It would require some heavy editing though, it will break a lot of designs that arent updated. tbh a lot of people probably wouldnt be bothered to recreate their designs and just make a totally new one, including me. Also could this be updated to include the "title" attribute in the links again, especially because the lists arent separated so we cant see exactly how many shows are in each section without checking the Statistics on our profiles. I was using the title attribute in the old design for a tool tip for how many entries are in each section. |

Unsubstantiated said: Thanks for giving us the option to keep the old feature. Not a bad update but if you have a decent list it takes ages to load (even without images). Also not everyone has a big internet connection. |

| I prefer simplicity however I do appreciate the change. It makes customizing your list a lot easier I think, compared to before which is good for those that want to change things up. Really glad we're allowed to stay with the old theme even if it's only until the kinks are worked out for this new theme. The cover/intro is really large, I think it might be better to shorten it in future updates. |
| after checking it, the new list isn't that bad, using the status colors to separate the status categories looks neat if only that stupidly huge banner wasn't there, the list should start in about the first 20 pixels from the top, not after 300px good, that banner can be removed the 300 loading limit may become a problem later, but i use my lists only to track what i'm watching/reading, anything else doesn't matter if they don't load i'll need to go save the setting of my old edited manga-list, and reproduce that once there are more "easy list design" options, until there are more editing options i'll continue to use the classic complains: - the edit link for the tags is a bit awkward, you shouldn't have two lines if they can fit on one - when you sort(by score) in "ALL" it would be good to still have the separation of categories --- or being able to choose if to have the sorting working over everything, or only inside the specific status categories while keeping the separation Simplo said: was ready to say that once they'll remove the old mode i'm ready to move to aniDB, but if they manage to give "at least" the same editing options of the old lists it may not be that badpovsuduvolosy said: Yeah, I'm ok with old one, it's more compact. So I wont move to new one. Problem is that they will remove the old design in the future. Why the hell will they do it is beyond me. still agree they gain nothing from removing the old one, the only thing they gain is pissing off some members wish it was possible to have modern on animelist and classic on mangalist, i would be fine with just that (never cared anything about the animelist looks, but still like my edited mangalist more) |

| @Zeando They will be adding the same things you can do with the old design, so Advanced CSS etc. Although I still don't want them to remove the old design as I cant be bothered to make another design all because they forced a design on me, I also don't like that they removed the title attribute from the links, as I use them for tool tips in my designs. |
| Oh gosh, thanks so much for allowing us to keep the classic at this time.;; I wasn't ready for a change in that aspect of the site and am using my list so frequently at the moment that I don't have the time (patience) to work with a new list style.;; I'll see if I can work with the new layout in order to give it a chance and maybe help look for bugs possibly this weekend or next weekend (or if I have free time during this week). Maybe I'll try for the time between anime seasons to work with it?? Seems like a lot of drawing I'd have to do to make something I'd like, ha hah. |
| just noticed there is discrimination over the classic :u classic has 402Kb as size limit for background images while modern has 1Mb wonder what is the tecnical reason.. (hope the updates on more editing options will be soon) |

| Really like it! It feels more organised and clean. For me who ins't experience with CSS, it's a lot easier to get it to look nice. Thanks! |

flash0101 said: See how peaceful it is when you don't force new updates down our throats and actually let us have an option to chose from? Glad you guys learned your lesson after the whole profile update mess that happened a few months ago. They still might, they said they wont discontinue the classic design yet. So I still expect them to remove it after they iron out the new design. Although I really hope they dont remove it as I dont want to have to make a new design to accommodate MAL shoving unwanted updates down my throat. |

| It's pretty cool actually, gonna switch to the modern design when I find a good, not too used layout. Enjyu said: It has the potential to be really cool but as the previous user said the topper thing is too big, I like the idea of making the anime list rows higher so it's easier to read titles, but pictures is too much, it also takes forever to load 700 images, as other users already mentioned separate sections for the All anime section would have been a good move. It has a number of really good points and the best one is we can revert to the old design! Please do not remove it, my poor machine here can not handle something so heavy as the new design, it lags and crashes before loading 300! You must have a pretty good machine then xD But once all the pictures are downloaded for the first time it won't matter much since you'll need to download the new ones. If you do not clean your cache obviously. And I doubt there won't be an option to disable all those pictures. NOOOOOOOOOW! IS MAL TAKING OVER THE OTHER ANIME COMMUNITIES? It is and it won't take much longer for MAL to be larger than all of them combined. Good work, for I while (for like 4 years) I thought you guys wouldn't change shit in the website but it turns out in the last year you guys did an amazing job at improving it, impressive. Keep up the good work. |

