The following list contains tools which have been made to improve the Profile page, in the meantime MAL decides to improve the "Official" profile.. Nothing is final, more suggestions are always welcome, in case of bugs or problems with the current tools, be sure to have the last updated versions before asking for help, please. NOTE as of 8/2020: quite some time has passed, some of the fixes and tools may no longer work as the site itself may have changed further, if even after updating them they still don't work, you can try to contact the original creator of the tools (credited in the following list and also visible in the tool's download pages), or you may be out of luck. The following list is no longer actively maintained. All the tools are individual and acting on a specific part of the profile, that was made on purpose (instead of having a general fix for everything), to allow to choose and pick what to change and what to leave as it is. As if they were profile customization options, that's the logic which was used while making these tools. Since the tools used rely on browser extensions, the changes to the profile will be only visible to you, it's all a client side customization. A quick list of what is currently possible to do with these tools to change the profile page: Scripts
Scripts to use scripts it's required to install a browser add-on to run scripts Moving and Editing panels by scripts • Stats on Top of the page (new order: "Statistics" "About me" "Favorites" "Comments") • Stats on Top of the page (new order: "Statistics" "Favorites" "About me" "Comments") • List Buttons under the profile picture • Removes the Friends section • Stats and Last Updates aligned horizontally (default: Last Updates on top) (if you want the statistics on top, remove the "//" on line 35 in the userscript) • Move Favorites on the Left Side (default position: between Friends and Also Available at) check out also the style upgrade to make the favorites more compact (if you want the Favorites above the Friends, or above the Feeds, check the "//" on lines 82-84 in the userscript, colored code should be the active one, turn active the one you want, by removing and adding "//" before the lines of code, keep only one option active, not more, and save after you are done editing, obviously :P) • Edit and Add Buttons back in the LastUpdates • Navigation bar back at the top of the profile (the one with Home/Reviews/Recommendations/Clubs/Friends) • Add Names and Titles of the Favorites as popups over the images (raw code, use it to create a script) (it can help with the Tiles Favorites not placed on the side) Credits to: Cpt_Mathix for the scripts (check out also his profile for more scripts improving other parts of MAL) Changing the Profile Layout, by scripts • Changing the Colors of the Stats and Last Updated Bars • Turning the Stats Bars how they were before the Update (with a mix of the Old and New stats) (it's possible to change the size of the bars, having pointy corners, the max reference values for each category is into the userscript's code) • Stat Bars with also the Days as bars • Affinity in a 0-100% range Credits to: Annuvin for the scripts Themes to use the following themes (called also stylesheets) it's required to install the Browser add-on Stylish (Firefox version , Chrome version) • Changing the Colors and Sizes of the Stats and Last Updated Bars, using Stylish to make the bars slimmer and with more soft colors Stylesheet download here: https://userstyles.org/styles/119813/myanimelist-profile-bars-styles-sizes (if desired, the colors can be further changed by editing the stylesheet, or there are also other sets of colors in the download page the first version had all the bar's height set as: 5px) Put together by: Steve and Tsiox More Moving and Removing panels, using Stylish • Stats and Last Updates aligned horizontally (compatibility = ??? for Firefox) 2 possible options: Stats on top or Updates on top • Removing the Favorites section Credits to: Steve for the stylesheets • Favourites as Tiles, using Stylish Tutorial: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1440057&show=150#post175 stylesheet download: https://userstyles.org/styles/119952/mal-tiles-for-favourites-2 [it requires the script to move favorites on the side to work, not having it installed can result in the profile page getting broken] it's anyway recommended to use also the script, since with its last update the names and titles are now visible when you hover over the images • if one doesn't want to use the "move on side" script, this is the script-less version: https://userstyles.org/styles/119928/mal-tiles-for-favourites-1 Credits to: Steve for the stylesheets, Cpt_Mathix for the script, Zeando for tech support and AnotherHeaven, sunnysummerday, HaXXspetten, shuryukan(rip, maybe changed nick), Kuromii for the ideas and help! • Fix for the Pixelated Resized Images [it seems MAL finally managed to fix the pixelation, this fix is no longer needed] • Fix for the missing plan to watch bar in the statistics (raw code) /*fix for missing plan to watch bar*/
.profile .user-statistics .stats-graph { width: 380.5px !important; }
.profile .user-statistics .stats-graph span:last-of-type { border-radius: 0 2px 2px 0 !important; }AdBlock • Removing panels using adblocks parts like the oversized favorites and the friend panels can also be removed with an adblock Thanks also to all the people who made suggestions, requests and helped to improve the current tools.

