    I have a problem with opening tabs too, I can have even more tabs than that open. Across multiple chrome windows...

    You should see the RAM usage! o.o

    mods are mods, they aren't what people paid for.

    this review is valid and fine.

    I think it was more about how the user apparently did not realize there are mods, even though there is a big button in the main menu that invites you to install them.

    Maybe actually promote mods in the main menu? I mean, that did originally work quite well for the Twitch streams as well, didn't it?

    Since modding did at last became a first class feature of PA, showcasing what is possible in a prominent way should encourage new users to experiment. Question would be then which mods to showcase, and based on what criteria?

    No matter what you do, some people will not notice.

    The UI was designed for stupid people but there are always stupid people even stupider than the stupid people

    What if I told you, that that "COMMUNITY MODS" link is actually less visible than the others, due to "green on blue" being a color combination which is pretty difficult to read - surprisingly even harder than light blue on dark blue?

    And now try hovering over the menu. All the other menu points brighten up both the background and the text color to keep the contrast high. For the "COMMUNITY MODS" link, the second one was forgotten. The result? It becomes almost impossible to read, as the contrast between text and background reaches a critical level with the only difference being in hue, and as we just learned, green on blue is difficult to distinguish. An element going into stealth when you hover it. Genius. That's an established way of saying "don't touch me, go away".

    Small detail, not so small effect.
