Forum Index Redesign
The forum index has been given a bit of a facelift, along with some new functionality. You can check it out here.

The design has been changed so you can preview two threads per board, to get a better overview of the topics being discussed in each. A right-side panel has been added, which shows the most popular (recent) threads and a selection of recent posts in all boards, the anime series boards, and the manga series boards. The forum moderators are also listed at the end of the page, and their online status will be indicated (depending on the opacity of the forum avatar).

We hope that you'll find the new index both visually appealing and a better overview of what's happening on the forum.

Forum Quotes/Mentions
You will also now be notified when a user quotes/mentions you on the forum only. This has been a long requested feature, especially with all our recent forum changes, so we hope you'll enjoy it!

This is a quote.

Mention:
@Kineta This is a mention (the @ symbol is required).

In this phase of the notifications system, you are unable to disable notifications. This is being worked on though, so those who do not wish to notified will be able to toggle this off in the future.

Private Message Limits
And for those who have yet to notice, the limits on your inbox and sentbox have been raised to 1000! We're hoping to improve the message system in overall in the future, but for now, we hope this will ease a lot of the frustration users have been having with it.

Hopefully you'll agree that this is a great way to kick off our site development in 2016!

If you're going to re-design this site, please provide an option that allows us to switch back to things if we need to. Forcing this upon users who aren't comfortable with this is not at all commendable on the administration end. In fact, it's just short of what I like to call tyranny.

Know thy users.

Seriously need to do this. The new design blows. I saw 'forum settings' in the corner and felt relieved, but that didn't help. Why was this even done?

Is this going to be just like the thread about the new profile re-design, The new layout kind of made me dizzy from just seeing it.
Hope you add a feature where users are able to change it back to the previous design!

Was the forum moderators part really necessary though

Thanks so much for the new updates. They're looking pretty good, but I gotta get used to the new design of the forums page.

*sigh* Just get used to it. They obviously worked hard in making this site better. I am also going to stop complaining about other certain changes since they don't even respond, most of the time, and seems like a waste of time. Just suck it up. They will never have that option.

Honestly its really ugly and cluttered with the index. Its one of the worst design I have ever seen on a website.. I see no new functionality only several pages worth of stuff crammed into the space of one.

The quote notification is nice but Im not sure how well it is working yet. I have been only notified once so far but maybe this was only tuned on fairly recently today not earlier in the day.

However, this site does not need to resemble Facebook. Remember that. This is an anime-listing site, not a social network.

New design looks good but a bit messy. The new feature is really neat, I hated checking on a few threads over and over again just in case someone quoted me or replied to me, so that will definitely make things easier. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, I figured that out once I posted that. Still, an additional reply link will be more apparent for users who are not aware of this "mention" feature.

The problem is it links you directly on the same tab upon clicking instead of opening a new one. Oh well, could be fixed easily.

We're one step away from infinite scrolling at this rate. If we don't get an option for forum layout in the near future, then I don't know what to say. My other community allows a switching of forum layout if applicable. And if that one does, then why can't MAL? I'm really baffled by this.

^Exactly...

Once again, you have re designed a part of the site without asking for feedback, aka "something that is essential for maintaining a good relationship with the site's users" (oh yes, Comic_Shitposter also knows how to use big words!). I've seen people asking over and over again asking for a "Switch back" option and a thread where you provide us a picture of what the new update might look like in the future and ask "what do you think about this update, do you want this or not, etc?".

Instead, you've been forcing these updates on us without asking for our opinions first and then, whenever someone or a lot of people complained, replied "look you whiny ungrateful pieces of shit, we got the power and we're not going to update back, so deal with it!" (Not literally, obviously).

We waited THREE months without hearing anything from the team before we got the new review sorting option as a replacement for the "Not helpful" button (which isn't working, by the way, and the review section is worse than before), you chose to dismiss pages and pages of negative feedback when the new profile update came, you added an X characters minimum rule and have so far completely been ignoring the fact that it didn't help at all and that the spam actually has been INCREASING, and now I am most likely going to be ignored because "OMG SO WHINY"

The users should also try to maintain a good relationship with the staff, but the same goes for the staff.

This is NOT trying to maintain a good relationship with the users.

And so, I say "Start listening to your users' negative feedback, give us a "Switch back" option and rant over"

With that being said, I like the new quoting/mentioning system and inbox update.

Or you just use the middle mouse click. The point was to make it as easy to use as possible. Holding a CTRL button is still an extra effort compared to say, only clicking on it.

Testing whether the new feature spam users repeatedly:

It makes no sense to attempt the name mentio thing when you also quoted me lol That wont let us know how it works out.

Not everyone would want a new page opened though. Besides the notification does not actually update live I think., unless they changed it It only shows up on page reload. So having it open on new page wont be much use.

Very nice update. No complain this time. The design change is not so bad, just need time to get used to it I guess. Good job this time.

OT: Don't care about the changes they made except the notification on quotes update which is a good thing I guess.

@Kagami_Hiiragi The design scared me away... What's it like?


Its a forum where you'll see it all! Its full of anime fans in which 95% of them have waaaaay under 300 completions, the website itself is extremely outdated and most of the banners have been there since 08, the new admin is delusional af and she really believes the site is active, the veteran admins are all lazy and make empty promises they don't keep, they moderated FIVE newbies who joined in 2015 and they all can't do anything, its ugly af, the new admin is a tyrant.

I'm a mod there, but all the staff despise me and I shitpost there. Like, my personality there is 100% different.

It makes no sense to attempt the name mentio thing when you also quoted me lol That wont let us know how it works out.


I take that it works as it should? Unless of course you were flooded with user mentions by my post.

Not everyone would want a new page opened though. Besides the notification does not actually update live I think., unless they changed it It only shows up on page reload. So having it open on new page wont be much use.


Preferences I suppose. As you might have guessed, I prefer each thread to be opened on each tab separately instead of one. More productive and less loading time as I filter through each notification. Maybe we could make a poll out of this.

And yes, an active notification system seems to be the next step after this.

Ouch... Sounds terrible indeed

But I'd still like if @Kineta & c:o could try listening to the community more, because communication really has been pretty poor the last six months
