I really don't like how the "about me" is above anime stats. Not that I have anything posted in mine really... but when I'm creeping on other people's profiles I wanna see how many days and what they recently watched first and the "about me" below.

4 color in the bar.. lol this so reminds me of my ppt XDD
And you now writes comment on the upper side. It's nice, but the faves section.. meh.
Anyway it needs sometime to get used to it, perhaps there's v.2 of this?

With how excessively long some people's bios are, you'll be scrolling forever before you can get to any real information, which is not at all a welcome change. The rest I could get used to but that is a big problem. I would switch that information to the top and keep the profile info below it

I like it. It's got a nice bit of color now and is still simple and clean and displays a lot of information in a decent amount of space. The only thing that is bothering me so far is my rewatches. They're displaying as "-/[x episodes]" no matter how many episodes I've watched. image

It looks terrible. And it has nothing to do with it being change so you're 'going to get used to it'. It's crowded and messy. I don't even want an 'about me anymore. At least move the stats above 'about me' if I'm being forced to look at this every day.

Yeah likewise. I really do hope they fish past the "ew change this suxxxx!" and pay attention to the constructive criticism.

I honestly like your set-up better, with the stats and updates side by side. Here's another one I made to get a bigger picture of how it'd look (in general).

I kinda wish the gender thing had been implemented, but not having it there at all is better than seeing 'Not Specified'. I don't know if you can or can't go back to 'Selected'/Nothing there if you click male or female later, but if you can, then that's nice. Anyone want to test that for me? I don't want to test that just in case it's just like, "NOPE. YOU'RE STUCK WITH MALE OR FEMALE. PICK ONE. LOLOL".

I also kinda wish the About Me section was below my stats and maybe my favorites and such though. I have a gif there but only because if I go to my page it won't lag until I scroll (if I ever scroll). So it worked out for me, but now that it's at the top where I can't avoid it, I'm going to have to take it off or else my laptop will end up freezing a lot.

I'm fine with how the stat bar is now, but I'm not sure about those colors. This is such a nitpick, but I feel like the colors throw off the color scheme of the site maybe? The colors kinda remind me of those disgustingly dirty play areas at fast food places; the circles for 'watching', 'completed', and such are the balls in the ball pen.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone pointed this out, but if you go to a side page such as "Clubs" or "Recommendations" and click on "Statistics", it won't work. Not sure if it's intended for "Statistics" to be a useless button on those pages or not.

Overall, I'm fine with the layout. Thanks for changing things up. It's still able to be used in a way that's not confusing, so it's fine with me. Most of my gripes are "suck it up because no one else cares" type of nitpicks. Everything else I'm fine with or can at least get used to. Thanks again, MAL. I'm sure most users will get used to it (even if begrudgingly). I think at some point you have to ask, "Who is your profile for? Who looks at it the most? Who utilizes it the most?" I think the answers to the last questions would be "me", but for the first question, I dunno; one would have to ask the developers who it's meant for, and then at that point, we might end up looking at this change in a different way.

EDIT: Also, the images on the favorites are really blurry.

Stats above About Me. put favs somewhere else. Remove friend's avatars from our profile.
These 3 changes can make the biggest difference. I don't hate the new layout, just it's organization.
And of course, the fact that they removed some old features that people already commented here.

I like the new stats design. Favorites crowds the profile, as mentioned above should probably go to its old place on the sidebar. Also I do prefer stats up at the top, I'm sure I visit my own profile more often than anyone else and that is what I like to look at.

My biggest concern about this update is now the profile design is inconsistent with the design of the rest of the site. In that regard I prefer the old profile style, though it's not like I dislike the new one. But at the same time, I feel there should be site-wide consistency as far as design goes and I'm not sure I'd like the rest of the site having a similar design as the new profile...

For the profile, like many others have said, I would prefer having the "About Me" section directly above the comments; it's weird having the about me suddenly as soon as you go to someone's profile, and the stats and recent updates should be the first thing you see on someone's profile. Therefore I think having the ability to move and hide various sections of the profile would be nice, kind of like how you can do with your "My Panel" page.

Also, I'm not exactly too fond of the new favorites. I feel like they should be put back on the left side how they used to be, but with all the new information on the side now the favorites would feel out of place so I'm not sure how to feel about it. And not that I really care that much, but I think you should have the option to at least hide the "friends" section, rather than showcase it on your profile because I don't think that's important at all to have on the profile page. Maybe make it like the recommendations, review, clubs, etc., and just have a link to the friends with the number of friends next to it.

In all, I'm fine with the new profile but I would like to see a few changes to it.

I earned some qualifications in web design a few years ago, I'm ashamed to admit that now. Every site I use is being willfully destroyed by people who don't seem to have an idea of what they are doing. STOP IT! JUST STOP IT! Stop breaking things that didn't need fixing to justify your existence and say it was "much needed changes"...just bloody stop it! Somebody link me to the change.org petition plz.

This is a downgrade to what we had before. People will get over it and move on but I think on a quality side this will linger on and maybe effect market share. I don't know how many other sites are in your market. When I see people saying stuff like deleting their favorites or about me sections to compensate for the lack of continuity of our profiles have now. Is pretty alarming.

I just hope the next update isn't clubs XD.
