| And one more thing. What happened with friends "compatibility"? |
| I kinda dig the new design. I wish the favourites would be displayed at all times though, without having to click the arrow below it. Seems kind of unneccassary to me. |
 That this zero mean? |
Akagi-kun said: Negative affinity. So you can track edgelords easier.That this zero mean? |
 |
| I think if you move the "About" box to where it was before, make deletion the thumbnails of friends from the ribbon (it is absolutely not necessary and not informative), slightly modify the display of favorites, the situation with design changes will be a bit better. |
| Imo the Anime stats and updates should be read vertically, like this And the About Me should be on the bottom, or we should have the flexibility to choose where to put it. We also can't see other peoples anime list views? How am I suppose to know how famous they are now??! |
| Since this is suppose to be constructive, I'll give my opinion on what I like and what I think could be changed. I'll start with the positives. I like how the 'watching, on hold, and plan to watch, ect is now color coded. I also like the green line that shows how far you are into a series. Like many others have already said, I would move the 'about me' section away from the top and somewhere to the side. And having the comment button under the profile pic is kinda redundant since there's already one in the comments section. Anyway just my two cents. :D |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| I've asked around and talked to a lot of people (especially my closer friends that I trust) and I think the biggest problems are 1) the placement of the About Me section is irregular/obstructive. 2) the statistics and favourites now take up one whole screen (1000px on mine) making navigation a bit of a chore 3) no option to turn features off or switch to the old layout This problem could have been prevented by giving users a chance to beta test the site layout by opting in to try out the new layout. I know a lot of people who aren't usually irrational and hasty people thinking about leaving because of this change. While I don't understand their impatience, I understand their motivation. |
|
| What I really don't like is the 'About Me' section placement.. This is the least what I can say. FloatsBoats said: Imo the Anime stats and updates should be read vertically, like this Agreed. |
 |
| i think a other thing is to change the corresponding color for examples blue=watching green=completed |
 |
| I'm so disappointed. I will never accept it. |

| I don't think I personally agree with this new profile layout. I won't hate the site for implementing this to be permanent, but I think the system should be ran a little bit better before actually putting these changes into action. The site gave no notice aside from the forum post - that wasn't even a day old to give notice to a big change that many people visit on MAL, the profiles. I feel as if someone from the staff should give a notice a month - or even a week - before hand to let people get the idea that change is a possibility soon. A possible solution to solve this idea of not even knowing what it'll look like and get a ton of mixed feelings from the sudden change would be to post a screenshot or a preview of what the change will look like. An example of it would be the way other sites and games handle changes. They publish what the new item or layout will look out through screenshots and post it to see what the mass will think of it. Although my only complaint isn't only the entire abrupt change without any notice, I think people are taking the idea of 'list views' or anything of that sort a little too lightly. A lot of the people that I've met on this site love to see the idea of a 'list count' to see their track on the site and see how much they've grown from day 1 of creating their profile. In a similar fashion, the old layout of "AIM" and "MSN" being in the spot that was in the old layout gave room for the profile to make itself an individual rather than actual other methods of contacting said person's profile. |

| It was suggested and heavily supported that you would be able to update your progress on your recently watched/read things straight from the profile page with a "+" button. This was never implemented which is beyond me, probably the best suggestion that was in that thread, simple too |
 |
| the page has become so much longer stats and favorites panels are too big, making the comment section being too far down 1) it could help if Favorites were back on the side, or if there still were profile pages, instead of having everything into the same page 2) Anime and Manga Stats don't need to be on 2 separate lines, having them side by side like before was a smart way to don't take too much space FloatsBoats said: support thisImo the Anime stats and updates should be read vertically, like this And the About Me should be on the bottom, or we should have the flexibility to choose where to put it. also allow to edit Profile Panels order, or bring the stats back on the top, Stats are the most important thing of MAL, people can have their fancy blogs somewhere else 3) Affinity to You and Stats should stay close to each other, no sense having them splitted |

FloatsBoats said: We also can't see other peoples anime list views? How am I suppose to know how famous they are now??! That's my biggest complain |
| That the Anime Stats and Last Updates are horizontally instead of vertically was addressed in the update thread. BUT I'd like to have the Anime/Manga stats side by side nontheless IF I use the limited privacy option that MAL provides and hide the last updates. Currently I do have Last Anime Updates and Last Manga Updates in there but if you expand it by clicking the small history link above those sections you won't see anything since I have turned them off. This little detail seems contradictory to the privacy option and indicates a high possibility that MAL will not do anything to improve the well known pigeon-holes in privacy in the near future. And I have to disagree wholeheartedly that About Me should be put below statistics (by default). The profile is your personal playground and it makes sense to put the section where you have the most freedom with at the top. Statistics are more off-putting as they require you to think more than some text (it's a usability thing you may not agree with because you're simply not used to it). Having said that I'd like the links under "Also Available at" (why is it "Available at" and not "available at" or "Available At"?) above the Anime List / Manga List buttons. It's weird having them so far down in your sidebar, it's like the links don't exist but MAL has always been nitpicky about how links to other sides are embedded. For now it's probably better putting websites in your About Me. Overall I like it, though but it's always the same in every community. As soon as a severe layout update is introduced that improves a lot while not being perfect at first, everyone is bitching loudly, see last.fm, or trakt.tv. Besides that these two majorly fucked up core functions for weeks or months and you should be happy MAL manages not to fuck up so majorly. It's funny to observe the same reaction every time. :D If this is the direction anime pages will move towards to, I am looking forward to it. Edit: In case your about me is too long or have more favs in your lists, those "gradients" should give a visible feedback if you mouse hover, like darkening in color. So that you know what you are clicking on, opaque white over a white background isn't really helping here and easy to overlook entirely. |

| Good things: The 3 basic buttons of messag/comment/addfriend are useful, look better and we didn't need anything else here. In fact, the whole left side looks good. Forum Posts, Clubs, Reviews all should be next to each other. I also like that friends are more visible now. It's easier to see it. The colorful stats look easier on the eye It's great that the comment box is above the comments. The bad: The stats look weird standing in the middle of the profile. Maybe it's something I'll get used to, but right now I get this urge to grab it and put it higher. As for the favorites, I suggest displaying them in a row rather than a column. The middle is wider, not narrower. Columns look okay on the side, but in the wide middle it looks like extra space. It will also be prettier to see a row of larger images of my favorite characters |

Fixes to make the Profile more bearable after "the Modern★Profile★Update★★Rip★Profile★" |
| My feedback. I do not like it. At least (for me) place the statistic on top, the the profile info down. Just change the place between the two. Thats my opinion, Thank you. And have a great Anime Marathon. |
| Other than that the "About Me" section is on top, I do like the new UI, however I'd prefer to have said section in the bottom, and insted show the animes that I'm watching at top along with the favourites and stuff. Because as it is now, you usually just runs in to a big wall of text, whenever you visit another's profile, but you don't get any impression of what said person is currently watching, or his/her preferences. |
