Hello everyone! I’m pleased to announce and introduce our newest site improvement: a new header and navigation!

The ‘My Page’ navigation links have now moved to the top right section. These were user-specific navigation items, are now more appropriately located near your account details and avatar. This keeps your header clutter-free and allows us to stay up to date with popular web trends.

Here’s a few more details:


  1. Clicking your avatar now takes you to your profile.
  2. Messages now show a counter, instead of just seeing a color change.
  3. List options are now separate from other user account info.
  4. User account info and relevant pages are now under your username and down arrow.
  5. Pending club invites and friend requests are still temporarily under your username menu. These will eventually be integrated into the notifications system in a future release.
  6. The ‘Edit’ buttons for profile and blog areas have been removed to reduce clutter, but they can still be found on their respective pages.


I hope this change comes as a welcome addition. We're working hard to unify the overall site design, and with this update we're another step closer.

Please let us know your thoughts and comments below! Thanks for enjoying and using MyAnimeList!

Looks nice.

edit: While it looks nice, it also feels rather unnecessary if I want to look at my anime list or manga list. Whereas previously it was just one click to get to those things, it is now two clicks and uses a greater amount of time and effort to make sure I click on the correct link, thus affecting its efficiency.

I don't know if it's too much to ask, but why not restore that feature of having the links for the anime list, manga list, etc. on the same line, and then have that be one of the things that we, the users, decide whether or not to show through the use of our Panel Settings?

@Xinil

why cannot MAL have a test site for developers to test their updates first before committing it to the actual site?

lots of people are freaking out when work in progress changes are being made

but nice work, i just hope that the navigation bar is fixed or none movable on the top of the page, if you want to look like facebook then do it all the way lol

anyway thanks for the upgrade

A couple of the new buttons didn't work at first but that seems to be fixed now for me. I will miss the edit button for profiles in the tab but besides that nice job.

I know that but I miss having it on the header, it feels something is "missing" now.

Why not just copy facebook completely or are you trying to slide in these crappy updates a couple at a time?

The only thing I like is the list being separate now. The other things were not necessarily needed although I guess it helps with more consistency in design at least because it seemed odd to have two separate notification systems going so that will make good sense once club invites is moved to notifications.

Whoever is picking the layout designs on MAL is spending too much time on Facebook though. lol

It's actually a strawberry smoothie.

On topic: This is going to take some time to get used to, but I think it's a change in the right direction.

It certainly looks strange but, it is hella convenient.

@xinil just curious is there a way to revert the interface to how it originally was?

edit profile became a bit more difficult but the design does feel consistent and fluent now it only a few of the suggestion would be implemented that would make the experience more complete
