  • Where do you buy your games and hardware?

    Many major online retailers have an affiliate system linked to them by which they offer small percentage based commissions to sites that refers paying customers to them. Take for example a site like Amazon. If you click a link on someone's website to Amazon and then proceed to buy something off the site the referring website will be given a small percentage of the total sale in commission. You don't pay extra. You don't do anything differently. You don't even know you've done it. But a commissio...

  • Tracking centre changes

    The tracking centre on all Nexus sites has been updated with new functionality and some fixes. Here's the change log: Added a new filter option to set a time range for results Fixed an issue with results not being ordered by date when filters were set Removed the ability to order results by file name as this functionality is practically provided by the individual feeds anyway Fixed an issue with text overlapping on small resolutions Please give the new tracking centre a spin.

  • Network upgrade complete

    All the Nexus sites and the forums were brought down today from 1pm to 9pm GMT so that I could upgrade all the sites to their latest versions. The upgrades went down without a hitch and there were no unforeseen problems during the upgrade process. However there could be plenty of unforeseen problems with the new site code that my own personal testing hasn't picked up. The scope of testing I do as an individual, and as the creator of the site is very limited compared to the scope provided by t...

  • Scheduled down-time (8 hours) Monday 15th March

    All the Nexus Sites and the forums will be taken offline on Monday the 15th of March from 1pm GMT for up to 8 hours while the forum and Nexus code is updated to the latest version. During this time none of the sites will be available and no files will be downloadable. A redirect will be put in place that I'll keep people updated on. Over 3 months work has gone in to recoding the tens of thousands of lines behind the Nexus sites to increase performance, security, fix many bugs and add some new...

  • Site problems - 5th Feb 2010

    Let me apologise for the spate of problems that have occured today from about 4pm GMT onwards. That time honoured favourite of mine, sod's law, exposed its ugly head again as I worked to fix an issue with the forums. Naturally fixing one minor problem produces one much larger problem to deal with. After my supposed fix earlier in the day it turns out that the table indexes on forum posts (including file/image comments) became out of synch causing all sorts of problems; like posts not being ma...

  • Server move complete

    The down-time scheduled for today is now complete and the forums have successfully been moved to a new server of their own. This should help to alleviate the stress on the forum server which was also hosting both Fallout 3 Nexus and Dragon Age Nexus while dealing with requests from TESNexus. The servers will continue to be tweaked throughout the week. The weekends are the busiest times on Nexus sites so next weekend should prove to be interesting. Thank you for your patience during this ti...

  • Scheduled down-time Tuesday 19th of Jan 2010

    All the Nexus sites and the forums will be taken down tomorrow from 1pm GMT while the forums are moved to a new web server. The down-time is expected to last a maximum of 4 hours and all the sites should be back by 5pm GMT. This move should insure a faster response and more stability across all the Nexus sites 24/7 for the foreseeable future while helping to facilitate an update of all the back-end code of the Nexus sites which I'm currently undertaking that should be finished by the end of F...

  • New Premium Member server and server stability update

    The new year is upon us and with it comes its share of joys and jolts. First things first the move to the new file server architecture is now complete and there are now 4 file servers for the 3 Nexus sites. Please insure that you try and pick servers with the least number of users on them; although one location might be closer to you than the others the file speeds are still currently capped at 150kb/sec so it really shouldn't matter too much. On a similar note there is now a second Premiu...

  • Recent validation email problems

    All the Nexus sites have experienced issues sending out the validation emails for new members (or any emails for that matter) over this weekend. I apologise for this problem that I now believe to be fixed. I can't possible reply to all the emails sent in about this issue so sorry about that too! If you try now it should now work. If you registered today then you will need to wait 24 hours for your unvalidated account to be deleted so you can sign up again. Alternatively try logging in to the ...

  • Top 50 endorsed files

    With the addition of the 300th mod uploaded to the site a couple of days back I have added a link to the Top 50 most endorsed files. For those new to Nexus sites there are several different listings and ways of sorting the top 50, including the ability to sort by individual categories and see the most endorsed files in the past two weeks. We are all aware that as a rating system the endorsement system is far from perfect but the staff here would all agree that it is ten times better than the ...

