Woo hoo! My profile picture finally updated.

I made a few more adjustments.



The only thing that kind of irks me is the gap between my About Me text and Statistics. Is there any way to reduce that?

Woah. You're good. How would I apply that to my profile? I'm new to this, but I'm not new to coding. If you point me in the right direction, I could probably figure out the rest.

Looks fine on my 27" 1440p monitor and looks nothing like the early 2000's. If it did, statistics and favorites would be on the right side on its own column, causing the page to take up the entire screen which is how designs in that era were.


This is too much dead space. On the forums it is fine, but on the profile pages it is just ugly. I checked to see if ads were meant to be there, but nope.

Didn't you know that 40-50% of a website being dead space is "modern" these days?

I'm having some issues with profile picture blurriness, I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask about this, but I will anyway.


This is my profile picture, and it's a bit blurry. It's not terribly blurry but compared to the actual picture image if you drag my profile picture into a seperate tab,
it is quite blurry. Is anyone else having this problem? This was not a problem for me in the old layout

Unfortunately that's not gonna help you much if you don't know CSS, I was only pointing to the rule for why the space exists. If you wanna permanently remove it, you're gonna have to get a page style for it. I heard people are already working on custom styles to try to sort out this new mess. Sorry, I'm not that great at teaching these things lol.

Yeah, but there wasn't really anything outdated about the previous look. Was perfectly modern for a page that is dedicated to anime lists.

there is also Cpt_Mathix making scripts to rearrange parts of the profile, you can find a list here
or directly to his script page:

Thanks m8. Now with the combination of Tsiox's Stylish Theme, RedUb's Stylish script to remove the Statistics and Favorites headers, and 3 of Cpt_Mathix's userscripts, I finally have a profile that I can look at without wanting to commit seppuku.

Have we figured out a way to restore the listview e-penis stats, or are we still e-masculated?

no idea, of the scripts i've seen there was nothing about that

I was being sarcastic since filling the page completely with useful information and good design is how it should be, in my opinion. A lot of websites manage to do that.
And yep, the previous look wasn't outdated at all.

I should note that user scripts are surprisingly simple to make and the change in question is a simple one. You could learn CSS in a week or less if you wanted to, it really comes in handy whenever you want to make personalized changes to a site. Kinda gives you a new perspective of the web.

it would be good if the staff did that, but in the while they aren't doing that, there are some ways to get some of the old profile back, or at least make it look a tiny bit better, using scripts, style editors, and adblocks

i've made a list of scripts and edits some users made, if you want to try:
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1439200&show=100#msg42672597
(if you already saw that thread, i agree the staff should still be pushed to improve and fix things more)

there is not a favorites solution for now, just removing them

Did I hurt your feelings? Anyone that cries and demands that MAL change it back because the new design sucks, are in fact babies. If they can't post [b]constructive feedback[/b] on why it sucks, then they should either suck it up or leave. Making stupid one liners and complaining is a huge problem on this site and is why I barely frequent the forums anymore. Good to see nothing has changed.

I've already made two posts on here with my feedback on the new design. If everyone did that we wouldn't have 39 pages that admins have to sift through just to get legit feedback.

Wow , you must've read at least, like, 5 comments or something.

This topic is CHOCK FULL with CONSTRUCTIVE feedback about what is bad and how it could be changed. Alas, it's all pointless because it's gonna stay the way it is now. So you don't need to worry about any admins, because no one is going to sift through anything, let alone address or even change stuff.

What the hell?
Only people who dislike the changes have to provide arguments? They aren't allowed to simply voice their discontent? But those who like it get a free pass? Because what, precisely?
There's no difference between "it sucks" and "it looks good". Both are equally valid. They aren't saying much but they do express the opinion of said person. However you're telling people who have been here for long years to leave the site just because they didn't want to write an essay?
You're an insane hypocrite and propagator of censorship.

I and countless other people made multiple post each about what is bad about the new update. Very few people were capable of providing arguments why they like it. And even if they do provide the arguments, they are unable to reply when someone counters those.

Yes. When you start your post with completely unfounded namecalling, you shouldn't expect to be treated seriously. You deserve being treated the same as you treat others. You should feel happy that people replied to you seriously because you don't deserve anything more than namecalling you yourself started. You can't bring yourself down to others' level because you put yourself way below everyone else with your very first line.

Really, there's very little difference between calling someone a baby and calling that person a fucking moron. Latter would just get you deleted fast but the underlying message is still the same.
The important part is, you're using ad hominem, trying to belittle others because you're unable to win in normal discussion. And it's showing as you can only comment on attitude of others instead of contents of their posts, the points of their messages.

The more I use it, the more I like it.

Looks actually quite pretty, modern, and pleases the eye. There is more info available right away, without the need for malgraph or checking the list (such as meanscore or scores for last updates).

About me being on top is something I disliked at first, but it was just me being used to the old layout, now there are some nice possibilites like combining about me with profile picture, without any real disadvantage.

The drop down arrow for bigger 'about me's is also a HUGE plus, too many users just went way overboard with their profiles being so big you have scroll it forever, it's nice that it discourages people from making something so long that only brought annoyance, because no one ever cares for that much useless info. Keep it short and classy.

The only thing I dislike is that only half of the faovurites show, there is no point in letting us have more if they are hidden. I hope it's gonna be changed.

What I would do:
  • Modify the height limit of the About Me section so that other content remains above the fold, at least on high resolutions. This would alleviate the concerns, to some extent.
  • Choose softer colors to represent list statuses in the Statistics section.
  • Remove progress bars and extra colors from the Last Updates sections. They're currently the biggest offenders in terms of clutter, and I find the page having three different kinds of bars (affinity, stats, progress) confusing.
  • Fix margins and alignment, add light stripes, etc. so that things look polished. This kind of stuff considerably affects the perception of changes.

What I would not do, despite the outrage:
  • "Revert the changes or provide an option to use the old layout" -- I doubt anyone's planning to do this, but still. The only way to go is forward.
  • "Make the order of profile sections customizable" -- Until you redesign the entire website, all design efforts should go into achieving a modern, consistent and polished look. More customization options should come later.
  • "Move favorites back to the sidebar" -- The main concern should be logical distribution of the elements rather than space efficiency. If you intend to use the sidebar for meta information and navigation, keep it that way and place all anime-manga stuff on the main area, one way or another.

There's 2 main reasons why they will not revert the change.

The biggest one is their defense mechanism, a bit of mental gymnastics so to speak. They have convinced themselves beforehand that this will be met with lots of negative reception, and that it will blow over after a bit. As long as they tell themselves to expect a heavy negative reception, they can't be wrong. After all, they were right. This is a common psychological practice, they have set themselves up a situation where they cannot lose.

The second reason is the sunken cost fallacy. Everyone is probably aware of what this is, but just incase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_costs

I actually tend to like the idea of only showing half of the favorites at first. it gives more importance to those first five, while still allowing users to add more favorites if they have a lot. Plus, having all ten visible at once would be kind of large on the page... having half of them hidden keeps the size of that box manageable.
