That's also one of the many fuck-ups Crave did with MAL, and, again, already many times discussed in Support Forum. I.e.: it's another ages-old bug that Crave didn't even tryin' to fix. Long story short, when you uploadin' new avatar/profile pic, it's need to be in another format (extension). I.e.: if your current avatar/profile pic is JPG, your new avatar/profile pic must be GIF or PNG.

Konzure, old news. You go here and just simply click on "Update Signature" (you don't need to actually change anythin'). Voila! You signature updated (it takes from 0.5 to 3 minutes to change dependin' on... G-d knows what. Server traffic?).
But yeah, that's all pretty much stupid, sad & annoyin' - to the point I'm actually thinkin' about switchin' to an other similar site (Anime-Planet, I guess).


My signature will change on a manual forced update - but then it doesn't update on other sites I use my signature.


Well same here. It only updates when I hit the manual update button. Automatic updates aren't working right now. But that's ok. I already replaced the method with something else.

Why can't the mods just change to another company? If Crave is incompetent it would be much easier and less stressful to just getter better to get some company and transfer the date base, wouldn' it?
I'm having a tough time to even update my list cause it don't update on 1st try thanks to this captcha shiit I even got 4 captcha in raw before being able to even see my list also some times I go back my profile and captcha and list update never happened than I have to got to my list again and update again while hoping captcha won't stop the update again.

If that is the case than I guess it'll be bugged forever. There was already a lot of bugs when I made an account they were not serious bugs like now but even those took almost a year to be fixed so I'm guessing the current ones will that even more time that if they are ever fixed.

It should only happen once per session, as far as I am aware. Only if you're deleting or not accepting the "visid_incap_" cookie should it keep showing up (or if your IP address or other information they are tying to you as a user keeps changing).

However, given how messed up Incapsula seems to be right now for this site, I wouldn't be surprised if even this is broken.

This isn't really rocket science, and without any public announcement it's difficult to tell what the timeline is for repairing the issue. I suppose if this isn't fixed by the end of week or an announcement is made on the status of a fix, it would be reasonable to believe that CraveOnline really doesn't care about this site or its community.

Makes me want to give up on MAL and find another site - the fact that Crave does not give two shits about this site really pisses me off. Serious issues usually take months to get fixed if we're lucky - most of them don't even get fixed properly and later pop up again. It's just fucking ridiculous. This site has so many issues right now, and only a few of the more serious ones ever get fixed - this site is a wreck.

There's a pretty decent site out there that may convince me to switch if I hear back from the admins about an API. I'm not sure about the rules here on listing competition, so I'll refrain from naming it for now.

Try building a third-party application that makes it easier to use the core functionality of the site (managing anime and manga lists), then you'll see how much worse it is than you think. Even serious issues aren't fixed for years if ever.

It wouldn't hurt so much if the site worked okay on smaller screens, but it's stuck in ancient times, making a tool all the more important.

As far as I can tell with a little searching, the blacklist maintained by Incapsula has a very long life and it'll take some time before it removes old entries. The only possible solution would be for Crave/MAL folks to go in and unblock you, but good luck with getting them to make that change.

Yeah I believe I know of the site you're referring to, I remember it coming up in discussion in /a/ about half a year back, but when I checked it out then, I hated the layout and the fact that they didn't an app like Mal Updater put me off - as I'd never keep my list updated if I had to do it manually.

Let us know about your enquiry regarding an API, If one gets developed and someone develops a program similar to Mal updater with it, I'm sure quite a large number of the userbase here will consider switching - it's getting to the point where it's just frustrating using a broken site like this, knowing the people in charge wont take the site seriously and fix it.

You can tell name but you can't provide the link, it's classified as spam/advertising.

My main problem with AP is that it's not friendly on small screens and they have explicitly refused to allow any kind of "API" for third-party efforts. I totally understand their reasoning, but without being friendly to my devices, it's not easy for me to use when I'm watching on TV and don't want a full computer next to me just to note my progress.

What if we offered advanced users the option to change the acceptable IP range?

For example, I had a dynamic IP, but it always stayed within 98.81.0.0/16 (so if my IP was 98.81.*.*, odds are it was me.)
I recently changed ISPs, and now my IP range is 24.0.0.0/8 (24.*.*.*)
However, some users have a static IP and so if the IP is different at all, you can be relatively certain it's not them.

If we allowed users to specify the range their IP can vary, then we could maximize security for users with a static IP, while not locking out people with different subnets.

We could even implement a feature to guess what a user's IP range is as their IP changes. After only 3 or 4 changes, the system could make a very good guess as to what the user's subnet was, and either implement the IP range protection automatically, or ask the user about it.

Apparently, trying to use the forbidden word with "t" can still get you IP banned by Incapsula.

While I appreciate the effort you've made that otherwise I don't get any messages by Incapsula at all since about last week, this behavior is even more nerve-wracking for me than a thousand CAPTCHA messages.

Seriously, 90's want their security back.

Cases when my ip changes wrt cookies:
When I carry my laptop to a new place,
When I connect to vpn for work,
When my cookies are synced between the home and work pcs,
When I visit parents with dynamic ip,
When I browse through my phone.

While not many cases are as extreme as mine, It is completely unreasonable to block by ip address these days. At very least there should be an option to disable this "feature" for your account.

I'm really tired of deleting cookies, re-logging and changing passwords...
