This topic on fixing your covers part of our Customizing your list section and Tools and Tips section. Fix for Fall 2015 Fellow Writer users may have noticed that covers don't load or the layout loads slowly. Fellow Writer still works! To fix the problem, simply add an "s" after the http before Dropbox in your Fellow Writer code (remember there are two instances of http, add the s to the second one). Example of a fixed anime list Fellow Writer import: @import url("https://mal-fellow-writer.appspot.com/anime/Shishio-kun/?covers=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/formats/covers/more"); Example of a fixed manga list Fellow Writer import: @import url("https://mal-fellow-writer.appspot.com/manga/Shishio-kun/?covers=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/formats/covers/more"); Of course, use your username in place of mine. Change http to https in any other imports that use Dropbox to fix similar loading problems. Thanks to Kiokuzoku for this tip! Fellow Writer What is this? Fellow Writer is an online-based css generator. It is used by importing the following:Depending on what you want to generate, you'll have to change the action and the parameters accordingly. What can I generate? 1) CSS unique for myself This is used by specifying a type (anime or manga and your username: The parameters are a list of GET parameters. This is written as follows: param1=value¶m2=value¶m3=value The order of the parameters doesn't matter. You can choose the ones you want amongst the followings:Covers Parameter name: covers Value: url Where url is a link to a file containing a format. This format must include the special values &id and &img. The classical more selector format is the following: #more&id{background-image:url(&img);} I provide this file at the following address: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/formats/covers/moreWhich means everybody can use the following to generate his covers with the more selector: @import url(http://mal-fellow-writer.appspot.com/type/username/?covers=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/formats/covers/more); 2) Random css This is used by specifying random as the action and a files parameter. The file is a link to a file containing a list of links to css files, one on each line. This can thus be used like this: Don't forget to replace url by the actual url of the file. |

| There is more coming. |
| Early June updates? Interesting. You released this at the two year anniversary of when you released the other generator! Was that on purpose? http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=436031 That was original program was the biggest changing factor on MAL lists I think, in its history. Only a few ppl (literally a few) had covers before that. |
im not exactly sure what this is, but it works! Thanks. This is what i got..so using @import url(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/formats/covers/more" target="_blank">http://mal-fellow-writer.appspot.com/type/username/?covers=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/formats/covers/more); |
| Nvm its still working |

| U5 said he was going to make a change soon around this time, so I guess this is it. |
| I test it and its working fast..Thanks for this. Btw..is this auto update? |
 |
| Awesome, the system of updating covers manually with the individual more selector was no longer working for me so this is precisely what I needed! Perfect, thanks a lot. |
| “We see what we want to see” |
| Thanks for this, it works like a charm! Though I do wonder what happened to the June update :P |

| Change the word type by anime or manga, and also change the word username by your own username. This is my anime generated list: http://mal-fellow-writer.appspot.com/anime/al_exs/?covers=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/formats/covers/more |

| The Incapsula is to blame here. My own (new, online) application got banned too. Precisely, this happens because instead of XML malappinfo.php gives you Incapsula HTML, which crashes the parser. |

Trying to just load the template results in a 509 error from Dropbox: Hosting your own template file should fix the issue. At least it fixed the issue for me. Steps: 1. Open notepad 2. Input #more&id{background-image:url(&img);}3. Save file in your dropbox 4. Copy the public URL for the file 5. Add the url to the file at the end of http://mal-fellow-writer.appspot.com/type/username/?covers= 6. Don't forget to change type and username |

| I was using Fellow Writer for anime covers in my list and it was working really well. After the hacker attack the dropbox crashed so it didn't work and I knew that, but right now dropbox links are up and working, but covers still don't show up in my list. I already change "type" with "anime" and "username" with mine. I also tried to upload a css of mine on dropbox to put after "covers=" (as suggested in the post before me). Right now I switched to a self-created CSS with Blink, but not having to keep it updated and such was very useful. Is it a problem only for me or for everyone? (Sorry for my poor english) |
Blazeflack said: Mine works fine, using fellow writer with a self-hosted template. Actually I see no covers in your anime list. It also doesn't work for a friend of mine, so I'm starting to think it's a problem of the app. |

It also doesn't work for a friend of mine, so I'm starting to think it's a problem of the app. I don't see them either, it looks like the same error from before. I think this error started with the dropbox crashing and hacking attacks (mid last week)? (Damn we really got blindsided lol) speculation: So whatever caused the error might be connected to that and is still happening...? |
| this is not working anymore..any update please. |
| |
| It has been out if commission for quite some time now, but I have not seen U5, the creator around in almost as long a time. I woukd suggest using another cover generator. |
|
| It works perfectly to me. Thanks a lot! :D |
 |
| thanks so much, this is awesome!!! |
| T_____T idk y its not working all of a sudden!! |
| it stoped working Q_Q |
| U5's dropbox seems too be down. |
|
Oiomi-chan said: U5's dropbox seems too be down. yup |
   |
| Yes that's the reason. And yes it will go back to normal eventually, but if you want more stability I would recommend using a premade cover file, for example the one made by shishio, you can also make your own. You can check these options out in the forum index topic. |
|
| Does Fellow Writer works now again or still sometimes broke? |
| [size=0] |
| not entirely sure how it works but i finally got my covers back on lists which disappeared since other generator stopped working it was bothering me for a long period of time and i even quit MAL for some time so thanks a lot for this release seems a lot easier and now no covers missing so far so thanks again. |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| So what is the fix now? I'm missing some covers on my list and i'm using this one: @import url(https://googledrive.com/host/0BxjwQr0BBXs-MVlzYkRVc0k0Q0k); And it seems this fix isnt working either anymore.. So what can i use now? |
| This doesn't seem to work anymore... |
 |
| Thanks, mate. A real help, that is. |
|
| To fix the Fellow Writer issue, simply add an "s" after the second http in your Fellow Writer link. For example: @import url("http://mal-fellow-writer.appspot.com/anime/Shishio-kun/?covers=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/formats/covers/more"); Thanks to Kiokuzoku for this tip! |
EDIT: I figured it out. It turns out you shouldn't save it as "Unicode". Just saved it as "UTF-8" or "ANSI", and it started working again. |

kazurengan said: Covers stopped working for me, dropbox link isn't working anyone has a fix for this please? The solution for your answer is 2 posts above. |
| It's u5 dropbox is temporary blocked due to excess bandwidth generated. Works okay if I reupload the file, e.g. changing to |

kazurengan said: inside the link i see this #more&id{background-image:url(&img);} wasn't there supposed to be the covers CSS or something? Read first post. |
