| I really like the new profile layout, but every prototype has flaws. I encourage other users to point out things I have missed. Please don't start flaming in this thread, I want to create a productive thread that will help capture all the ideas and put them in one place for the developers. That will ultimately be more helpful for the developers than having to sift through flame wars. Please stop asking for the old layout to come back. If you want to add to the count of people complaining about the new layout, post here instead. This is a place for constructive criticism of the new layout only. 1) Images are downscaled and then handled by the CSS to render it. For people with Stylish, this is an easy fix. I don't know if MAL plans to extend this to the rest of the site, but for people with limited bandwidth usage, this could pose problems on pages with a lot of thumbnails, as it is downscaling the original size thumbnail. Please have these thumbnails processed by the server before handing them out to us.  2) Profile image has the wrong width. It is supposed to be 225px, not 224px.  3) The grid is unaligned.  |

| revert everything except 10 favorites limit |
 |
| 1. Option to move boxes around, similar to how "My Panel" page worked and how modern DeviantART profile works. 2. Fix progress bar glitch. 3. Option to have one colour vs multiple colours. I don't like this rainbow they have going on. 4. Consistency. 5. Option to have Favourites like before. 6. Option to opt-out of bars. 7. Option to Spoiler comments, like before. To prevent unbalanced profile height. That's it from me. #1 would pretty much fix the complaints. |
| I'm not a fan of the drop down arrows; They seem redundant. It seems MAL was aiming to compress as many things as possible while still implementing user suggestions, but the final product was just a huge mess in my opinion. It sacrificed practicality for a new look that's pretty abysmal as well. I'd prefer if the anime stats/history/favorites were near the top again as well. That was usually the first thing I looked at and it gave me incentive to look at people's anime list and About Me. Almost no one will click an expand arrow to learn more about you. There's so much white space on the left still, I don't see why the devs couldn't just add a lot of the stats and features they removed for this superfluous update right there. The only real thing about this update that's anything close to good is the ability to have ten favorites of everything now, but again, the drop down arrow makes it pointless since no one will notice it, let alone click it. At least make them bigger or give them a more noticeable color. And MAL could have easily implemented this suggested feature without tearing up everyone's profile. /constructive criticism. |

The arrows was user suggested. I gave my constructive feedback against it and here we are. Like one person suggested it and everyone else was against it. I'd be happy if they at the very least put it back on the left side near the top again. But we're probably going to be stuck with this layout even though the response to it is overwhelmingly negative. |
I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it |
| How about we don't make changes that require a thread like this? Maybe actually go through some feedback cycles before making a change instead of just pretending they happened? I agree that helping to resolve this catastrophe is important, but please, can we also make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again? |
 |
| I have nothing good to say about the new design, it's actually really annoying. |

mayukachan said: Honestly even if it wasn't filled with Javascript magic to help you do it effortlessly, even if it worked like http://myanimelist.net/editprofile.php?go=panelsettings it would solve so many problems for people, and it would also open up so many possibilities.1. Option to move boxes around, similar to how "My Panel" page worked and how modern DeviantART profile works. |
|
| i like the modern design as well but the old suggestion about giving us the option to hide unused areas/section of the profile page is not implemented though, like if you do not have any favorites you get this annoying area/section saying "no favorites yet" blah blah, if you do not have anything on your about me section you will see this "write one now" message that is a annoyance to the user that do not want to have an about me section and also give us the option to have a show/hide button for the comments section for more minimalism |

| I only like the 'Favorites' part. edit: The enlarged portraits yes, however not the column style.

Before it used some sort of sine/cosine operations and then compared the affinity using the closeness to each other's value, (I think I got that right?) but now I don't know how it works. My friend is now at 66% and he and I pretty much share the same opinion on everything. I doubt I'm that far away from 100% from him. |

Option to have one colour vs multiple colours. I don't like this rainbow they have going on. That's it from me. #1 would pretty much fix the complaints. #1 I think is the best suggestion. If not, then at least move the About Me below the stats and list updates. I think people usually go to people's profile to look at their stats/lists first rather than to look at their About Me, since this site's primary function is its listing feature. Like this: As for the #2, I think it's best just to get rid of the progress bar. It's redundant given that it already says 2/12 or 4/-, there's really no need for the bar. It definitely doesn't make sense when a show with unknown episodes or manga with unknown chapters gets half of the bar filled. I think the recent history sections was fine the way it was, although I do like how there are separate sections for last anime and last manga updates. #3, I don't like the colors either, I think simple is better. I really like MAL because it's always just been blue and white. edit: added Oiacz's screenshot |

Goes to show how people don't like the new design. (I don't know why you're so aggressive, and think I'm clogging up some threads. Take a chill pill, man) A choice between the new and old style would be a nice; a nice compromise. |

Asking for a complete revert is, I feel, kinda rude to the devs who 'wasted' their time on it. Hope you understand. No hard feelings. And I feel bad for the devs too, because I don't like the new style. With time I probably will get used to it. |
| can anyone try if the profile images are automatically resize now? or do you still need to upload the exact dimensions for it to be accepted? i do not want to change my profile image right now if its still the old one, then please MAL implement automatic resize of images depending on the max dimensions of the site already, not just on the profile page but all over the site including the forums |
mayukachan said: Undim said: I'd rather have less favourites like before and on the left side instead.The arrows was user suggested. I gave my constructive feedback against it and here we are. ^ This. Would much rather have less if it meant getting that entire section back at the top/left. |
| I can get over the fact that they removed the stats bars, but then why adding bars on the recent updates instead? Those ones are 10 times more useless than the previous one no matter how I look at it. If you want a visual in color to see if an entry is finished or "reading" why not change directly the color of the text for example? Use the won place for something else ImO. |

| and anyone here have a lot of youtube and GIF images in their profile? did you see any speed improvements or lazy/dynamic loading behavior like images and youtube videos will not load unless you scroll down and focus on it, that is how images and videos are loaded on facebook for example to not hang the browser when huge numbers of images and videos load all at once i really hope they implement that lazy/dynamic image/video loading already |
| ^I think it's loading faster, not sure. http://myanimelist.net/profile/Stark700 It used to take a lot longer to load Stark's page, although I'm not sure if he has taken anything off of his About Me since the last time I went on his page. On the other hand, is it just me, or does com-to-com load slower now? |

I think any size is fine, I just tried it with a image with larger width dimension than specified, and it resized. I'm not sure if that's what you mean though.

If it wasn't the same scale, it would stretch the image. |

| ah i see thanks tingy and Tensho so they did improve that at least, its been a long time when i have uploaded a new profile picture so i got no idea and i do not want to change or reupload my current one just to test it EDIT: tingy said: If it wasn't the same scale, it would stretch the image. almost miss this, so they still have not perfected that automatic scaling/resizing then |

ios said: tingy said: If it wasn't the same scale, it would stretch the image. almost miss this, so they still have not perfected that automatic scaling/resizing then No no no, I was telling Tensho that it wasn't automatically resized before, meaning that the problem was it didn't scale the image down properly and would cause the image to stretch. It is fixed, as I have checked with a larger image and it didn't stretch when uploaded. |
