| It’s finally here! Months ago (back in May) we announced that we were planning to develop a new design for our Profile section. After soliciting the community’s ideas and feedback, we took to the drawing board and created requirements and design mockups for what we thought best captured MAL’s unique character. So after many weeks of testing and numerous rounds of feedback, I’m now proud to announce and showcase the new profiles! Please feel free to provide feedback in this thread. We’d also like to see any bugs or issues you might find mentioned here as well. We weren’t able to incorporate every suggestion or idea into the design, but I hope we implemented the most important and popular ones. We have another round of changes planned for the future, so don't think this is it! Head on over to your favorite user’s profile to view these new features and let us know what you think. It will be released shortly! Update Below you'll find a list of some of the design choices made based on feedback from users in the Community Feedback and Suggestions thread. This is not an exhaustive list, but attempts to address main concerns users may have. Update 2 The following bugs were fixed today:
More fixes will be coming soon. |

| My nigga Xinil Lets see whats screwed up now. |
| I don't see anything new in the design or the editing methods. Could you explain in further depth what has changed? Edit:OH DEAR GOD I SEE IT NOW. This will take some time to get used to, but I welcome the change. |

| NO NO NO NO NO NO NO |
 |
| Looks really cool based on my twenty seconds with it. |
| Looks more like old Facebook now. It'll take a while to get used to the new design. Anime/Manga List Views seems to have disappeared! :O |

| I want the old back =/ |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I hate change....i'll get used to it though... Honestly...I don't think this will be popular. |
shuryukan said: NOOOOONO NO NO NO NO NO NO This is not okay. At least give us an option to choose these designs. I don't want my favorites in the middle of my page, ugh. |
 |
| Meh |
 |
| Garbage. I can't even offer constructive criticism of this. It's all completely awful in every respect. |
| It's Facebook changes all over again! |
| Personally I liked the old one more. But, I guess I just have to get accustomed to this new format. |
| rly |
 |
| HOLY SHIT!! This is gonna take some time to get used to. Damn. |
| Love it! You guys did an exceptional job! |
| MY PROFILE!!!!! |
Hadske said: Can we please revert back as an option . I like the simple layout This please I swear every time I see a Xinil post now it's bad news. |
| The longer I look at it the more I can smell it. Absolutely nothing about is good. And all my stats bars are gone! |
|
| This is going to take a bit to get used to. |

| CHANGE IT BACK IT LOOKS LIKE FUCKING SHIT |
| noice, good work MAL |
| Well since the new anime stat meter has the total mean score already then I guess there's no need for a MALgraph anymore. |
| Wow! Big change. Looks pretty good so far. |
 |
| Well, that was surprising. ._. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Will take time to get used to since I been here since 2011 but can you make Rewatched removable from my profile? |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| Wow, gonna take some getting used to. I was able to add a 6th favorite to my anime and manga too. Didn't check if I can add more. Did this change or is this a bug? I hope it isn't a bug |
    |
| Well there goes all the comment customizations. |
|
| AHHHHHH I love the new update on the design profile |
 |
| It would be nice if we have the option to go back to the old design. |
  |
| Why is there no stat of the total comments made by the user? |
| it looks cute change is good |
| save all the cute girls from ntr manga |
| ...Why? |
 |
| Change is always a difficult thing, but I think I'll get used to this eventually. |
 |
| the option to pick between the old and the new would have been nice dont like the positioning of the last list updates needs to be back in the top corner the arrows that hide the about me section and the lower half of my favourite characters that need to be clicked to view them are also rather annoying |
| SWFC We're all Wednesday arent we? |
| I like it. :) |
| Make it go away. |
 |
| People always go apeshit when anything changes. I'm sure we'll all get used to this, even if it looks weird at first. |

| Woah, pretty big change. Not sure how I feel about it. Probably spite because change isn't my thing. But oh jolly, now my dank profile banner will be even more visible. Guess banners will be more useful for profiles now so you have incentive to click that little expand arrow. Glad you can have ten favorites for everything now though, even though that little expand arrow seems unnecessary. Don't really like the new anime stats. Seems kind of clunky, but stat bars like that are becoming the norm anyway. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| I like it. It makes the site look fresh. |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| Oh my God, that was actually a nice change! It looks so cute, I'll probably get used to it by tomorrow. I love the new improvements. Though I don't like my favorites being at the bottom. Please considerate that. Otherwise, thanks to the people who worked on this! PD: I agree with giving option to switch back to those people who can't or won't get used to it. I just noticed you can add more anime favorites now. Brb crying. |

| Please give us an option to switch back. It looks so messy. |
| OMG it's so ulgy. Plz no!!! |
