Located on the top bar when logged in the notification icon will tell you if you have any new notifications by turning red and will tell you how many notifications you have. Clicking the notification icon will produce a pop-up area and display the new notifications for you to browse.
Click to see the notifications in action
At this time you'll receive notifications for three different events:
- If someone comments on or endorses one of your uploaded files via one of the Nexus sites
- If one of your tracked files has a new file uploaded to it. You won't be notified of anything other than new file uploads for the files you're tracking
- If a news article is posted on the site
Your new notifications are cleared once you've viewed them and afterwards the notification window will show the 5 latest items from each list.
While annoying that this feature is limited to only Premium Members it is a resource intensive feature and the servers wouldn't be able to cope with every member having this feature. Unfortunately I don't have my own data centre and server farm to process everyone's notifications! I am however glad that I can give a new feature to the members who help towards the massive server bill the network racks up. If you are interested in donating to the site and becoming a Premium Member take a look at the premium membership information page.
Please report any errors or oddities to me in the Feedback section of the forums for me to take a look at.
I hope the Premium Members like this new feature and I'll look in to adding more notifications for different events over time such as comments on Image Share uploads.

A moderator has closed this comment topic for the time beingBut to my point of the comment, I like the updates myself, I haven't fully tested it though, so I cannot form a precise opinion of it, but I'm liking it so far. I guess I like being lazy.

If it's that important to you, why not make a new topic in the proper place, especially since it has nothing to do with Dark0ne's news post.
also suggesting my behavior to be ridiculous and narcissistic is completely uncalled for. As I said before, "Updating a description everyday is a little unnesesary", and I wouldn't do it anyway.
I just think it would be nice to have a bigger Latest Files section. Not because of narcism, but because of the fact that it only has 10 pages.
'Tone' doesn't carry well over text. Let me clarify: I consider that behavior to be ridiculous and overly narcissistic.
There's no reason to expand the Updated Recently page when 95% of it is those type of 'updates'... especially since going into a category and sorting by 'Date Updated' will show a new user every file available (along with pictures and descriptions).
Just a thought

You could always just make a small change to the description, as EmptyPuppet was doing for awhile, and it will be on the list every day.
That said, new players and people returning from hiatuses are far more likely to use (and far better off using)the 'Top Files' and Categories pages sorted by 'downloads' or 'last updated' to find Mods they missed.
On the next update you make to Nexus, could you maybe think about extending the latest files to more than 10 pages. Uploads seem to be slamming in here like they are going out of style.
Their are so many members joining everyday. And it seems alot are missing out on the great mods that are available. Members like myself see their uploads come and go in a matter of days. Then it seems they are never to be heard of again.
Im thinking like 20 to 30 pages of the latest files should suffice. any user who is a regular on here would be able to see all the latest files uploaded without missing anything.
Anyway this is just a thought DarkOne. thought Id throw it your way. Thanks for making this the best mod website to date. Cheers!