| I really like the new list design. Gonna stick with it. |
| I'm glad we can keep our old list style :) |
| I usually make my list design with CSS coding but when I don't feel like coding, I will check out this feature. |
Hayth said: I really like the new list design. Ye, but i have a question: Can i enlarge the anime thumbnails? |
| Another issue with the design, bad support for screen readers. Your icons shouldnt be done like that. Upload the svg files to something like icomoon.io and create a font with the icons. Glyphs are much better as it reduces page file size and when done properly screen readers wont try to read out the icon. |
| I don't like it so I love that you let us use the old one. But, can I turn off the stupid announcement that tells me the list was redesigned? |
 |
| Who tested this? It doesn't have any restrictions on file size or do any resizing. Trying to upload a massive file just gets a connection reset error, probably because the server restricts size but the application doesn't. And if it has options for CSS you may as well allow complete restyling. |
j0x said: Scabon said: Please consider addressing the Control-F issue with the current design before you drop support for the old design. If you are viewing a MAL with 1,000+ entries using the new design, you have to scroll down to the bottom of the Web page multiple times so that it would load the whole list. You can't use Control-F reliably until the whole list has been loaded. its dynamic/lazy loading that is done on all modern sites to help poor internet speed users like me, so dont change it please MAL devs, the reason it helps poor internet speed is that it only loads the rest when you scroll down as you said i also explained the same on this thread http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1482766 Easy: Give us the possibility to choose if we want partial loading or not. If you want, use the settings to enable it, and then every list you open will be partial loaded. And if I don't want, I'll disable the option and all lists that I open will full load in just one go. This way MAL helps members with low internet connection AND members that want everything loaded to use CTRL+F. But... it's MAL we're talking about. Giving ideas to benefit everybody is just a waste of time. |

Now I get an error message if the file is above 1MB (IMO too small) but it will still upload the whole thing before returning an error if the file size is somewhere between the application limit and the server limit (I think 10MB). I don't know what you are using in the backend, but surely you can send back the error before actually reading all the bytes. |

As I said in this posts:   If I want to reach the bottom of my list, I'll have to load everything while scrolling down. In the old format, I just need to press End and Home to navigate through the list. If I want to reach some part of my list, like letter P, I'll have to load it while scrolling down. In the old format, I just need to use CTRL+F, search for some anime name near the area that I want to see (for example, Pokemon), and yay, I'm there. And using CTRL+F I won't see just "Pokemon", but everything that I want to see. Using the search function... I'll see just Pokemon. Well, I'm giving the possible best idea that will please EVERYBODY. Giving us the possibility to choose if we want partial loading or not, my preference won't disturb your preference, so being against it is illogical. My full loading won't get in the way of your low connectivity, and your partial load won't get in the way of my CTRL+F. |

ItsMaz said: It looks alright, but - An option to scale it down a little would be nice. Everything seems massively magnified currently That's my problem as well. With the old design it's easy to see all at once (or at least a big part). The new design makes you scroll, scroll, scroll, and scroll some more. I might be in the minority, but I prefer things small and clean over big designs. Edit: Tried it without pictures & header now, and it's much better. But - it doesn't really feel like an improvement over the old design. |
| I think @j0x didn't understand my idea. My idea isn't that the Devs disable partial loading because we don't like it, but to give us an option in the settings so that each person can choose if they want or not partial loading. This way you can have partial loading while I can have full loading if we want. Everybody happy. |

Limiting amount of data makes no sense. Not to mention the lists are mostly text, so loading them isn't really hard. |
| The images that are being loaded are larger than the actual size displayed. So there is a lot of waste when you are loading thousands of them. On top of that it doesn't seem that they are being cached. Or at least they are being retrieved again when I reload. I'm not sure that showing images by default is very useful anyway. It slows down page load a lot. It takes only 1.5-2 seconds to load without images, and then images take another 20 seconds for me. When I look at someone else's list I am not interested at looking at pritty pictures that I can't distinguish at 70px height, I just want to skim through the text. It doesn't work too well when I can only see a dozen entries at a time. |
