In case Xinil still follows this thread: I think it would be a good idea to change the progress bar for titles with unknown length - for example, make it light green or something. Right now it looks a bit confusing.

The header is usually at 1500px btw, it looks so stupid to cut it off for 500px...

I still don't like that much the favourite, there's too much to go down to reach comments, and it's annoying to hit the arrow to show every favourites, (and no, I don't f*** want to clic on "comments" on the left side, I'm not kidding). Also, I think it's because of that, that the new look looks too dense -> messy.

After that, I'll keep saying that the new graphics stats doesn't give as much informations as the old one at first sight.
Anyway, can't wait sunnysummerday to finish to modify the css so we will get rid off those awful bluefacebook buttons.

As far as the "looks" go I kinda got used to it already to be honest. Although we're basically forced to add a facebook style cover photo into the about me section so it doesn't look like complete ass.

Would still very much prefer anime and manga stats to be separated from another vertically and not horizontally as seen here:

Reposting my "idea" made on paint and still better

It's just so much more asthetically pleasing.


I'm still very mad about some of the functionality changes though. First and foremost:

- Complete removal of the progress bar for completed series and time spent. If bringing back the bars for days and completed series is out of the question, you should get rid of the bars altogether and thus remove the bar we have right now. Because that one is a pointless piece of shit that serves no purpose at all.

- Removal of the edit button from the "recent updates" panel (I don't even understand why this was done in the first place).

If both would be changed I guess I could live with this.

Also, the option to edit anime directly from the profile is gone ?
Because we are now supposed to go to the panel if we want to edit something quickly ?

Highly inconvenient.

And the fact that favorites are cut halfway trough as if the second half were less important ? I feel like if you have to reduce the size of favorites and About Me, it clearly means they are misplaced. Not to mention the anime/manga stats bar look the same for for both people who've watched/read 10 thing AND people who've watched/read 1,000 things, which was not at all the same before ???

Highly inconvenient.


I don't like "modern" looks and I see no improvement in this "update." If you ask me, it reduces the efficiency of the site.
I'll be waiting for someone skillful enough to make a code that would allow us to continue seeing MAL profiles the way they were before.
Please make it happen.

Yes, this is exactly what I don't like in this new style, both points. (Especially the last one, this bar makes now 0 sense).

Yeah, I should finally take the time to learn CSS. It's been on my to-do for awhile. In the meantime, I'm just going to move my About Me to a blog, and link the blog to the body picture. I'm completely satisfied with how my profile looks now.

This is actually a great idea. I ended up removing my 'about me' text from the old profile, because the text kind of ruined the overall feel of the new layout, as well as spoiler buttons to hide it and the drop down arrow also looked out of place. So I just left the image. But your idea definitely works for those who feel the same but want to keep the info text.

By the way for those who want to know, the trick is to leave/cut out exactly 17 pixels between the profile image and about me image for a flawless/smooth transition.

xD so they messed up the profile to "encourage" some people to get out of their profile?
sadly, as much as it is a funny view, the ones who are going to avoid the profile are the ones who didn't pass most of their time getting their about me "more pretty", so their evil update plans may have backfired

Desired format:
1. Stats
2. About Me
3. Comments

IMO:
- Stats take up space: minimize spacing would appear more compact
- Redundant "Edit Profile" on right corner; same option is under "My Page" already
- Way too much white everywhere
- Replace text with intuitive icons

redundancy is not a bad thing, so far it doesn't steal space to other things

Imo, it's unnecessary to take up more space for a function that already exists. Besides, adding it to the right corner isn't more convenient.

You guys still talking about this I already got used with the new layout (of my google docs).
-----------------
Jokes aside, I miss my "Anime List | Manga List" links at the top of the page, where they put the new "Edit Profile" link.
I always click there to go to my lists and end up in the profile editing page now e_e And yeah, not having the edit button in the last updates is shit.

Already removed all my favorites. That section is too big, and it's ridiculous how I have a blank column just because I don't have any ~Favorite People~ to put there. If you want the favs area in the middle, at least organize them horizontally, and with smaller images. And if someone doesn't have a "Favorite Something", don't force the "Something's Column" to appear blankly in the page. Give us an option to disable the column that we don't want to show, because I feel forced to put "Favorite People" just to make that blank column go away. But in the end I decided to remove all the other favs...

Which is sad MAL is a great site but if the admins make changes and act like deal with it, it tells you alot on why the new profiles where made in the first place.

I really like how the profile is now more geared towards the visual aspect more than before. I enjoy it. I'll report any problems I find. Also, I think it would be a good idea to allow people to customize where different parts of their profiles appear on their page. For example, adding the favorites of characters first in the list of favorites. I also think it would be a good idea to allow people to choose between the new layout and the old one if they don't like the changes. Lastly, I noticed that the images on the the favorites and the anime and manga list on the profile are not clean in how they are shown... (too minimized and sharp with pixels?). Thanks for your effort, MAL team.

more like quite a bit of tweaks >.>
(currently have: 2 scripts, 1 stylesheet, 8 adblock filters, to make it acceptable, and the favorites are still blocked until they get out of their misery... )

here is the current result, it still sucks but at least it's a little better than the "Original Version" for me...

Well...I've just watched one episode and decided to update the list and BAM, new design out of nowhere.

Anyway, the only thing which bugs me is the fact there isn't an option to move ''the Statistics'' to the top and the ''About Me'' to the middle of the page but I can't change it and I really want to know why there isn't an option to change it?

I had to disable comments on my profile and delete everything on the ''About Me'' part just to be able to see the last updates on both of my lists, something ridiculous for MAL because it should be about anime and not a copy of the Facebook layout, you should make the anime part priority not the social one and once again this isn't Facebook.

not really impressed, that's basically a banner, they could have added a new optional space called "profile banners" and have the same effect while not forcing people to scroll down (a lot in some cases), or use dubious buttons to jump down the page, to get to the anime/manga stats :/

plus, not everyone have huge screens to just be able to gloss over those banners, i can't see from the top past the "forum posts" line

So about the About Me should be restricted / cut off by the arrow at the height of the images in the good profiles you posted. Those are at a good size
Or we could just have the original where you could see the Statistics right away AND people could have their long About Me underneath.

Not a bad idea. I wonder if that would work.

don't question it
no scrolling at all = best result

would sacrifice any sort of "cool profile pictures" if the result was having what i'm looking for right from the start with no need to scroll at all

I like the new stats design. I don't like the rest, though. I also wish the Stats were up top (I already have to scroll to find the tiny statistics button, which does nothing except scroll ~400px down for me). I miss the old layout. It's been over 6 years of mostly the same design, so it'll take a while to get used to the new one. :(
