Steam Workshop Search Broken
The information in mod.xml will show up in Steam. Choose a short (and unique) name and don’t change it from the Steam Workshop interface, only update by modifying the mod.xml. Start the game, the mod should now show up in the game’s Mods menu. Very important! Make sure all paths inside your mod point to the data/ folder, and NOT.

Fix DNS Problems
A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.
Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type 'ipconfig /flushdns' and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.
Check our help page for step-by-step instructions on how to change your DNS.

In order to compete with the Steam Workshop, search functionality needs to be looked at.(It's interesting that that got truncated after being posted.)
The Nexus lacks search functionality, plain and simple. The thing of it is is that the Nexus is likely going to lose people in droves - not at the moment, because Bethesda needs to fix up their stuff, but in the near future. The reason for this is search functionality. The Nexus has always skimped on it, but the Workshop hasn't. This is where the Workshop could very easily win.
Here are some points that make me want to use the Workshop:
1.) You can search inside description text. The Workshop does this by default, so if I search 'quest,' I get all the mods which mention that they're a quest or quest chain. You could have the option to either search by title or within the description. If there's an option to search in descriptions, I haven't seen it (it's obfuscated in that case).
2.) You need to offer non-adult versions of all of the hot files pages. For example, I want to be able to do a search for 'most endorsed files in the last 7 files, adult mods excluded.' I feel that I want to go straight over to the Workshop when I search for the most popular mods of the last three days and 90% of them are adult mods. Adult mods are fine, but once you've seen one of them, you've seen them all. However, the way they're dominating content on the Nexus means that stuff like valid game fixes and new content (dungeons and such) is buried.
3.) You need to offer a way to search by downloads, similar to the endorsements. So I can see the mods which have been downloaded the most in the last three days, rather than endorsed the most. This needs to be an option. That I can't do that makes me want to use the Workshop because that helps me find obscure new mods which deserve attention, but may otherwise get buried under the chaff.
4.) You need a way to offer more than 25 results in the above two cases. I think 100 results in both would be fair. But considering that the Workshop goes back through pages and pages of mods, you need to be able to compete with that.
If the Nexus doesn't compete with these features, which the Workshop already has, then by the time Steam and Bethesda fix up their crap, the Nexus will fall into obscurity, and the only mods on Skyrim Nexus will be the ones that aren't allowed on the Workshop. That's not the sort of fate I want to see befall the Nexus. The Nexus has always fallen short with search functionality - now might be a good time to do that. Lest the competition wins, really.
---
As an extension to this, you may want to hire a small staff to do things like 'mod of the day.' Where each day someone will pick one interesting mod to talk about. This provides people who work on content mods and such the chance to be seen. It would also entice people to bring their works over from the Workshop to the Nexus.
Also, allow mod authors themselves to apply for a spotlight. They may not get in, but at least they can. This would be different from the featured mod of the month, since it would just be a positive review of a mod which stays up for a day before it's replaced by another mod.
