Menu options / categories

Okay, just an expression of personal opinion here, but I do think it a mistake to have disposed of some of the categories that you did not include in the new mod menus... specifically the "Titan", "FuBar", "Atlas", etc....

There are huge numbers of users of one of these mod suites or another. It only makes sense that a Titan Bar user would want to see a listing of all of the Titan mods in the system. That's why the old site had those special case menu options.

Speaking as a software engineer myself, I understand the need for redesign, branding, upgrade, etc... but never assume the people who were doing it for years before you didn't know what they were doing. When there are odd-ball things in a design, it's usually because they had to add it after the fact because the demand for it was so high. Throwing away "unusual" things because they are unusual is always a design mistake. It's there for a reason... you ask the question "why" and then you figure out how to integrate it into your design in a more consistent and maintainable manner.

Having one huge over category called "bars" only confuses the matter... it takes all these distinctly different bar sets and lumps them all together making it more complicated for the user to distinguish which bar set a specific mod is for as well as forcing the user to wade through many bar mods that are of no interest to them at all (more pages to scan to find the mods that apply to you).

I actually agree and we will be looking at getting those categories back on the list, I'm not actually sure how they specifically worked before but I will definitely look for a way to sort this one out.

Cheers for the feedback.
