"Edit" button gone from my anime list; "Discuss this episode" pop-up not working, either.

or is it a MAL-wide problem

Kyuutoryuu said:
that will be looked at?

My list still has the edit button there, so it may be a wide spread issue but it's not everybody either.

Serhiyko said:

Hm, you made me look into it. Yes indeed, when you click on "edit" button the pop-up appears below, so you have to scroll down to it. And the pop-up window is way longer than it should be (with a lot of white space below)

Kyuutoryuu said:
I just noticed this problem today (also happens to be the same day that MAL forced me to relog due to being unable to store the cache; might be connected?). Basically, I can no longer "edit" my anime/manga info from either list via the button on each bar. If I want to change any information, I have to go to the anime's page itself and edit the information there.

Also, the pop-up that asks me to "discuss an episode" no longer comes up properly. There's still a window that has an "x" on it, so I can tell the pop-up feature is still working, it's just very glitched. Am I the only ones experiencing these two glitches, or is it a MAL-wide problem that will be looked at?

On the other thing (white pop up box), this is a temporary fix I've wrote for ppl with custom CSS who want to make the pop up box reappear. Its the box that appears when you click the "edit" button on your list next to the more button. I tested it on several layout types and in both browsers.

#fancybox-inner {
height: 100% !important;
width: 100% !important;
left: 0 !important;
}
#fancybox-wrap {
height: 90% !important;
position: fixed !important;
width: 80% !important;
left: 0 !important;
right: 0 !important;
top: 0 !Important;
margin: auto !important;
}

The discussion pop-up doesn't work for me either -_-

Shishio-kun said:



I don't see your edit/add buttons either. But in your code if I take away these:

.td1:nth-of-type(2) small, .td2:nth-of-type(2) small {
visibility: hidden;
}

.animetitle + small{
visibility: visible !important;
}

#list_surround small a:last-of-type {
display: none;
}

#list_surround a[href*="http://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=edit"],
#list_surround a[href*="http://myanimelist.net/editlist.php?type="],
#list_surround a[href*="http://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=add"] {
visibility: visible !important;
margin-right: -40px;
margin-top: 0.5px;
position: absolute;
}


If I take those away in Firefox I can see the edit and more buttons on row hover again. These are all at the bottom of your code. So that might be a temporary fix for you to try out so you can edit from your list again. Hope that works!

Save your old code etc, everything might be normal again later

I never seen such a weird issue as these recent "styling bugs", seems to affect ppl randomly and whether or not I can see it is random. Might not even see the same problem as you

TOPIX21 said:


I'm also getting a similar issue, would I also have to take a portion of my CSS code so that it works correctly on my list? Although it isn't a issue of my "Edit" button disappearing, it's just that the pop-up window doesn't load correctly at all on my list.

Shishio-kun said:


No, MAL already changed/took something away that affected the overlay, so something must be added to set it back. A couple posts down from the one you quoted I post a custom CSS solution for the overlay, try this:

#fancybox-inner {
height: 100% !important;
width: 100% !important;
left: 0 !important;
}
#fancybox-wrap {
height: 90% !important;
position: fixed !important;
width: 80% !important;
left: 0 !important;
right: 0 !important;
top: 0 !Important;
margin: auto !important;
}


Its also posted in front page of my group (its where your layout comes from, I made the original) I usually post fixes there: http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=19736

Kyuutoryuu said:
Hey Shioshio, just wanted to say that both of your fixes work: I can now see the "edit" button, and it correctly brings up the right overlay. For the #fancybox-inner { code you gave me, however, the overlay does appear for the "Discuss this episode!", but it comes with a huge slate of blank white space. Any way to fix this?

I don't have a custom CSS list style, but am having the same issue. Is there any way to fix it?

Shishio-kun said:


Shio shio!

Someone asked me earlier about this; I never use my list to discuss episodes so I don't know much about that. And I can't seem to access that same part of the list. Like when I have an anime set to "Discuss this episode when I up my count!" or w/e, then up the count, I still don't see that same window with the same buttons you see in http://i.imgur.com/iI2SPb2.png. So I can't inspect and experiment the window and try to come up with a solution.

I guess until someone else does or MAL fixes it back you have to live with it. You can just click outside the box to remove it, right?

Shishio-kun said:
here's something new to try- U531355 wrote an improvement to the code I've posted earlier that fixes the pop-up overlay! Try this instead, it will look better overall, and might also improve the look with the Discuss this episode panel


#fancybox-wrap {
position: fixed !important;
top: 5% !important;
bottom: 5%;
left: 0px !important;
right: 0px !important;
width: 1100px !important;
height: auto !important;
margin: auto !important;
}

#fancybox-inner {
bottom: 10px;
width: 1080px !important;
height: auto !important;
}

Make sure you delete the old one if you're using it. I have also sent this code en masse to anyone using my imports, but you still should delete the old one (contradictory codes). If you got a pink pony on your list on April Fools, then this change should be sent to your list since you're using one of my imports (thats how I pranked so many ppl)

Kyuutoryuu said:


I tried replacing the old code with the new one, but the "Discuss this episode" pop-up was not fixed. Should the #fancybox-inner be on top of the #fancybox-wrap? Because on the code you posted on page 1, the two "fancy's" were in a different order.

greebo said:
Nothing happens apart the screen goes a little darker and I can't access anything else on that page! Wonderful.

