usability and accessibility!

Thanks for the links. Its much easier with them to see the new/updated addons without having older addons showing. I'll be looking forward for those links showing back on the page though for easier viewing off new/updated addons.

I must say though, you guys put up with a lot of criticism but you listen and sort it out swiftly. My compliments!

Good thing for edit because i thought it was the same broken functionality and all but then i went to look at it and noticed it works much better now.

Something that i noticed is that if im in a category like "2.4 addons" and i click on the column to sort it for which one was updated recent it takes me out of the category of 2.4 and into "most recent updated" category (or whatever its called) instead of leaving me in 2.4 addons category and sorting it.