  • Dragon Age Modder, helping you install/uninstall Dragon Age Mods

    Community member jwvanderbeck has become a great asset to the early Dragon Age modding community, not least because he has just released a great new utility for Dragon Age players and builders alike. Here's the blurb from his site: DAModder is designed as a full replacement for Bioware’s “DAUpdater” program. DAUpdater is designed for players to easily install Bioware’s DLC content, and is available to be used to install 3rd party modules as well. However, while DAUpdater is a nice ...

  • Changes to the file servers

    Over the course of the next week the file servers across all the Nexus sites will be coming offline one at a time so upgrades can be made. The fundamental way in which the file servers operate will also be changing. At the moment each Nexus site has its own file server(s); two for TESNexus, one for Fallout 3 Nexus and one for Dragon Age Nexus. Once the upgrades to the file servers have been made all four file servers will be used by all three Nexus sites, balancing out the bandwidth and load ...

  • Your thoughts on improving this site

    It's oh so cliché to say on the internet these days but this site is run "by gamers, for gamers", or maybe "by modders, for modders". Recently I've been putting a lot of work in to improving various aspects of the site, ramping up the functionality, increasing usability and action efficiency and generally trying to roll out updates that are going to improve things around here based on recommendations from users within the community. Indeed I've found I have a lot more time for coding these ...

  • Follow Nexus on Twitter

    The Nexus now has its own Twitter page updated by yours truly. Now none of the staff are really big on Twitter as a personal tool; "Robin is going to the toilet", "Robin has had a hard day", "Robin is going to have a bath tonight", noone cares about that sort of rubbish, not even my friends, but what Twitter is handy for is keeping people up-to-date on changes to the site as well as providing a medium to communicate problems to people if for whatever reason (touch wood) the site goes down. Th...

  • Something "cool" coming tomorrow

    Fans of Dragon Age: Origin on Facebook might have noticed that at around midnight GMT the admin of the page had this to say "If I was a fan of Dragon Age: Origins, I'd be keeping my eye open for something cool coming tomorrow. Just saying.". What could it be? Keep your eyes peeled and let me know if you find anything....

  • Day two; file server up

    It took a bit longer than expected for my server provider to push me through a new server but the new server is now up and operational as of 10 minutes ago, located in Washington DC. The download speed cap has been raised to 250kb/sec as server traffic won't be too high with the small amount of mods available so far, and I'll continue to monitor the bandwidth graphs throughout tomorrow to see if this limit can be raised further. The site is gradually filling out, and another big thanks to the...

  • Day one in numbers

    So Dragon Age Nexus has been launched just over 24 hours now and I'm really pleased with the response from the community. Many users on many different forums have expressed their positive opinions on the matter, and some their negative ;) and it has all come together nicely. To paint a picture of the first day in stats: 21 files 3,700 downloads 15,000 unique visitors 100,000 page views Impressive stats for a site that's only a day old :) I want to thank all the authors who have take...

  • Site launched

    Welcome to Dragon Age Nexus, the third Nexus site. Nexus sites are community driven file sites that allow file authors (mods, utilities and images) to upload their work in an easy to use and maintain interface for others to view, download and use. If you have never used a Nexus site before then a hearty welcome, it might take a little while to get used to where everything is but I highly recommend joining the 1,250,000 other members of the site and forums and experiencing and adding to what t...

  • Modding competition winners announcement

    It's now been quite a while since the close of the Millionth Member Competition for TESNexus. While the competition blurb stated that the judging would be done by myself and a panel of judges I decided a while ago that I wanted to do it myself; several authors spent a lot of time to create community mods for TESNexus that I really wanted to play through thoroughly myself and give them the time and attention they deserved. First of all let me say it was a real pleasure and an honour to play th...

  • Elder Scrolls V possibly set 200 years after Oblivion

    It seems Waterstones, the famous book sellers, might have dropped the ball on the Elder Scrolls V. In a blurb for the new Elder Scrolls book by Greg Keyes, The Elder Scrolls: Infernal City, the page editor put up this interesting tidbit: A novel that takes place forty-five years after the Oblivion Crisis, which is the story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion game and the expansion pack Shivering Isles. It partly bridges the gap for the next game, which is set 200 years after the Oblivion crisi...