| This post on installation instructions for Tiles for Favourites 2 has been copied from post 175. Tiles for Favourites 2 Our 3rd alternative favourites style... → See our second style "Tiles for Favourites 1" here ← → See our first style "Move favourites on left side" here ← Here is another alternative look for your favourites! (only visable by you but affects all profiles!) Should be compatible with all commonly used browsers! (make sure your browser is updated!) Larger image (shows position on left panel better)  WARNING Make sure that you follow every step carefully and that both the Tampermonkey userscript and the Stylish stylesheet are enabled, otherwise this could break your profile. If your's is broken... 1. Make sure your Stylish stylesheet and Tampermonkey userscript are enabled, then refresh the page! 2. Reread the instructions and follow the steps again. 3. Either delete the stylesheet you have created and replace it with this stylesheet (which you don't necessarily need the userscript for). Or Replace your code with the following: Firefox code: Chrome/ -webkit browser's code: 4. Turn off the userscript and stylesheet (this will disable all changes). Installation Instructions: Thank you to... would be nice if I could give permission for Zeando or Cpt_Mathix to edit this message if they wanted... |

RedUbs said: If anybody still wanted I could actually make a stylesheet that repositions parts of your profile (favourites would be difficult) like this: http://i.imgur.com/QAAWmJN.png And if I actually learnt some more about Stylish I could make it so when you download the style, you can choose which position you want them in. Ahhh yes that looks much better! I'd definitely use it. |

| All good? Any other changes (that are relevant)? http://i.imgur.com/O0APGMh.png Its more compact than before (believe it or not) and it puts the both of the stats and both of the recent updates in-line. Do you want it even more compact like this: http://i.imgur.com/CWtj6QE.png maybe somewhere inbetween the two above? With Softer Bars, the second looks better for sure: http://i.imgur.com/J9dTysu.png Or when you guys get the code you can edit it yourself? |

| MAL looks much better with those scripts ! Huge thanks to everyone who're working on them, I secretly love you. *bows* I also found for myself that profiles feel... more compact, let's say, when the zoom level of he page is set at 90%. Not the best solution though since the 90% zoom tends to grow on other pages as well. I'm still wondering if there would be a way to bring "edit" button back to the last anime updates on the profile. I used that feature ALL THE TIME before so I really miss it now... |
| The only downside is the gap between the recent updates and the favourites is fairly large... PlzAllow said: I miss it too ;;I'm still wondering if there would be a way to bring "edit" button back to the last anime updates on the profile. I used that feature ALL THE TIME before so I really miss it now... You can download the stylesheet here: https://userstyles.org/styles/119846/mal-profile-repositions I'm working on adding different options on the new positions. + Because the way it is coded isn't very good at all (but can't really be better), I worry how compatible it will be with other stylesheets. |

It should work with most lesser stylesheets (stylesheets that don't completely change the whole look of the MAL website) For a few examples: I can say it does work with: - 'Modernized' stylesheet by Metricx [and 'Modern Dark' stylesheet by Tsiox (base code by Metricx)] - 'Dark and Flat' by Rsslone Not really sure what happened here: - 'Flat' stylesheet by Metricx http://i.imgur.com/JrnVJdt.png - 'Crayon' stylesheet by Sunnysummerday http://i.imgur.com/Z4ZwNuk.png ~ It was caused by userscripts on my end (will not be as bad as in the picture). etc. |

I tried to be clever like RedUbs and edited my page's source code to move the favourites, and uh... this happened... Yeah, I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing. At least they're on the right side...? xD |

| ok, deleted and replaced the code, still nothing :( (but still need to reload so who knows) maybe the moving things around doesn't work so well in firefox? what you mean the drop down doesn't work? it doesn't change the sheet being installed? i'm seeing it and selecting it fine "(I say they work, but they really aren't great if you have another style...)" currently i'm using only the soft bars and this repositioning |

| If you want to reduce the whitespace in-between the updates/stats and the favorites section, you can set the margin to be negative in the code, like this for example: .page-common .mb24{ margin-bottom: -40px !important; Here's what mine looks like atm, think it's pretty fine really: http://i.imgur.com/NQ82Uc3.png |
