So many 'facebook' comments... This color is not the same facebook uses.
It's the same in the menu and logo.
That's the color facebook uses and that's the color MAL uses for many many years so it's not new.


Just happened to be similar.

What the heck is that abomination on the top right corner, do you even have any idea how bad it looks in general and especially for me since I have a long username? The internet has enough of one fb, tyvm. I'm even alright with the blueness on the bottom, but why make a separate button thingy for profile and logging out??? I think those two being where they were(and worked) before was pretty comfortable.
I don't even want to imagine what changes are planned since those two buttons now have to be removed from the left side.

It's so funny when a website changes, I see it everywhere. Kongregate, Tumblr, everyone says "OH NO THEY'RE TRYING TO TURN INTO FACEBOOK!!!1"

I agree the button at the top is pointless right now (but it's not like it looks bad), but I assume this is part of something bigger that is going to happen soon. Also, the blue bar at the bottom is very nice looking.

why did they even take that out? Did i miss anything? Was that clickable profile causing any trouble? Because honestly i don't get why they changed it...
Apparently mobile viewers were having problems accessing the dropdown menus, so it was to accommodate them.


What's the point in creating a super incredible mobile version if they'll change de web version so that mobile users can use the web version in their cellphones?

I don't know why you guys don't like these changes.
Footer looks pretty nice atm.
The previous one was literally two lines with some links and the copyright. (old footer)
As for the top right profile area I don't care much, you can still find Profile & Logout at the menu...


Footers weren't made to receive all this attention. They don't need to be big and blue. 2 lines is simple enouth.
Their purpose is just to show some links that you'll never click. I just don't understand all this "modern and minimalistic" design that everyone is using...

Fansubs are considered "illegal" by copyright-fags and MAL doesn't want problems, it's just that simple & sad.

I'm guessing the footer is so large so the last post can be in the middle of the page.

I don't mind the color, it is nice and not the same one as the drab facebook color.

Sigh, I miss MAL from 7 years ago, it looked neat and couldn't be much easier to navigate. If you really have to find some pointless jobs for guys in IT just make them change picture borders or shape of "0" or something harmless like that.

I use a website style editor that lets me personalize the way websites look. My MAL is black and purple, but the thing is, with the new profile feature next to the anime search, I can't click the drop down menu anymore to search for manga. I have to go underneath the Manga panel and click manga search.

First of all, why did MAL get rid of the previous profile button, which worked perfectly fine, just to add a new one? The old one was perfectly fine, then they make it so that we have to hover over the Profile button then click profile again, and now they create a profile option next to the anime search.. Interesting..

They should just keep it plain and simple, new changes aren't exactly required. If it makes the site better, sure, why not, but minor edits like these can be a major hindrance in using the website.

It's because it makes it easier for people to use the mobile site. If you ever went on it, you wouldn't always be able to get the drop down, in case you wanted to check messages or something, or go to the main forum page, etc. But yeah, I find it kind of annoying to go an extra step just for mobile users, but that's only because I don't use a mouse. I personally didn't have a problem with the drop down thing anyways when I used the mobile site.

GOD THIS IS ANNOYING.
I spend four bloody hours learning how to fix my style because of the damn width change last month and when I finally had everything working fine again... this shit happens.
Fuck it. I can't take it anymore.
I'll just set everything pink with yellow stripes and dots, adblock the shit out of it and call it a day.

I like the new changes, except for the blue at the bottom. Why not just leave it white with black text and icons? The blue seems really excessive.

Well if you have the userscript it's three but I believe without it there's only two right? The drop down one will probably stay for the mobile users and because some people are just used to it.

No, with userscript it's actually four
Third is that profile picture and fourth one in the drop-down menu next to it

Actually then wouldn't that be five (with the userscript)...? If you count the one where you can go to your profile on the panel page. But I'm guessing you guys meant the number of ways you can get to your profile from any page on MAL so actually nvm.

I'm liking the new thing at the top right, And the Blue at the bottom isn't so bad. Though yeah I am curious about other changes that might happen, hopefully I'm content with the changes.