Shishio-kun said:
I would think they will eventually add necessary changes to the default site, so everyone will have the overlay back. Its a basic feature everyone uses. MAL shouldn't let such a basic function stay broken. But then again.. IMG, YT, login, Incapsula...

Serhiyko said:

Don't forget tags, avatar/profile pictures lags, ignoring boards, counter for new messages (that was "fixed" with question mark), removed recs/review favourites, "private" lists that can be easily viewed by anyone, wrong post counter... And I could probably continue

Shishio-kun said:
I forgot about tags, they have completely become "notes" to me since their original purpose is long broken (2-3 years I think)

Serhiyko said:

Erm, you do know about this userscript? (via)
But the fact that we can repair it with userscript doesn't justify it staying broken, of course

Shishio-kun said:
Oh yeah, thats a nice script. I mighta used it and normal tags if it wasn't something every person who visits my list had to install.

AndyRayy said:
I was having the exact same problem until I made a few slight changes to Shishio-kun's CSS.

I don't claim to be at all adept an expert at this, but this little tweak helped me both fix the original problem of the edit box being off as well as the "discuss episode" problem you mentioned here. I'll just leave it here on the off chance it can help someone else.

Crappy code "Fix" in the spoiler:
EDIT: Kyuutoryuu, I just tested and can confirm that my "fix" works for your list.

Shishio-kun said:
Wow this is a great improvement (awesome work dude!) if it fixes this panel with these buttons:
http://sleekupload.com/uploads/5/table_7.png

This is what you're talking about right? I can never get this panel...

The only thing is this version won't center on some lists, cuz margin was taken out. Will it still adjust the Discuss anime panel if it is written this way, this will center it back:
Edit: Actually, if someone could test it with this import instead that'd be great, MAL won't allow margin in our CSS edit box in this case SMH...

@import "https://googledrive.com/host/0BxjwQr0BBXs-d3FsNkY4amVQU0U";

Kurisu666 said:
I, too, have to scroll down to the pop-ups on my list... It's not a terribly bad this, but it IS annoying!

Serhiyko said:
Of course you can whine about how those features are broken (and rightly so!) and wait until they are fixed (maybe in few days, maybe years, maybe never), OR you can fix them right now. Switching to another site is an option too (at least MAL's export still works). Your choice!

Kurisu666 said:
I'm not gonna switch to another site (how absurd a suggestion is that?)

Kurisu666 said:
As much as I appreciate your concern

Kurisu666 said:
Have you, perhaps, considered you might be overreacting here a little bit?

kuuderes_shadow said:
Don't worry. Serhiyko's been leaping at every opportunity to tell people to use other sites instead of MAL for quite some time now.

Unfortunately I don't understand coding and what have you so a simple fix for us non-techy folks would be gratefully appreciated. :-)

Arigato gozaimasu!!!!!!! I was having the same problems and so I found this forum and now it works again all thanks to you! :D

Kineta said:
Will this be fixed?
Yes, this will be fixed. I've seen a few posts about how broken things stay broken for a long time. While I won't deny we have broken things (I do know our bug list the best), this is not the kind of thing that is going to stay broken.

AndyRayy said:
Yes, that's what I was referring to. It changes the "Discuss episode?" dialogue from THIS to THIS.

I just tried out your update (the drive import) and it still works like a charm. So right now, the code is:

Please note the change in min-width. It's necessary so that smaller fancy boxes for On Hold -> Watching and PTW -> Watching don't end up being off center and looking weird.

I've never has such a hard time trying to fix a quote tower before...

EDIT: Unfortunately, changing the height to 100% does indeed cause the problem to return.

Looks like those of us who happen to be 'relatively positioned'-ers have gotten ourselves a lucky break while our absolute counterparts are still left in wait.

Kyuutoryuu said:
Andy, thanks for various coding contributions you've made in this thread. I really appreciate it, as I'm sure other users do as well.

Sorry for the late reply, btw.

When I replaced the old code with yours, the "Discuss this episode!" box did indeed lose all of its "useless space". However, your code also caused this to happen. As you can see, the edit box now has a scroller, which means it cannot open to its full size automatically. Normally, my edit box would be maximized upon opening, and I can see everything at the same time.

Is there a way to perfectly size the edit box and the Discuss box simultaneously? (Although there might be a way, I'm assuming it would be too difficult, as sizing one box seems to affect the other box.)

Also, how can you tell whether your list style is relative or absolute?
