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


No. A lot of people are complaining, because they don't like to see changes. If it was up to those people, mal would become a fossil. I too complain at some changes, but minor changes like these is really nothing to complain about. We are humans, we can easily adapt to changes.

I keep clicking on manga when I meant to click on anime, now that everything's moved one place to the left x_x Yeah, like everyone else said, it'll take some time getting used to where the new anime and manga list buttons are, and having to click twice to get there. In terms of convenience (not clicking twice), those buttons were better where they used to. I can see why the devs didn't allow the hover drop down for the top left buttons since you could accidentally hover over them, but instead wanted to use the search bar or something. I'll eventually get used to this, but it'll take awhile. I still click on the "Anime" and "Manga" from the bar at top expecting to get to anime search page, lol. And how long has that change been in place :P

But anyways, only wanted to comment on this after I tried doing my normal things, and seeing how that worked. I agree with the clicking twice complaints, and how it feels weird/inconsistent that the messages don't do a drop down either. Although maybe this is still being polished?

After 5 years of clicking "profile" on the left side, I now click "anime search" out of habit.
This is going to take me a long time to get used to. I can't say that I'm a really big fan of the change right now since it's causing me some confusion.

I don't like the disappearance of the "profile" menu, and the "anime list" & "manga list" in the "anime" and "manga" left menus. It feels like we're logged out...

Before, only 1 click was needed to go to my list (mouse over the "anime" menu, then click on "anime list"), and they were all at the same place : on the left, which was convenient.

The change is extremely weired, I don't think I'll can get used to this one day...

Any greasemonkey scripts to fix this change?


Yes please, greasemonkey script to fix this please :/

Loving the notifications thingy. Half the times I forget I posted something, so if someone replies/quotes me I rarely get back to them.

Say what you will about whether you like the changes or not, but it's hard to deny a lot of effort is being put into improving MAL. Keep it up!
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

HB has more problems than "web trends" tbh. It's messy as hell and confusing, but you're right. I liked the simple layout of MAL. I kinda wish my profile button was still there. I keep pressing anime tab 24/7.

This is pretty nice, love the little list button, good update.

Also you don't have to click your name, then go profile to go to your profile, just click your little pic next to the name and you're there.

There is a difference between additional features that improve the functionality of the site and "hey guys, we've just moved some buttons around, have fun fighting your 5 year old habits!". You didn't see many people complaining about the notifications bell, now did you? That's because it was actually something new and useful. In my eyes it's exactly the small changes that are worth complaining about because usually they feel pointless and just disturb you by forcing you to change your habits.

Oh geez, no, not rainbow. I meant like colors for the icons...

But yeah, I guess more color would turn out bad. How about more differences in the shades of blue...?

Edit: Also, a test site > abrupt change would be really nice!

..but more colour doesn't always turn out bad (◔_◔)


Those are colors for the icons, more or less, neh?

But they're easy on the eyes and look nice, so they're fine.

the main problem people have is that it already was one click away in the first place, only now its hiding in a corner.

while in the panel it doesn't show, while into the friend page it shows

The other things aside, I think the quick add button is pretty pointless.
You could have just added an add/edit button for the dropdown results you get from typing something into the search box that's already on every page. It's literally quicker to do that than being redirected to another page, so even calling it quick add is wrong. Not to mention how much easier that would have been rather than implementing a whole new page.

It's normal to reject a sudden change of layout, we'll soon see how useful this update really is... or not? :o

if the point of these layout updateschanges is to make the site more easy to use, forcing members to change their habits makes it harder to use
that applies mostly for long time members, but the feel that comes from all these layout changes is they are giving a big middle finger to all the old members, trendy or not that gives a bad image

(removing the old links to the lists was a dick move)

Digging the changes. Notifications is great up there on the right, great to get a headsup on when someone quotes you.

Keep up the good work.

If your taking requests (lol) a button to change the blue colour would be amazing!

Mine is blue sometimes and orange others to where it does not even seem to mean anything. Maybe they are not done but I dont get why they would try to do these updates on the site itself without testing it first.


agreed, thats actually my question to @Xinil on the first page too if they have a test site for MAL


it's since the profile update i was questioning the same,
but it seems we are the testers

I wonder why you guys love to make MAL a maze. You need to click your picture on the right to get to your profile and you need to click on the logo on the left to get to your panel, how does that make any sense to you?

@Scraps, you can click on your avatar to get to your profile actually.

But I do agree with you, although the issue isn't only the priority... It's also how impractical these changes are.

I wonder when will sites in general learn that giving people options is always better than forcing them to do what you want.

Yeah. Just tried logging out and back in but the notifications are still there.
Press on the bell, press on View All at the bottom.

You'll get to a menu, it'll let you press "Mark all as Read", do that until you have nothing else remaining.
